Mr. Tasker.

No, sir; I never have remembered seeing that man coming up, walking, riding, or anything else.

Mr. Hubert.

You didn't see him coming up Main Street from the Western Union office ?

Mr. Tasker.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

You didn't see him walking along Main Street?

Mr. Tasker.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you see Vaughan come out in the street at anytime to control traffic so the police car could get by ?

Mr. Tasker.

I believe, sir; he did. I'm not for sure, but I believe one of them come out there to control traffic, and I suppose it was him.

Mr. Hubert.

When did he have occasion to do that?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, it was---I think he came out to hold the traffic up so this car could get out.

Mr. Hubert.

Which car was that?

Mr. Tasker.

The one coming out of the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

And how long before the shooting was that?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, I don't remember whether that was before that shooting or after.

Mr. Hubert.

You don't remember whether it was before or after?

Mr. Tasker.

I don't remember that, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

But you do remember that on one occasion at least, that you saw him come out to direct traffic so that this automobile could come out?

Mr. Tasker.

That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

And you remember only one automobile?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, it might have been more, but I don't remember but one.

Mr. Hubert.

Your impression is that what you saw was after the shooting rather than before?

Mr. Tasker.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you have any reason for forming that opinion?

Mr. Tasker.

No--I've been very--I've always thought the case I've never talked about the case to anybody, you see, because in the first place, I would implicate myself in something I don't want to be implicated in. I have no part of it and---

Mr. Hubert.

Were you ever interviewed by the FBI?

Mr. Tasker.

Sir?

Mr. Hubert.

Were you ever interviewed by the FBI?

Mr. Tasker.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Let me ask you again--did any cars go down in there, say within 5 or 10 minutes before the shooting--go down in there? You said you saw one?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, now, sir; it seemed like it probably would have been more than one and it might have been two, but Just to remember back that far, I don't remember too much about it no more.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, as I understand it, you would say that there was at least one and possibly two cars that went down in the basement?

Mr. Tasker.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I'd like, if you could, to fix the time of at least the one and possibly the other ?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, let me think about it this way--what time in the morning
was it he was shot down there? Wasn't it between 10 and 11 o'clock?

Mr. Hubert.

Suppose you figure it was about 11:20 ?

Mr. Tasker.

He got shot around 11:20 ?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Tasker.

Well--

Mr. Hubert.

I don't know if you can do it by clock time, unless you were watching your watch. You'd have to do it by how much time passed between the time the car went down in and/or came out and the time of the shooting?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, sir; it seemed to me like that those cars probably went down there around 20 to 30 minutes ahead of that shooting.
Mr. HUBERT. It's your impression that there was none that went down in there 5 or 10 minutes before the shooting?
