Captain JONES. When I got off the elevator, came out and left the
elevator--all right, now, someone brought it to my attention that
photographers and news media were in this part of the jail.
Mr. HUBERT. In the jail?
Captain JONES. Jail office, outside.
Mr. HUBERT. Outside of the desks?
Captain JONES. Outside the booking area, outside of the desk part of
the jail office, and newsmen all out in here [indicating].
Mr. HUBERT. When you say "here," you are pointing to the jail area?
Captain JONES. The corridor they have from the driveway from the
basement jail office.
Mr. HUBERT. On the east side of the swinging doors?
Captain JONES. On the east side of the swinging doors; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, what did you do?
Captain JONES. I did not know the instructions given to the other
officers down there prior to that. Nothing. So, immediately after
seeing them--I saw Chief Batchelor and Chief Stevenson come out the
swinging doors into the area, and Batchelor, being the highest ranking
officer present, I pointed these people out to him, and----
Mr. HUBERT. That is to say, in the jail office?
Captain JONES. In the jail office--were they supposed to be in there,
and wouldn't it be better, if we could get those people out of the jail
office, that it would be easier to watch the prisoner, and so, I don't
know the exact words, I used, and they walked around and looked around,
and then agreed that it would be. So, he and I, and at least one other
officer, and I don't know who he was, but at least one more removed
everyone out of the outer part of the jail office to just outside the
swinging doors coming from the basement of the city hall going east.
