Mr. Archer. Well, at the beginning of the morning I was performing my regular duties and carrying out my assignments and making my general investigations.
Mr. Hubert. That is in connection with routine auto thefts?
Mr. Archer. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Were you taken from that routine of duties?
Mr. Archer. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. By whom, and at what time?
Mr. Archer. As I recall, and as near as I can recall, and this is only approximate, about 8:40 a.m., Lieutenant Smart came into our bureau and advised us that Chief Stevenson had asked us to stand by to remain in that bureau, to await further orders, which we did. And I continued carrying on what work I could there in the office concerning my reports.
Mr. Hubert. So that the first order you got was to remain where you were, not move out, and stand by?
Mr. Archer. Not to leave, that's right, and to be there.
Mr. Hubert. All right. What happened after that?
