(Testimony of G. E. Worley)

Mr. Griffin.
You know sometimes we have a visual image, and sometimes there is something that happened or for some reason that you know you watched this. Is there anything
Mr. Worley.
Well, there was people that they brought in a bunch of reserve officers in the basement from the detail room, and they came out in here and they started back in here.
Mr. Griffin.
You are now sort of indicating back in the area toward Main Street underneath the sidewalk?
Mr. Worley.
Arid he searched all these cars back in here to see that, I guess, that there was nobody in there. They didn't tell me, but they were searching back in here, and he just covered .this back all the way to the ramp here. Then they went right on around and covered the whole parking area down in the basement back to me.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Now, those people were sort of moving in a group?
Mr. Worley.
Right.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, when this regular sergeant got over to the doorway, was that group with him ?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Or was he alone?
Mr. Worley.
No. I am almost positive that he was over here while they were searching back over here, and he was by himself.
Mr. Griffin.
I see. Now, do you recall this particular officer going to the service elevator ?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall if at any time there was somebody in that service elevator?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall seeing any building personnel down in the basement ?
Mr. Worley.
Yes; I do. Porters. And I don't recall how many. I saw some porters and maids, and I am pretty sure that they were on this elevator.
Mr. Griffin.
Service elevator?
Mr. Worley.
Yes; it was standing there with the door open, and somebody told them to go on up in the building, and close that elevator off.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, do you recall when that was in relationship to the search of the basement?
Mr. Worley.
It was before they searched the basement.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall who that officer was that did that?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Would you be able to state whether it was that officer who talked to those maids and porters? Was it the same officer, the same sergeant who also checked this door?
Mr. Worley.
There was none.
Mr. Griffin.
You think you would recognize either one of those officers if you saw them again?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't think so.
Mr. Griffin.
Is there anything that makes you, in your mind, convinced about one sergeant than the other officer who checked the service elevator?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
So, are you able to explain for the record--I am not trying to trip you up or anything--I am trying to probe your recollection here are you able to explain to us how it is that you recall that they were different officers?
Mr. Worley.
No; I am not.
Mr. Griffin.
Different heights?
Mr. Worley.
No; there is nothing that would be maybe I am thinking that they were even the same person, or different people.
Mr. Griffin.
And in other words, your answer is that you just don't know if they were the same ?
Mr. Worley.
I don't know. It could have been the same person or could have been two different people.
Mr. Griffin.
All right, now. Do you recall ever seeing anybody go over
