Mr. Hubert. Television cameras?
Captain Talbert. Television cameras, yes, sir. The others were movie or still cameras and other cameramen, or strictly reporters, and in "Area C," we had a fairly dense group in the immediate Main Street side, and two to three ranks over towards the Commerce Street side dividing it in half.
Now, immediately after Lieutenant Pierce informed me of the change in plans, we had to remove the people from the ramps so that he could get out on the Main Street side, and they immediately closed back up, and as he cleared the parking area to enter the ramp, a plain white or light-colored car pulled onto it, and pulled up behind the armored car on the Commerce Street side, and another plain light-colored car attempted to pull up behind him, but he wasn't up far enough, so, we had to holler at them to pull up a little further, which he did. That car was attempting to back in, and had to cut to the left in order to back up the vehicle—go to the right to get back into the jail-office entrance. That was my understanding of his efforts to do, and the news media was crowding in on him, so, that there was danger of him running over them with his vehicle, should it move. So, I was by the left front fender of that vehicle, Chief Batchelor was to my right, Captain O. A. Jones to my left and we were—and one or two—perhaps more reserve officers were there, too, pushing the news media back to let that car have room to maneuver.
Mr. Hubert. I am going to mark on the map an area which I am marking auto and——
Captain Talbert. All right, sir.
Mr. Hubert. With the understanding that the front of it indicated by an arrow is pointed toward Commerce Street?
Captain Talbert. All right, sir.
Mr. Hubert. All right. Now, would you mark the circle where you were about the time of the event you have just described?
Captain Talbert. This auto is angled in here.
Mr. Hubert. Maybe we had better angle it then.
