Mr. Hubert. The elevator would be the only way to get up there?
Mr. Curry. The stairway, they could get up the stairway. The officers were so located that had someone come up the stairway they would have seen them too.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, the officers checking the elevator could also check the staircase?
Mr. Curry. That's right.
Mr. Hubert. Do you know whether any instructions had been given to those officers?
Mr. Curry. I don't know of my knowledge, but I observed them checking the people who came in.
Mr. Hubert. Whose responsibility would it have been to post those officers for the purpose of checking there?
Mr. Curry. Usually the captain on duty in that building—that would have been Captain Talbert, I believe, but it could have been someone else. Had they observed the need for it, they could have issued orders to get someone else.
Mr. Hubert. Obviously, someone must have posted two men there?
Mr. Curry. Yes.
