Mr. Griffin. Did he state this to you personally, or were you in a group at that time?
Mr. Croy. I was just standing out there on this ramp leading into the basement where the two ramps lead down into the basement, and he stepped out there, and as well as I remember, just made a quick check and pointed out that he needed at least three men at that location.
Mr. Griffin. Well, from the time that you finished doing your clerical work when you first came in, until you all were ultimately stationed at the base of the Main Street ramp, did you have any particular responsibilities?
Mr. Croy. Yes. There were several reserve officers that were coming right directly into the basement, and the first reported to the assembly room to get their assignments or be told what to do.
I would take these men and take them in there and get them mustered in on the roster so we would know they were there and have a record.
I would either tell them where to report, or take them to a certain station and station them there.
Mr. Griffin. All right, do you recall if you were in the basement when Captain Jones was there?
Mr. Croy. No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall if you were in the basement when a group of regular police officers, detectives and so forth came into the basement from the public elevators that go up into the police building, and walked through the swinging door and were given assignments by a regular officer of some sort? Were you there at that time?
Mr. Croy. I don't guess I was; I don't recall it at all.
