Mr. Griffin. Of course, they were guarding the ramps?
Mr. Dean. Right. Patterson, Vaughn were guarding the ramps, and that was my instructions to them, to keep everyone out until we had completed the search. Then after we had completed the search, to let no one in other than properly identified pressmen or policemen, and to not to leave those assignments unless they were relieved by myself or Sergeant Putnam.
Mr. Griffin. Now, can you give us some idea of how many cars there were in the garage at that time?
Mr. Dean. Some, I would say 25 or 30.
Mr. Griffin. Were these cars eventually moved out at any time?
Mr. Dean. No, sir; some few of them were district squad cars that had come in with prisoners, and then, of course, they left, but as a mass movement to move the cars out, we didn't.
Mr. Griffin. Who checked the stairway door in the garage that leads up into the municipal building?
Mr. Dean. The stairway door?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Dean. I don't know of any door that leads up into the—the stairway?
