Pate #1183\nSunday, November 24, 1963\nSir:\nOn Sunday, November 24, 1963 at approximately 9:00 A.M. I was told\nto report to the Patrol Captain's office along with several other\nofficers.\nWe stayed in the Captain's office until approximately 9:45 A.M. when\nCaptain Talbert advised us to report to the basement. When we got to\nthe basement, Captain Talbert gave me the keys to his car and told me\nto pull the car out of the parking space and put it in a position to\ndrive out.\nI stayed with the Captain's car until approximately 10:45 A.M. when\nCaptain Talbert came and told me to park the car back in a parking\nspace and take a position at the base of the ramp leading out to\nCommerce Street.\nHe ordered me to watch the armored car when it backed down the ramp\nand not let it hit the over head.\nAfter the armored car arrived and backed into the Commerce entrance,\nCaptain Talbert ordered me to take a post at the front of the ramp\nleading out to Commerce Street and not let anyone onto the ramp when\nthey carried the prisoner to the armored car.\nI called Officer L. C. Taylor, #1430 and asked him to stand on the side\nnext to the building and help me keep everyone off the ramp.\nI was at this post when the prisoner was shot.\nWhen I heard the shot I started toward the scene and then someone hollered\nnot to let anyone out of the basement. I then went to the back of the\nbasement where I could cover the elevators leading to the new city hall.\nRespectfully submitted,\nD.J. Pate\nD. L. Pate\nPatrolman #1183\nPatrol Division\nDLP/ch\nhistory\n81"
