Mr. Griffin.

And do you want to label that parking attendant, or whatever you think is appropriate?

Mr. Dean.

All right [indicating], this is a colored boy that usually sits here. He has a bench there he sits on until he is needed. We made him leave.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Made him leave?

Mr. Dean.

In fact, I think he was relieved from duty that day, because I took him out of the Commerce Street ramp.

Mr. Griffin.

And was there somebody operating that service elevator?

Mr. Dean.

The Service elevator?

Mr. Griffin.

How many people were in that service elevator?

Mr. Dean.

There was one. When I said two persons I was thinking of the elevator operator, which is also a colored boy, and the parking attendant.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you want to Just put an X on the service elevator, to indicate there was somebody in there?

Mr. Dean.

All right, sir [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Now, you want to place a mark at approximately the place that you stationed the men who were guarding the 'entrance to the subbasement, this reserve officer?

Mr. Dean.

Oh, the subbasement. Let me see [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Let me explain this diagram to you. This is the basement, this dotted line here is the upstairs [indicating].

Mr. DEAN. Oh, I see.

Mr. Griffin.

This actually goes under the sidewalk here [indicating].

Mr. Dean.

This is where the reserve officer was [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Now, where did you station Brock?

Mr. Dean.

Put him in a position that he could see this door here and also these three elevators [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Now, who else did you station in the basement?

Mr. Dean.

No One well, Nelson was--let's see, Nelson was here [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

And where did you place Vaughn and where did you place Patterson?

Mr. Dean.

Is this the exit proper, door, here to the--[indicating] ?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes. This would be the top of the ramp here [indicating].

Mr. Dean.

All right.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Now, you want to sign this down here and mark on there the time, sign it there and then in the middle of the diagram, so it doesn't confuse things here, put the well, sign it over under here. If we put time in here, somebody may think that was the time that you made the mark on here. Then if you would label this status of basement, whenever it was that-- [ indicating].

Mr. Dean.

During the search?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Dean.

[Indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Okay. Very good. Now, you have marked on here approximately 9:15 to 9:30 a.m. I am not going to ask you what you found there and so forth, because you have made a full statement on it. We know, for example, you found a rifle in the back of one of the police cars ?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, after the search was completed, where did you go?

Mr. Dean.

The pressmen were allowed to come back in.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me ask you this, where had they been removed to?

Mr. Dean.

Into the police court building, or the basement.

Mr. Griffin.

By the records room ?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

I see. And they were allowed back in the basement?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What is your best estimate of the number of policemen that came back into the basement?

Mr. Dean.

Well, of course, it increased as the time went on, so it would be hard to

Mr. Griffin.

How many newspapermen did you have to clear out of the basement at 9:15, approximately?

Mr. Dean.

Oh, approximately 15 or 20, maybe 25.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, when you went down into the basement, before the search, were there any TV cameras down there?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir; I believe there was.
