(Testimony of Theodore Jackson)

Mr. Jackson.
The office door.
Mr. Hubert.
Are there any chains or anything to keep a person from driving right on in so that before anyone comes on duty any person can drive in and leave his car?
Mr. Jackson.
Drive in and leave it.
Mr. Hubert.
And if they depart before one of the attendants comes, well, then, they don't pay anything?
Mr. Jackson.
They pay it When they get back. I put a ticket on the car.
Mr. Hubert.
No, you misunderstood me. If they leave before you get there, then, of course, you----
Mr. Jackson.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
There would be no payment, but if you find a car there wren you get there----
Mr. Jackson.
If it is not monthly.
Mr. Hubert.
Someone that pays by the month and those cars you would recognize, or have some sort of a seal on them to indicate that they pay by the month?
Mr. Jackson.
Yes, I know.
Mr. Hubertt.
You know the cars?
Mr. Jackson.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Mr. Ruby did not park by the month there?
Mr. Jackson.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
When you came up and saw this car did you put a ticket on it?
Mr. Jackson.
I put a ticket on it.
Mr. Hubert.
Were there any other cars parked in the lot?
Mr. Jackson.
Yes, sir; about, oh, I guess about six--about six more besides his, five or six more, I disremember.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, and you put a ticket on the car, did you notice whether the car was open, or closed?
Mr. Jackson.
No, sir; I didn't. I Just looked at the car and the key was gone. The keys wasn't in the switch, and I Just got a ticket, just stamped the ticket and put it on the windshield.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there a dog in the car?
Mr. Jackson.
Yes, sir; I think so. It was--yes, it was a dog in the car.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there any window open so that the dog could get some air?
Mr. Jackson.
I never looked whether there was or not.
Mr. Hubert.
Did that seem-strange to you that there somebody had a dog in the parked automobile?
Mr. Jackson.
Well, it did, two detectives came down, and they started searching the car, but they were looking for a key.
Mr. Hubert.
Were they able to open the door of the car?
Mr. Jackson.
I don't think the car was locked up, because they came down, well, they wasn't--it couldn't have been locked up, because they were looking for the key to the switch, because they wanted to take the car to the pound.
Mr. Hubert.
Before we get to that, how long after you got on duty and put the ticket on Mr. Ruby's car, did the detectives arrive?
Mr. Jackson.
Oh, about an hour or so, I guess. I believe about an hour or so.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, did they have any difficulty in opening the doors of the car?
Mr. Jackson.
I never even noticed them until they was out there to the car. I was listening to the radio about it.
Mr. Hubert.
What did you say with reference to the detectives, what they were doing?
Mr. Jackson.
They were searching--they searched the car.
Mr. Hubert.
The doors were open by the time you saw it?
Mr. Jackson.
They was searching the car.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, now, answer my question, were the doors open or do you remember?
Mr. Jackson.
When I seen them they were searching they must have been open.
Mr. Hubert.
When you say "searching," do you mean they were searching the back?
Mr. Jackson.
Looking for a key. They said they were looking for a key.
