Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me state this again. Even though the door would be
locked from the garage side, that from the stairway side it would be
unlocked; were you aware of that?
Mr. DEAN. I believe we asked the maintenance man about this, and I
believe he locked it so as it couldn't be unlocked from either side
unless they had a key. I believe Sergeant Putnam called this to the
maintenance man's attention, and I recall being there at the time they
were discussing it, and I think at that time the maintenance man locked
the door so it couldn't be unlocked from either side other than with a
key.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall the name of this maintenance man?
Mr. DEAN. No, sir; I don't know. I didn't know his name to start with.
However, I did know he was the maintenance man, by sight.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When did you get ahold of this maintenance man?
Mr. DEAN. Sergeant Putnam, I believe, had gotten--or had thought about
this and asked him, or he had gotten in touch with him some way.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was this at the same time you had the 13 men in the garage
searching, or at some later time?
Mr. DEAN. This was during the search.
