Mr. Hubert. Now, about a minute or so before that, did a car come out of that place?
Mr. Tasker. I believe it did, sir; and I won’t swear it to be the truth, but I believe it did, because that policeman had gotten away from that opening for some reason, and he was sort of crouched down so he could see under the curvature of the basement, you know? You know what I’m trying to explain to you? He couldn’t stand up straight and see into the basement—you have to crouch down to see what those people were doing down there—he crouched down and pulled his pistol, when he heard that fire.
Mr. Hubert. No; I was thinking about that automobile coming out of there just before?
Mr. Tasker. Well, I believe that’s where that automobile come up there because they got him away from that door, you see.
Mr. Hubert. You mean—before the shot?
Mr. Tasker. Well, he got away from that door for some reason—just before that happened.
Mr. Hubert. Just before the shot?
Mr. Tasker. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Did you see him get away from the door?
Mr. Tasker. Oh, he was just there keeping people back.
