Mr. Hubert. The armored car.
Chief Batchelor. I was standing in the basement after I left the truck, and went down to the foot of the ramp. There was a time that Chief Stevenson came down and whispered to me that they had a change of plans and that they were going to use the truck as a decoy, and that Oswald was to be taken in an automobile with detectives.
Mr. Hubert. You did not go back up to the third floor then between the time?
Chief Batchelor. Not after that truck got to the basement.
Mr. Hubert. Did you leave the basement area at all after the truck backed in?
Chief Batchelor. No, sir; I don’t recall that I did.
Mr. Hubert. Where were you then, just around in there?
Chief Batchelor. Around in there.
Mr. Hubert. And Stevenson told you about the change after you had left the truck. About how much time, roughly, before the shooting?
Chief Batchelor. Oh, just a very short time. From the time that he told me that they had changed their plans and the time the shooting happened couldn’t have been over 10 or 15 minutes at the most.
