Chief Curry. No, sir; I don’t.
Mr. Hubert. As I recall it, at that time it was not yet determined who was going to move him, is that correct?
Chief Curry. That’s right.
Mr. Hubert. In the conversation with Decker, or during that conversation, it was decided that it would be your responsibility to move him, is that correct?
Chief Curry. As I recall the conversation, I told Sheriff Decker that we were ready for him to have the prisoner, that you can come after him when you want to.
And at that time he said, “I thought you were going to bring him to me.”
And I said, “Well, either way you want it.” I said, “If you want us to bring him, we will bring him to you.” This is not an unusual procedure at all.
Mr. Hubert. So it was after that then, and it could not have been before that, that any plans of your own began to take shape?
Chief Curry. Security of the basement could; yes, because regardless of who took the man, the basement had to be secured. The particular route that would be followed would not be decided upon until that time, but this is no problem.
We knew we had to go west on Main Street or Elm Street to get to the county jail, but we did, after it was decided that we would transfer him, make that plan to place more men on the Elm Street route to be sure that the convoy that would be en route would not in any way be hindered.
