Mr. Hubert. He would be out of your custody on "tempo," is that right?
Lieutenant Wiggins. Not necessarily. Let me say this: that the—that the city police transfer prisoners on occasion over to the county jail.
Mr. Hubert. Yes.
Lieutenant Wiggins. But, this is rare. It is—there are instances I can name. For instance, they have filed on a prisoner and just for courtesy to the prisoner, more or less, he wants to get to the county and they just transfer him on down to the county themselves.
Mr. Hubert. How do you relieve yourselves of responsibility in those circumstances?
Lieutenant Wiggins. Each prisoner who is transferred, the card is signed, or the name of the officer that is making the transfer is placed on his card. His property is turned over to the officer making the transfer.
Mr. Hubert. Was this done in this way?
Lieutenant Wiggins. No; in this case, they were going to take the property later.
Mr. Hubert. Naturally, he was in the custody of Captain Fritz at the time of the transfer, isn't that right?
