Mr. McMillon. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Had you talked to Dean between the time he left you and that afternoon, the time you made that statement?
Mr. McMillon. I don’t recall that I had, but I don’t believe that I did.
Mr. Griffin. Did you know by the time you made this statement that Dean had reported to somebody in the police department that he saw the man come down the——
Mr. McMillon. No; I didn’t know that at that time. I didn’t know that Dean had allegedly said anything of that stuff then. People had told me, after I had got off duty, this, that and the other. I heard somewhere that Dean had been on an interview somewhere on television or something, and that is as much as I knew. I don’t know. I don’t believe that this article was out at the time. It possibly may have been. I think this article came out a week or two later where Dean is supposed to have said that he seen him. I believe it was some time later after this, a week or so later after this.
Mr. Griffin. Did you talk with either Archer or Clardy or anybody else in the police department about this statement that Ruby made to you between the time that Ruby made it and the time you gave that interview with the FBI?
Mr. McMillon. I don’t recall what the conversation was. Archer, Clardy, and several more of us discussed the case, but Captain Nichols, about the time we got in from the jail about 3:30, when we started writing that report over there——
Mr. Griffin. Yes, sir.
Mr. McMillon. Captain Nichols’ instructions were for each of us to write what we had been doing.
Mr. Griffin. Uh-huh.
