Mr. Griffin. Had the search of the garage already begun when you arrived?
Mr. Newman. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. What did you do in connection with the search?
Mr. Newman. I searched—well, we looked inside all the automobiles. We checked to make sure the trunk was locked, that the hood was securely latched, and this general area right in here, there were three or four of us working that area in there [indicating].
Mr. Griffin. And you are talking now about the Commerce Street half of the garage?
Mr. Newman. That's right.
Mr. Griffin. What else did you do besides search the cars?
Mr. Newman. That was it, until I was assigned to that post.
Mr. Griffin. Now, did you see what Sergeant Dean did?
Mr. Newman. No; I didn't. The only time I remember seeing him, they found a sporting type rifle in a car somewhere. I think it was later identified as belonging to one of the officers. I saw him walking out with it.
