Mr. Hubert. To leave two men in the basement and to what?
Mr. Vaughn. Well, he said after this was all completed, this transferring was completed, to leave two men—that means to leave two men in the basement area and to secure the other two.
Mr. Hubert. And to secure the other two what?
Mr. Vaughn. Two men—you see, there were four of us that went down and he said to leave two in the basement and to secure the other two.
Mr. Hubert. What does that mean, "secure the other two?"
Mr. Vaughn. Well, that means just turn them loose and send them back to their regular duties.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, of the four men, you were to help in whatever Dean was doing, and then he told you, "Tell Dean—leave two men in the basement and turn the other two loose?"
Mr. Vaughn. Yes; that's after everything was completed. That's his message that he more or less sent by me to Sergeant Dean.
Mr. Hubert. Now, does that term "secure" mean to turn the men loose—does that mean they would go off duty or that they were to report back somewhere else to work?
Mr. Vaughn. They were to report back for somewhere else.
