Mr. Truly. What is this here?
Mr. Belin. This is to show this is a stairway, and there is a stairway above it, too. But you went up the stairs right here?
Mr. Truly. That is right.
Mr. Belin. Okay. And where was this officer at that time?
Mr. Truly. This officer was right behind me and coming up the stairway.
By the time I reached the second floor, the officer was a little further behind me than he was on the first floor, I assume—I know.
Mr. Belin. Was he a few feet behind you then?
Mr. Truly. He was a few feet. It is hard for me to tell. I ran right on around to my left, started to continue on up the stairway to the third floor, and on up.
Mr. Belin. Now, when you say you ran on to your left, did you look straight ahead to see whether there was anyone in that area, or were you intent on just going upstairs?
Mr. Truly. If there had been anybody in that area, I would have seen him on the outside. But I was content—I was trying to show the officer the pathway up, where the elevators—I mean where the stairways continued.
