Mr. Griffin. There was?
Chief Batchelor. Yes; they were two to three deep across here [marking].
Mr. Griffin. Were there police officers in there also?
Chief Batchelor. Yes; there was police officers intermingling all along here.
Mr. Griffin. Had you given any instructions to the police officers up to this point as to how they should stand in relationship, where they should be facing?
Chief Batchelor. No, sir.
Mr. Griffin. Now after talking with Chief Stevenson, what next happened?
Chief Batchelor. Almost immediately the car containing Lieutenant Pierce and I believe Sergeant Maxey pulled out of here, and these people had to step back, and they pulled out, and the detective cars were pulled here in on the ramp and backed into position.
Mr. Griffin. Chief, at this point, just before Oswald was brought down, were there any automobiles in the portion of the garage which would be the north half of the garage, do you recall?
Chief Batchelor. As I recall it, there were one or two vehicles parked back in here, police vehicles.
