Mr. Hubert. Was he a white man or Negro?
Mr. Tasker. Yes. When you drive a cab for 2 years and I’ve been in this town since 1923, you learn the policemen.
Mr. Hubert. It was your impression that there was a policeman in plainclothes was sent or who came to stand with the man—the policeman in uniform?
Mr. Tasker. Well—and to assist him with that traffic and that crowd, and when the shooting happened, then they called in additional squad cars to come there and help too.
Mr. Hubert. That plainclothes policeman was there with the uniformed policeman helping him for how long before the shooting?
Mr. Tasker. For probably 15 or 10 or 20 minutes—something like that.
Mr. Hubert. You don’t know his name at all?
Mr. Tasker. No—I don’t even know the policeman’s name on that door that day. I’d know him if I seen him.
Mr. Hubert. You think you would know the plainclothes policeman if you saw him?
Mr. Tasker. Well, that, I couldn’t say.
