Mr. Griffin. Well now, do you know how long records of that sort are retained by the police department?
Mr. Arnett. I suppose they are kept for a long time.
Mr. Griffin. Now, what time was it that you arrived at the Police and Courts Building the next day?
Mr. Arnett. Nine o'clock a.m.
Mr. Griffin. All right. How many men would you estimate that you contacted about this between the time that you got the word from Lieutenant Merrell and the time you arrived at 9 o'clock?
Mr. Arnett. If I remember right, I called Lieutenant Merrell—I mean Lieutenant McCoy, and I saw Lieutenant Nicholson and told him to call some of his men. If I remember right, though, those are the only two people I contacted on it.
Mr. Griffin. Now, would Lieutenant Merrell have had occasion to contact any other officers, to give instructions to men?
Mr. Arnett. He could have called some of the sergeants and told them.
Mr. Griffin. I see. Would there have been any other captains who would have given instructions similar to ones you gave?
Mr. Arnett. Well, there are three more captains, but so far as I know there wasn't any contacted, unless it was Captain Crump and I didn't contact him.
