Mr. Hubert. He was in front of the people that I have marked here in "area B," and "area A"?
Mr. Combest. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Well, other than the detective, how many people do you suppose were in that "area A," right back of the curving line marked "1" to "2"?
Mr. Combest. It would be an estimate on it at this time. I don't recall. There were several. I would say 15, at least.
Mr. Hubert. Do you think they were standing shoulder to shoulder?
Mr. Combest. Yes; it was pretty crowded all the way around.
Mr. Hubert. That would make about what, two or three ranks of people?
Mr. Combest. I don't recall exactly. I know there was a very large crowd in the basement that day.
Mr. Hubert. You are talking about the whole basement?
Mr. Combest. Yes, sir.
