Mr. Archer. We used the interior elevator, of which there are two moving from the basement to the fourth floor. It is generally inside the building.
Mr. Hubert. The public elevator? Not the jail elevator?
Mr. Archer. Oh, no, sir.
Mr. Hubert. You were in uniform?
Mr. Archer. No, no, sir; I was in civilian clothes, much as I am right now. White shirt, tie and suit.
Mr. Hubert. You don't wear uniforms?
Mr. Archer. No, sir; I am a plainclothes officer.
Mr. Hubert. Now, you referred to "we" indicating that there were several of you there. Who were the others? Do you remember?
Mr. Archer. I couldn't name you all the officers, I know Detective Clardy and Detective McMillon and Detective Dawson and Lieutenant Smart and myself were on this. We rode down in the same elevator. That's all I recall. There were other officers that eventually gathered in the basement, riding down, that is the only ones that I recall.
Mr. Hubert. Did that party move as a party as you left the elevator?
