November 26, 1963
Mr. J. E. Curry,
Chief of Police.
Subject:
Assignment of Officer
B. G. Patterson #1553,
on Sunday, November 24, 1963.
Sir:
Approximately 9:00 A.M., November 24, 1963, I received instructions to report
to Station 511 for assignment. I arrived at 511 at approximately 9:10 A.M.,
and was told by Lieutenant Pierce to report to Sergeant Dean in the basement.
Sergeant Dean gave me my assignment which was the south ramp exit on Commerce
Street. My orders were not to let anyone in the basement except members of
Press and Police with proper identification. Sergeant Dean said I would have
another officer to assist me as soon as they completed a search of the basement
Officer L. E. Jez came up the ramp to Commerce Street Exit to assist me at
approximately 9:45 A.M.. There were also about three or four reserve officers
at my location. Officer Jez went across Commerce Street with several other
officers to search a building, then returned to his assignment. At 11:00
am, Lieutenant Piorce said the subject would be moved in an armored car and
for me to guard the right side as it was backed down the Ramp. The car arrived
at about 11:10 A.M., and was backed into the opening of the Ramp. No unauthorized
person entered the basement during this time. I remained at my assignment on
the right side of the car.
A few minutes later I heard noise in the basement. I saw someone walking
across the top of a car. A little later I heard a siren and saw the ambulance
pull into the Main Street Ramp enterance. Someone said to move the Armored
car out of the way of the ambulance, so I got in and told the driver to move
it to the south side of Commerce Street. The ambulance came out of the base-
ment and I returned to my assignment on the ramp until relieved by Sergeant
Dean.
Respectfully submitted,
