Mr. Hubert. In other words, it was after you got the letter from Mr. Rankin asking you to appear here today that it occurred to you that you ought to have the names of those men so that you could tell me those names if I asked you about it; is that correct?
Mr. Hodge. That’s correct.
Mr. Hubert. And that’s when you called Captain Fritz just yesterday, Thursday, June the 25th?
Mr. Hodge. That’s right and he told me, he said, “I’ll tell you, I’ve got a bunch that works days and nights and I’ll have to question all of them, but I’ll find out which one it was.”
Mr. Hubert. Do you think you could recognize those men if you saw them?
Mr. Hodge. You know, I thought it was Potts and Baker, but they say Potts works burglary and theft, but they could have had some of the burglary and theft men over there.
Mr. Hubert. Baker is the one that took you up on the fourth floor?
Mr. Hodge. Yes; that’s what he verified today.
Mr. Hubert. But Baker was not one of the men who took you downstairs?
Mr. Hodge. I wouldn’t swear to it—of course, they may not want to come forth and tell it, you see, but there’s nothing to hide, and if it will help, I think that they should do it.
