Mr. Leavelle. Other than to Mr. Beck and Brown, Mr. Clardy that was there—Mr. Graves rather. They probably heard me make the suggestion. In fact, Mr. Beck made the suggestion at the same time that we could—I know that he was there, because he made the suggestion at the time, same time, said well, that we could either—instead of going out the Commerce Street, in front of all the people lined up, go out the basement in the opposite direction.
Mr. Hubert. You mean even if you are going to use the basement, use the Main Street instead of Commerce Street?
Mr. Leavelle. That’s right; and he made that suggestion. Of course, Chief Curry had already given his word to the newsmen that they would transfer him and let them get the pictures, and I have just assumed since that the reason that the car wasn’t in position like it was supposed to be was so that they could get the pictures, and the reason for not holding to the schedule previously outlined.
Mr. Hubert. Have you spoken to the chief about that since?
Mr. Leavelle. No; I have not.
Mr. Hubert. Have you spoken to anybody about it, sir?
Mr. Leavelle. No; I haven’t spoke to anyone other than possibly just some of the officers making a remark, “If he had used my suggestion, that we would probably have made it.”
Mr. Hubert. You said that you had reported making that suggestion in one of the reports that you made?
Mr. Leavelle. Yes; I think it is in this one right here, I believe.
Mr. Hubert. Do you have a copy of that?
