Mr. Leavelle. Just came off the Main Street ramp and parked across the opening and when he saw him pull in, gave me the high sign and we took Ruby and told him, I said, “I don’t want to have to push you or shove you. I want you to move.” Of course, Ruby was scared, so, he almost outran me to the car. He ran and got in the back seat of the car with Graves, who was already in the back seat, and Montgomery was driving and Mr. Beck, Dhority, and Brown got to the other car and followed us. We proceeded directly to the county jail.
Mr. Hubert. Up Commerce?
Mr. Leavelle. We went up Commerce to the expressway and cut back on the expressway to Main Street, and came down Main Street to Houston Street where the jail is located, and around the corner on Houston Street, to the entrance of the county jail.
Mr. Hubert. Did you have any trouble with the traffic going down Main Street?
Mr. Leavelle. We caught every light green going down. Didn’t have to stop.
Mr. Hubert. Did you have the sirens going?
Mr. Leavelle. No, we did not. We drove through there at a good little step faster than normal, but so happened we caught every light. I don’t think we even missed a light. When we reached the jail, the officers in the car behind us bailed out and covered the entrance to the jail, and we were—had him inside in a matter of 20 seconds, from the time the car stopped.
Mr. Hubert. All right, sir. Is there anything else you want to add about anything we have talked about?
Mr. Leavelle. I can’t think of anything else that would be pertinent to it.
Mr. Hubert. All right. Thank you. One more thing on this. You have not been previously interviewed by me, or any other members of the Commission’s staff, have you, sir?
