Mr. Hubert. And that would have been about 9:30, or a quarter of 10:00?
Mr. Fuqua. About 9:30, something like that.
Mr. Hubert. What happened after that?
Mr. Fuqua. We all were watching the action that was going on out on Commerce Street side and there was a lot of people standing out on the sidewalk with a—those officers were trying to keep them on the far side of the street, on the south side of the street rather than the north side, and when anybody would pass along there to try to maybe enter the building, they would ask them for some type—would appear to me that they would ask—were asking for some type of credentials or something.
Mr. Hubert. How long did you stay there watching them?
Mr. Fuqua. I guess must have been stayed there—seemed like to me 30 minutes or more stayed there watching them.
Mr. Hubert. Did you leave?
Mr. Fuqua. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Where did you go?
Mr. Fuqua. Riggs and I left together and said, “Let’s see if we can’t go down and watch it on television,” see, so, we went out to the alleyway onto Main Street and walked back, came up the street and went around there by the ramp there, and came on around and came in from the Harwood side, and went down through the basement to the locker room to watch it on television. There was one fellow down there, he said that he didn’t think it would be on television, probably reruns would be on television, so, we came back up, and just about the time we came back up into the basement, that is—I guess that is when we heard the shot and the scrambling. We went on, and we went into the records building, which is right down from the jail office there.
