Then that is all I did at that time. I saw that they were setting up some security. A little while later Chief Batchelor and Chief Stevenson went downstairs and found Captain Talbert who was the platoon commander, radio platoon commander had some sergeants down there and they were setting up security and were told clean everything out of the basement and not let anybody in here, I think the depositions will show that, not let anybody in except police officers and news media who had proper credentials. Mr. RANKIN. What about the various entrances, was anything done about that? Mr. CURRY. Well, the entrances to the basement, yes, and the entrances from the basement of city hall out into the basement proper where the cars come in. Mr. RANKIN. What was done about that? Mr. CURRY. Every entrance there were guards put on it with instructions not to let anyone come or go except police officers or news people that had proper credentials. Mr. RANKIN. What entrances are there to the basement? Mr. CURRY. This is a Main Street entrance for vehicles, that would be on the north side of the building. There is a Commerce Street exit which would be on the south side of the building, on the west side downstairs there is an entrance from the jail corridor where the public goes to the jail window into the basement of the parking area. Then there are some elevators that come from the municipal building, that come down to the basement level. There are also, there is also an opening that goes from this basement down into a subbasement where the maintenance men have their offices. (At this point, Senator Cooper left the hearing room.) Mr. RANKIN. And each one of those was guarded? Mr. CURRY. Yes, sir. Mr. RANKIN. Throughout the time? Mr. CURRY. Yes, sir. Mr. RANKIN. What other precautions were made? Mr. CURRY. There were a great number of police reservists and detectives and uniformed officers, I think there was a total, I believe of about 74 men in this area between the jail office and the immediate area where he would be loaded. Mr. RANKIN. How large an area was that? Mr. CURRY. Well, where he would be brought out of the jail office to put him in this car, would be, I would say, 16 or 20 feet, and then this building, this ramp runs from one street to the other, and the parking area would cover a block wide and perhaps 150 feet deep. Mr. RANKIN. Were there cars in the parking area? Mr. CURRY. Some cars were there. They had been searched out, all of them. All of the vehicles had been searched, and all the, where the airconditioning ducts were, they had all been searched, every place where a person could conceal himself had been searched out. Mr. RANKIN. Was there a plan for an armored car? Mr. CURRY. Yes, sir; there was. Mr. RANKIN. What happened about that?
