Mr. Tasker.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

And with reference to the one that came out, you don't know how to fix that at all?

Mr. Tasker.

I believe that one came out after the shooting.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that the time that Vaughan stepped out in the street--you think that was after the shooting ?

Mr. Tasker.

Yeah.

Mr. Hubert.

How did the shooting come to your attention ?

Mr. Tasker.

I heard it--I heard the fire I heard the shot.

Mr. Hubert.

And it was after you heard the shot that you saw Vaughan come out and that car come in there?

Mr. Tasker.

There was cars come out of there maybe several cars, but I know of two that come out of there at least.

Mr. Hubert.

After the shooting?

Mr. Tasker.

After the shooting.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, put your mind to this--you remember the shooting because your memory still retains the sound of that shot?
Mr. TASKER. Yes; I heard the shot.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, about a minute or so before that, did a car come out of that place?
Mr. TASKER. I believe it did, sir; and I won't swear it to be the truth, but I believe it did, because that policeman had gotten away from that opening for some reason, and he was sort of crouched down so he could see under the curvature of the basement, you know? You know what I'm trying to explain to you? He couldn't stand up straight and see into the basement--you have to crouch down to see what those people were doing down there he crouched down and pulled his pistol, when he heard that fire.

Mr. Hubert.

No; I was thinking about that automobile coming out of there just before?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, I believe that's where that automobile come up there because they got him away from that door, you see.

Mr. Hubert.

You mean--before the shot?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, he got away from that door for some reason--just before that happened

Mr. Hubert.

Just before the shot?
Mr. TASKER. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see him get away from the door ?
Mr. TASKER. Oh, he was just there keeping people back.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, isn't it a fact that the car passed by and he had to get out of the way of the car so it could pass, isn't that it, and that he stepped out and perhaps went at least to the curb and perhaps into the street to look for traffic ?

Mr. Tasker.

Yes; that's possible.

Mr. Hubert.

But you have no recollection of it?

Mr. Tasker.

No---I don't know this, but I believe that at the time that that was all screwed up and the crowd was kind of leaving, they sent him some help out there----a plainclothes policeman.

Mr. Hubert.

That was after the shooting too, wasn't it?

Mr. Tasker.

Well, that was a few minutes before the shooting too.

Mr. Hubert.

Why did you think that the man they sent to help him, who was in plainclothes, was a policeman?

Mr. Tasker.

Because I know him when I see him.

Mr. Hubert.

What's his name?

Mr. Tasker.

I don't know what his name is, sir. I know he's a policeman

Mr. Hubert.

Was he a white man or Negro?

Mr. Tasker.

Yes. When you drive a cab for 2 years and I've been in this town since 1923, you learn the policemen.

Mr. Hubert.

It was your impression that there was a policeman in plain-Clothes was sent or who came to stand with the man--the policeman in uniform?

Mr. Tasker.

Well--and to assist him with that traffic and that crowd, and when the shooting happened, then they called in additional squad cars to come there and help too.
