Mr. Hubert. As far as from here to that wall—that’s about 7 or 8 feet?

Mr. Tasker. Yes.

Mr. Hubert. Was this policeman having any difficulty with them?

Mr. Tasker. Well, yes, he had a little difficulty now and then. Somebody would try to slip by him and he would hail them and bring them back out.

Mr. Hubert. Did that happen once or more than once?

Mr. Tasker. It happened a few times—I’ve just forgotten just how many.

Mr. Hubert. Did he grab them?

Mr. Tasker. Oh, yes; he just went and got them and brought them back out. He didn’t mistreat them or anything like that.

Mr. Hubert. How would they slip by?

Mr. Tasker. Well, he was probably looking at something on this side and somebody didn’t know he was on guard there and walked down there.
