Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did those men then take police vehicles and go to
their appointed spots?
Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir. Immediately to their squad cars that had been
parked outside and then--they reported into the basement to me for
these assignments, they went immediately to these assignments, and
these assignments were made at various intersections along the proposed
route that Oswald would be transferred.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, was Brock in the basement at the time that you gave
that assignment?
Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir. However, he was still at the elevators then.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Patterson and Vaughn?
Mr. DEAN. They were at their stations.
Mr. GRIFFIN. After you made those assignments, what did you do?
Mr. DEAN. I moved back to the area, when you come out of the jail
office, to the ramp, and this is when Lieutenant Pierce came up to me
and appeared to be in a hurry--well now, the armored car had already
backed into the ramp.
