Mr. Vaughn. I actually don't recall.
Mr. Hubert. Did any of your superior officers question you about whether Jack could have gotten by you?
Mr. Vaughn. Yes, they questioned me quite extensively about it. That was on Sunday it happened, and I worked Monday, and I think it was—I talked to Lieutenant Pierce some, I believe, and Tuesday I was off and so Tuesday morning around 9 o'clock they called me at home and told me to come in and write a report and so I got up and went down there and wrote a report Tuesday, and I was off Wednesday. So Wednesday night I was supposed to be off Thursday at that particular time—I had three days off that week, and I think it was a holiday fell in there somewhere—Thanksgiving is what it was—and Wednesday night they called me at home, Lieutenant Pierce called me. I don't recall that it was—whether it was 7 or 8 or 9 o'clock, and told me to come in and go to work Thursday morning, that Chief Fisher wanted to talk to me, and I came in and went ahead and went to work and I worked until, I believe, 8:30 or 9 and I got a call to report to 511 on a mark-out.
Mr. Hubert. What is a mark-out?
Mr. Vaughn. That means you are out of service. The dispatcher will show you being somewhere else, and so when I went up there, Chief Fisher, Captain Talbert, and Lieutenant Pierce, I believe, was all sitting in this little assembly room and they were talking, and I didn't say anything else—I didn't say anything to them, and so within a few minutes Chief Fisher asked me as I recall, now maybe I'm a little bit wrong, as far as he asked me, but somebody asked me if I was ready to go up to his office and I said "Yes," and we went on up to Chief Fisher's office which is up on the third floor and I was accompanied by Lieutenant Pierce and Captain Talbert, so Chief Fisher questioned me about it quite extensively, and I told him the exact story that I had in my report and I have told you, and then he asked me—he said he didn't doubt my integrity, but would I take a lie detector test and I told him—yes, I would take a lie detector test and I went in and Detective Bentley, who was operating the polygraph, and so I went in and took the test.
Mr. Hubert. Did you know at that time that Daniels had said that he had seen somebody go by you?
Mr. Vaughn. No, sir—I had contacted Daniels, of course—I didn't actually clear my conversation when I talked to him about it—I had contacted Daniels—I remember seeing him there, after personally knowing Daniels—I knew him by sight, and he knew me by sight, and so——
Mr. Hubert. When did you contact Daniels?
Mr. Vaughn. It was on Monday morning.
Mr. Hubert. And you did so, I suppose, because you knew of the possibility that was being talked about that Ruby had passed by you and you thought that he was there and he might know?
