Mr. Griffin.

Did you stay around the office all the rest of the time that you were there, that you were on duty?

Mr. Dean.

Well, I would imagine that I went back to the basement. Let me think. The rest of the time I didn't do anything in particular. I mean any specific assignment that I can recall.

Mr. Griffin.

But you seem to have some idea that you went back to the basement?

Mr. Dean.

Well, the reason I think that I did, I had been away from there about an hour and a half, and I just wanted to go back. I am sure that I went back down there just to check on the situation and the confusion that might have been in the basement, to see if possibly I would have to notify the on-coming platoon how many men they might need to stay around the city hall, quell this confusion.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you go back up to the third floor at all?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

The rest of that day?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir; I don't think so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk to any officers from the homicide bureau at all, that day, the rest of that day?

Mr. Dean.

Not that I recall; no, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you talk with any police officers that day, about how Ruby got into the basement?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Who did you talk to?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir; now, you are bringing something back. I know now what I did immediately--we will have to go back on the record. When I got back to the city hail, I contacted Lieutenant Pierce and advised him--that's when I talked to Pierce about my conversation with Ruby, and I told him that I had talked to Ruby and that he told me that--how he had gotten into the basement, which was breaking security, and that Officer R. E. Vaughn was the man involved.

Mr. Griffin.

Ruby told you--or you told him-

Mr. Dean.

I told Lieutenant Pierce that Ruby had told me he had came in through the Main Street ramp, at which Officer Vaughn was posted.

Mr. Griffin.

And then what did you and Pierce do?

Mr. Dean.

He notified the captain of this.

Mr. Griffin.

Talbert?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

And did Talbert come in? Were you present when Pierce notified Talbert ?

Mr. Dean.

I was present when--I do know that they called Vaughn in, but I think that he had already gone home that day, and that he was off the next day, and I think they called him to tell him to come, to report to the office this next morning, to investigate whether he did let Ruby in or how he got in, or why he said he came in through his post.

Mr. Griffin.

You didn't talk with Vaughn the rest of the day?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

And to your knowledge Pierce didn't talk with him the rest of that day?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Or Talbert?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, what else was done that day, as you recall, as a result of your telling Pierce about the conversation with Ruby?

Mr. Dean.

I am sure that--I don't know. I am thinking that Captain Talbert called Chief Fisher, notified him of it.

Mr. Griffin.

What's your best estimate of what time of the day that would have been, that you talked with Pierce?

Mr. Dean.

It was that afternoon, I believe, after I had gotten back from the hospital. I didn't remember it a while ago, but I think when I did get back from the hospital, that's when I told Lieutenant Pierce about it, somewhere around 2:30 or 3.
