Mr. Griffin. When was the truck brought down?
Chief Batchelor. It was brought down—probably it wasn't at 10 o'clock, because they didn't get there that early. It must have been closer to 11 o'clock when they finally got down there with it.
Mr. Griffin. Did you say anything else to Mr. Fleming during this first telephone conversation? Did you tell him anything about the route?
Chief Batchelor. I don't believe that I told him the route we were going to take, no. I know I didn't tell him.
Mr. Griffin. While you were on the telephone with Mr. Fleming, where was Chief Curry, if you know?
Chief Batchelor. He was in his office. I called Mr. Fleming from my office. I left his office and went into my office and called him.
Mr. Griffin. How about Chief Stevenson, where was he?
Chief Batchelor. He was either in his office or in Chief Curry's office with him. We were all together.
Mr. Griffin. At the time that Curry got off the first telephone call with Decker, was there anything that Stevenson was supposed to do?
Chief Batchelor. Well, he and I both, under Chief Curry's instructions, he said you'd better go downstairs and see what manpower you will need to cover that basement down there. One other thing, Chief Lumpkin had come in and he was the man I asked to find out for me how tall that ramp was down there, what the clearance was.
