Mr. Mooney. They were relayed on to us. I assume Mr. Decker was up near the intersection of Elm and Houston.
Mr. Ball. Did you hear it over a loudspeaker?
Mr. Mooney. No, sir. It come by word, by another officer.
Mr. Ball. And you were with Walters at that time?
Mr. Mooney. Right. And where Officer Walters went at that time, I don't know. We split up. I didn't see him any more until later on, which I will refer to later.
Mr. Ball. Where did you go?
Mr. Mooney. Mr. Webster and Mr. Vickery were there with me at the time that we received these orders from another deputy.
Mr. Ball. They are deputy sheriffs?
Mr. Mooney. Yes, sir; they were plainclothes officers like myself, work in the same department, and we run right over to the building then, which we were only 150, 200 feet back—I assume it is that distance—I haven't measured it. It didn't take us but a few seconds to get there. When we hit the rear part, these big iron gates, they have cyclone fencing on them—this used to be an old grocery store warehouse—Sachs & Co., I believe is correct. And I says let's get these doors closed to block off this rear entrance.
Mr. Ball. Were the doors open?
