Mr. Rankin. Who was that?

Mr. Wade. Barefoot Sanders and he was in agreement it was going to be our case rather than his and he had been doing the same thing.

Mr. Rankin. Where did you talk to him?

Mr. Wade. On the telephone as I recall, in his office from my office. I am not even sure I talked with him, somebody from my office talked to him, because I think you can realize things were a little confused and that took us, say, until 3:30 or 4.

I let everybody in the office go home, but some of my key personnel who stayed there. I let the girls or told them they could go home, because they did close all the offices down there. The next thing I did—do you want me to tell you?

Mr. Rankin. Yes.

Mr. Wade. I will tell you what I can.

The next thing I did was to go by the sheriff's office who is next door to me and talked to Decker, who is the sheriff. Bill Decker, and they were interviewing witnesses who were on the streets at the time, and I asked him and he said they have got a good prospect.

This must have been 3 o'clock roughly.

Mr. Rankin. The witnesses that were on the street near the Depository Building?
