Mr. Hubert. It would be the east.
Mr. Waldo. Yes—but on the west side is the entrance to the building and the jail elevators and so on, and on the east side is a parking—a large submerged parking area, and it was 8 to 10 minutes after I had gotten downstairs when they began what appeared to be at first a quite confused movement—several detectives, plainclothes officers got into police cars parked down there and started to move them, with what appeared, and in fact I commented on this to a colleague, an unnecessary amount of jerking movement, lack of coordination so that one almost ran into the other and they were backing and filling and nobody could figure what they were doing with them, and meanwhile Butler, I believe it was, or someone was telling us all to get back out of the way, and finally they maneuvered these three cars into place one behind the other back of the armored vehicle.
Mr. Hubert. How much time before the shooting did they back the armored car into the Commerce Street entrance?
Mr. Waldo. Oh, that would have been—let’s see—I arrived over there about 9:30–10 or shortly thereafter it was that the car was brought in.
Mr. Hubert. And then you went in at Butler’s suggestion or invitation about 25 minutes prior to the shooting?
Mr. Waldo. That’s correct.
Mr. Hubert. And then the cars were moved in behind the armored car about 10 minutes before the shooting?
Mr. Waldo. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Did you see a car go out the Main Street entrance around that time?
Mr. Waldo. No, sir; I did not. It could have happened and I didn’t see it, but I certainly didn’t.
