Mr. Hubert. In other words, you considered it your responsibility to secure the basement, irrespective of who actually moved him, you or the sheriff?

Chief Curry. That is true; yes.

Mr. Hubert. Was consideration ever given to any other route than through the basement?

Chief Curry. Not through the basement?

Mr. Hubert. Yes.

Chief Curry. Not that I recall.

Mr. Hubert. Do you remember visiting the basement with Chief Batchelor and Chief Stevenson?

Chief Curry. I seem to recall that one time we were there together, but as I remember they were in the basement as I drove in coming to work.

Mr. Hubert. That would have been before you called Decker?

Chief Curry. Yes.
