(Testimony of )

Mr. Griffin.
Okay. Where you Just placed an "X"? I am going to mark this, if I can, mark this "Dallas, Tex. Detective T. D. McMillon." That is [spelling] M-i-l-l-o-n, right?
Mr. Mcmillon.
Right.
Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Mcmillon.
Down Main.
Mr. Griffin.
And did you--how did you go, in the Main Street ramp?
Mr. Mcmillon.
No. I probably took the first floor elevator, elevator, first floor. I usually do. That particular day, I recall I walked down this ramp, but I don't recall whether I took the steps and went up to the first floor and went up the elevator. That is the way I usually go in.
Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Mcmillon.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
And then, when you arrived, were there any people congregated around the Main Street ramp?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Mr. Mcmillon.
I haven't seen Jack's car.
Mr. Griffin.
What did you do when you got up to the auto theft bureau?
Mr. Mcmillon.
I don't know. Probably the first thing I did, probably take my coat off and go get a cup of coffee, bring it back out of the machine. That is my normal ha,bit or routine.
Mr. Griffin.
Is there a machine up on the third floor?
Mr.McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Mcmillon.
No. There is a little lounge that is accessible to the public.
Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Mcmillon.
Not normally, but you may occasionally see some in there.
Mr. Griffin.
Where do the police officers normally go?
Mr. Mcmillon.
Martin's or the Majestic. Of course, Martin's wouldn't be open on Sunday, I don't think. Wherever you can go. You might possibly go to the locker room, if you wanted to. There is a coffee machine down there.
Mr. Griffin.
Uh-huh. Do you remember what you did up until the time that you were asked to go down into the basement?
Mr. Mcmillon.
I tried to work on some of my cases, the best I could. I don't remember whether I was trying to contact some complainants by phone or whether I had checked some prisoners out of the jail, was working out on prisoners, exactly what I was doing. I know I was working in the office when Lieutenant Smart came through and said, "Don't anybody leave."
