Mr. Hubert. Do you remember any comment that Dean made in Wade’s office?
Mr. Sorrels. The only comment that I can remember that he made is when Mr. Wade asked me if certain things were said by Ruby when I was talking to him in the jail on the morning of November 24, when Dean was there, and I told him no, that that statement was not made in my presence, I did not recall any statement like that. And Dean said, “Well, maybe it was, after you left.” And I said, “Well, if it was—if the statement was made, it would have had to be after I left, because I don’t recall any statement like that.”
Mr. Hubert. Did you ever find out how Wade or Curry or the police found out about what Dean ultimately said?
Mr. Sorrels. Will you read that question again?
Mr. Hubert. I said, did you ever find out how Wade and/or the police found out themselves what Dean ultimately testified to?
Mr. Sorrels. No, I don’t know anything about that—unless it is in the court records down there in his testimony at the trial. Now, whether or not they had talked to him before what his testimony would be, I could not say about that, I don’t know.
Mr. Hubert. Did Wade or anyone else ever ask you to identify the two uniformed officers?
Mr. Sorrels. No.
Mr. Hubert. Did you ever consult with any of your superior officers in your own service in regard to Wade’s request that you testify?
Mr. Sorrels. I told Inspector Kelley that I might get involved in this thing, and he said, “Well, if you are subpenaed you will just have to testify what you know about it.”
