Mr. Griffin. Did you talk with Chief Curry after he first spoke to these two newspaper reporters?
Chief Batchelor. You mean with reference to the movement of the prisoner?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Chief Batchelor. He told me that he didn't know exactly when they would move him, but he thought homicide bureau was about through with questioning him, but he knew that Captain Fritz wanted to question him again in the morning, and that after he had questioned him, why, we would move him.
Mr. Griffin. Where did that conversation take place?
Chief Batchelor. In the administrative offices. One thing I think I omitted. From the time that he told these reporters that if they were to come back by 10 o'clock in the morning, he didn't think they would miss anything, he went in and discussed it with Captain Fritz as to how he was progressing with the interrogation and whether or not he thought he would be through with him in the morning.
Mr. Griffin. You mean this was between the time he——
Chief Batchelor. Before he went out and announced it to the rest of the press.
Mr. Griffin. About how much time elapsed, would you say, from the time he talked to the two reporters and the time he made the general announcement?
Chief Batchelor. Oh, I would estimate maybe 30 minutes; no longer.
