(Testimony of George Senator Resumed)

Mr. Hubert.
I think you said that.
Mr. Senator.
I never said that, never.
Mr. Hubert.
I misunderstood you then.
Mr. Senator.
You sure did.
Mr. Hubert.
You did not mean----
Mr. Senator.
You sure did.
Mr. Hubert.
Did I hear that right?
Mr. Griffin.
I did not catch it.
Mr. Senator.
You sure did.
Mr. Hubert.
In any case, if I did hear that I was wrong about that?
Mr. Senator.
You definitely were wrong. You definitely were wrong. I don't even remember this incident being said.
Mr. Hubert.
That is all right I just wanted to get it clear, because some people might misunderstand the phrase, and I would not want that to be misunderstood if it were not true.
Mr. Senator.
It definitely isn't.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. So when you got there, what happened?
Mr. Senator.
The place was mobbed, and, of course, I believe there were a couple of police attendants by the elevator as we got off.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you go, in fact?
Mr. Senator.
Actually, I didn't know where to go. We went upstairs.
Mr. Hubert.
What entrance, do you remember?
Mr. Senator.
I don't know. I guess the front entrance, we went up.
Mr. Hubert.
You went to the Chief of Police office, or what office?
Mr. Senator.
I don't know what office I was at.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know whom you reported to or whom you were with?
Mr. Senator.
First we were mobbed. I told these people, these two policemen, whoever they were I don't know, I told them who I was.
Mr. Hubert.
Where were they stationed?
Mr. Senator.
They were right by the elevator as you got off.
Mr. Hubert.
As you got off on one of the upper floors?
Mr. Senator.
One. of the floors. I don't remember what floor it was on.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, you were not mobbed, as you put it, or you did not speak to anybody as you came into the building?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
On the ground floor?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
But as you got off, whatever floor it was, two policemen stopped you; is that the idea?
Mr. Senator.
Yes. I was with Jim Martin.
Mr. Hubert.
And when they stopped you, they asked your name I suppose?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you told them?
Mr. Senator.
Told them who I was. And then, you know, the place was mobbed and there was a bunch, whoever these people were, reporters or whatever, there were some of them there. They happened to overhear it, and they mobbed me. They mobbed me.
Then eventually two great big policemen came over and one grabbed me on one side of the arm, you know, they looked like giants to me, and one on the other side and they took me into this room. Remember I told you they put me into a little sort of solitary room.
Mr. Hubert.
That is on the same floor?
Mr. Senator.
Yes. And I don't remember how long. I mean I had no way of knowing time that I was in there in this room there waiting for somebody who was going to--they said to wait there, I don't know. They kept me in this room. Then somebody finally approached me. They wanted a statement.
Mr. Hubert.
You got there, I suppose, about 20 or 30 minutes after leaving Martin's house?
Mr. Senator.
I would say something like that, between 20 and 30 minutes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you were, almost immediately after getting off on one of the upper floors of the building, mobbed by the press group and taken by these two policemen?
