Mr. Hubert. What did he say to you?
Mr. Hodge. He stuck out his hand and I took his hand and shook hands with him.
Mr. Hubert. And then what was said?
Mr. Hodge. He said, “What are you doing up here?”
Mr. Hubert. He asked you that?
Mr. Hodge. The very words, and I said, “They’ve got me arrested”—just like that.
Mr. Hubert. You said, “They’ve got me arrested”?
Mr. Hodge. Yes; and I felt that that would be all of it—I didn’t want to tell him why or go into any details as to what I was doing up there because it wasn’t none of his business, and he said, “You’re kidding. You fellows don’t have him arrested, do you?”
Mr. Hubert. Who did he say that to?
Mr. Hodge. To the two detectives. He said, “You fellows don’t have Hodge arrested, do you?” And, they just laughed—they didn’t answer back, and he turned around to me and he said, “What do you know about it?” And I said, “It’s a long story.” By that time he was at the main floor, so he gets off on the main floor and we go on to the basement and move my car and these two detectives escort me back up to Captain Fritz’ office. We went back in there, waded back through these TV cameras back into his office, and Mr. Baker—I didn’t even know it was Baker until today, and he called me and told me, he said, “Mr. Hodge, I’m the man that took you from Captain Fritz’ office up to the fourth floor and showed you the guns”, and when I looked at them, I said, “I’d never seen those guns before,” and so that was all of it and I left.
