Mr. Stevenson. Right.
Mr. Hubert. Did Captain Batchelor indicate to you at that time whether the FBI knew who had made this call?
Mr. Stevenson. No, sir; he did not.
Mr. Hubert. Did he indicate to you that it was an anonymous call?
Mr. Stevenson. I believe, as I remember, he did say that the message that he got was that an anonymous caller had notified the FBI.
Mr. Hubert. All right; go ahead with it then.
Mr. Stevenson. They had discussed the possibility of transferring the prisoner in an armored car due to these threats. I walked in the office, in the chief's office while that was being discussed, and the chief asked me what I thought about it.
I told him I thought it would be a good idea, in view of the threats. Chief Batchelor went to his office to contact one of the local armored truck operators, who was, I believe, a Mr. Fleming, and made arrangements to get an armored truck. I remained around the office on the third floor, and I believe Chief Batchelor and I made another trip down in the basement before I went after some coffee.
Chief Batchelor advised Chief Curry he had ordered the armored truck and told Chief Curry, he and I were going to the basement and look the area over. We went to the basement, and Captain Talbert had set up, what we thought, was a very good security.
Mr. Hubert. Did you see it yourself?
