Mr. GRIFFIN. You walk off of the sidewalk on Commerce Street----

Mr. ARNETT. And go down in the basement.

Mr. GRIFFIN. And go down in the basement, you get down there in the

basement and there is a door that goes into the hallway that runs up to

the records room?

Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, there are two other doors in that area. One of them

is, if I am not mistaken, off to the right, as you face the hallway,

and that goes into the engine room; and there is another area--door,

rather, sort of at your back, as you look down that hallway, and that

goes down in the subbasement. Were you aware of that?

Mr. ARNETT. No.

Mr. GRIFFIN. So you would have no recollection of whether any of the TV

wires were strung any place except through the hallway to the records

room?

Mr. ARNETT. No; I sure wouldn't.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Okay. Now, when you entered there, where did you go--and

got inside the building?

Mr. ARNETT. I saw Lieutenant Wiggins, and he asked me if I could

replace one of his regular men that was out there behind the TV cameras

that--in other words, this is the basement [indicating].

Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, I think I can help you out here. Here is a diagram

of the basement, and here is the jail office and here is the parking

area, here is the ramp from Main Street, here is the ramp going up to

Commerce Street [indicating].

Mr. ARNETT. We have got it turned right around to me.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, whichever way is easiest for you. All right. Now,

this is coming down from Main. That's Main [indicating].

Mr. ARNETT. This is Commerce going out?

Mr. GRIFFIN. That's right.

Mr. ARNETT. All right. The TV cameras were set up right in here. They

wanted to keep this open here. They didn't want any cars parking in

here [indicating].

Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me draw two TV cameras; is that about where they were

placed, where I have got them there [indicating]?

Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.
