Mr. Hubert. Was any question raised as to whether the truck had sufficient power to climb up that ramp if it went all the way down?
Mr. Hall. Oh, no; it is a heavy Chevrolet truck. Strictly a matter of height.
Mr. Hubert. How much space was there between the right-hand side of your truck and the wall on the Harwood Street side of the Commerce entrance?
Mr. Hall. Just enough for one man to pass.
Mr. Hubert. That would be how much, a foot, or 2 feet?
Mr. Hall. Approximately 2 feet, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Now were there any police guards that you saw on either side of your truck during the time it was parked?
Mr. Hall. Sitting in the driver’s seat looking out the left door to the rear, I could observe a police guard beyond the rear of the truck on the left side. I assumed there were police guards on the right side also, even though from my vantage point I couldn’t see him.
Mr. Hubert. But you did see a police guard to your left?
Mr. Hall. Yes, sir.
