Mr. Hubert. Had you been ordered in?
Sergeant Maxey. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. How did you come to get there then?
Sergeant Maxey. I had some cards to be taken to 511, where there were requests for off-duty employment, overtime work and I thought perhaps I might be able to assist them. I knew they were going to need all the help they could get down there that day.
Mr. Hubert. You had not been ordered down there?
Sergeant Maxey. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. What did you do with your car?
Sergeant Maxey. I parked it on the north end of the garage.
Mr. Hubert. Then what did you do?
Sergeant Maxey. I approached Putnam. They were dispersing some traffic officers or some officers who worked traffic. They weren't in the traffic division, they were patrol officers, and asked him at this time if there was anything I could do, and he said, that if I would wait a few minutes I could probably go hop in Sergeant Dean's station wagon. I—he didn't elaborate, and I stayed there in the basement there for a few minutes. I don't know exactly how long and Lieutenant Pierce came down and Sergeant Putnam spoke to me, and said, "Why don't you go with us?" And I approached Lieutenant Pierce's car and he was in this—he was in his car at this time and asked him if he wanted me to go with him and he said, "Yes."
