Mr. GRIFFIN. That you completed the search?
Mr. DEAN. Yes. About, somewhere around 9:45, Captain Talbert sent me
a group of regular officers that had been called in off of patrol
district. [Indicating.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, can I help you?
Mr. DEAN. My report [indicating]?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes [indicating].
Mr. DEAN. I didn't have in my original report, I do have in my original
notes in my locker, as to some traffic assignments that I made. This
was about 9:45. These men were sent to me by Captain Talbert. I briefed
them about here in the basement, away from everyone, to let no one know
the route. This is when Captain Talbert advised me that the route would
be to leave the Commerce Street side, go to the expressway, north to
Main [indicating].
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that Pearl Expressway or Central Expressway?
Mr. DEAN. Central Expressway. And then west on Main to the county
courthouse, or the sheriff's office.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me try to refresh your recollection a little bit
here. Up to this point had you heard anything about a proposed route
that would have gone from Central Expressway and turned at Elm Street,
rather than Main Street?
Mr. DEAN. I was thinking it was--I knew that they changed it, after
I made my assignment I had to change them again, because they said
they wasn't going to use it. It was either Main Street that they
weren't going to use, they were going to Commerce--however, I think
you are right. I think originally my assignments were made at the
intersections--not Commerce, but Elm, and then they changed the--they
being Captain Talbert, and told me that they would not use Elm, that
they would use Main Street.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you draw a big circle in this area where you
instructed these men, to show roughly what area the men covered, and
would you put an appropriate note on there as to what happened and what
time?
