(Testimony of Harry Tasker)
Mr. Tasker.
Oh, yes; he Just went and got them and brought them back out. He didn't mistreat them or anything like that.
Mr. Hubert.
How would they slip by ?
Mr. Tasker.
Well, he was probably looking at something on this side and somebody didn't know he was on guard there and walked down there.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, Just about a minute or so before the shooting, did you see a car come out of that ramp, come out of the Main Street ramp, out of that ramp, with policemen in it?
Mr. Tasker.
There was a car went in, wasn't it?
Mr. Hubert.
You saw a car go in?
Mr. Tasker.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How long before the shooting did that car go in?
Mr. Tasker.
I really don't know. It wasn't too awful long.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, how long?
Mr. Tasker.
Oh, probably 15 or 20 minutes, we'll say.
Mr. Hubert.
Before the shooting?
Mr. Tasker.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
What kind of car was it?
Mr. Tasker.
It was one of the police squad cars.
Mr. Hubert.
It had policemen in it?
Mr. Tasker.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How many, do you remember ?
Mr. Tasker.
Well, there was three people three was two policemen and a gentleman in there in civilian clothes.
Mr. Hubert.
And they drove down into the basement ?
Mr. Tasker.
Down into the ramp---they drove down the ramp.
Mr. Hubert.
Which way did they come from, do you know?
Mr. Tasker.
Well, they came from
Mr. Hubert.
The Harwood Street direction?
Mr. Tasker.
I believe they came off of Harwood and made a left turn there on Main Street and went on down in the ramp.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see any other cars go down there?
Mr. Tasker.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Only one?
Mr. Tasker.
That's all I remember.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see any car come out?
Mr. Tasker.
Well, I seen some cars come out after the shooting.
Mr. Hubert.
No; I mean before the shooting?
Mr. Tasker.
No--I don't remember that.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't remember any at all?
Mr. Tasker.
I don't remember whether any of them come out or not. It seemed to me like that the policeman was having a problem more so with people coming down on Sunday morning to get their friends and relatives and things like that out of jail after a Saturday night drunk.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, the people that wanted to get in there, you thought had a legitimate reason for going in there?
Mr. Tasker.
Yes, but they couldn't come in that door.
Mr. Hubert.
How were you able to tell that, could you hear conversations ?
Mr. Tasker.
No, but that's the general thing down there on Sunday morning.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever go on the other side of Main Street from where your car was parked?
Mr. Tasker.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You always stayed on your own side ?
Mr. Tasker.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Nathaniel Daniels ?
Mr. Tasker.
I don't believe I do.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know Jack Ruby at all?
Mr. Tasker.
No--no, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You've seen his pictures, of course, since?
Mr. Tasker.
Oh, I've seen his pictures.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see him around in that crowd that morning?
