Mr. Griffin. You mean Main Street?
Chief Batchelor. No; Elm Street, and that the truck carrying Oswald and a car of detectives would drop out of the convoy, out on Main Street and drive down Main Street by themselves. In other words, the truck was to be a decoy, and the lead car and all the other cars would follow it on down Elm Street, while the car carrying the prisoner would go down Main Street.
Mr. Griffin. What security was there going to be?
Chief Batchelor. We had moved the officers over from Elm Street to Main Street on the corner. The only security would have been a car carrying detectives, following the car carrying the prisoner and detectives.
Mr. Griffin. How were the officers moved, by a radio dispatcher, or was somebody sent out?
Chief Batchelor. A sergeant was sent out, a three-wheeler. Talbert had it done. I don't recall who did that.
Mr. Griffin. Now, did you know at this point whether there was an officer stationed at the corner of Main and Commerce? Main and Pearl Expressway?
Chief Batchelor. No; I don't know whether there was or not.
