Mr. Hubert. Did you follow those instructions?
Mr. Vaughn. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Hubert. Did you have any part in the checkout of the basement?
Mr. Vaughn. As far as actually checking the basement?
Mr. Hubert. Yes, sir.
Mr. Vaughn. Well, I was assigned by Sergeant Putnam, who was with Sergeant Dean in the basement, when we got down there—Sergeant Putnam assigned me to the Main Street ramp and I believe he assigned also Patrolman Patterson to the Commerce Street ramp.
Mr. Hubert. Now, about what time did he assign you to the Main Street entrance?
Mr. Vaughn. I would say, Mr. Hubert, somewhere around 9:30—I couldn't be definite.
Mr. Hubert. Did he give you any instructions?
Mr. Vaughn. Yes; he said not to let anybody enter the basement except police and the press, and only the press when they had an official press card, and if I didn't recognize any officer by sight to require identification.
