00:00:01.240 - 00:00:14.670

I secured a shotgun from one of our units. It was on the street on Advised him again to relay via radio to the office Just precisely what we had. And, uh, advising him again to close off the area. I took the shotgun then and I came

00:00:14.670 - 00:00:30.690

up through here and I went over this railing here, Theun, assuming this was one of the exits that they would use. And I was here maybe three or four minutes and the whole group of hostages and suspects, with the exception of one. But after this door

00:00:30.690 - 00:00:49.960

here on, they had anywhere there. Uhh. Okay. In the group, I would say there were six or seven something of this nature. Uh, they do that on I couldn't use a weapon because the judge and, uh, everybody was mixed up in the group. And as they

00:00:49.960 - 00:01:04.000

got out here, then this other, uh, pushy here. Light haired one came out. They had the automatic weapon. It was a car being, er type weapon on. He came out about this time. The one that had the gun on Judge Haley turned around and saw May

00:01:04.150 - 00:01:14.730

on. He says, Kill that mother, Just kill him, kill him, kill him. And he came out this door and he put the gun right on me, and we were standing there facing each other, and he's still in line with this group. Mhm. And he said, I'm

00:01:14.730 - 00:01:28.420

gonna kill you on De. So I dropped down behind here on, uh, I had just had my head sticking over the top here on he says, Come out. He said, I'm gonna kill you on Well, hey says I want the gun. He said, Bring me the

00:01:28.420 - 00:01:41.780

gun. So I came over the rail, but I got up to him and he said, Lay it at my feet on I laid the gun at his feet and, uh, he said, No, I'm gonna kill U s. So I had my hands up. I started back

00:01:41.780 - 00:01:58.290

away. I got about here and then something distracted them in this area over here on the ones who were holding the hostages started yelling, but I couldn't make out really what it was. I was more interested in my position at the time on uh So this

00:01:58.290 - 00:02:38.440

guy momentarily turned to back to this other group that was to his left, and I started backing up with my hands up, and I got down here where I could get in between these cars. Very good. Thanks for waiting. Thanks for being here. Okay. Uh huh.

00:02:38.940 - 00:03:10.580

In the real world and hold it. Hit the floor And looking to the spectator side of the courtroom saw a tall, light complected Negro with bushy hair planning a handgun at the back of the neck of Lieutenant Dixon of Sand Clinton Correctional Force. Uh, everybody hit

00:03:10.590 - 00:03:36.450

the floor except some of the ladies. Your oars. Okay, of a stranger came forward and pass the handgun to the defendant. McLean, who put the gun on Judge Haley. The intervener withdrew from the bag. A large bag on automatic rifle covered all the correction of personnel

00:03:36.840 - 00:03:57.160

at gunpoint. They were forced to unshackle the witness, McGee, who had been on the witness stand. McGee was then armed, too. And I think it was McGee who was sent to the holding cell too. Liberate the three remaining witnesses who were under guard in the holding

00:03:57.160 - 00:04:26.050

cell. That's during this time. Uh, Judge Haley called sheriff Montana's by phone, and the defendant McLean was at his side. One of the telephone call was being made, the judge said. WAY have four dangerous men in the courtroom fully armed, and they have the courtroom under

00:04:26.050 - 00:04:54.480

subjection. We do not want any fear in any interference here at this time. And although that we do not jeopardize any lives, there's still a great many loose ends and a great deal of speculation about what happened here. Investigators will now try to determine if there

00:04:54.480 - 00:05:15.970

was a conspiracy of some kind that involved perhaps more persons than those who actually participated in the bloody event. Investigators say militant organizations such as the Black Panther Party will be high on the list of inquiry. The suspect that was on the stand got up, walked

00:05:15.970 - 00:05:32.280

over to one of the sanguine guards who by this time we're all lying on the ground. Uh, there were 55 guards in the room, uh, told one of them to get up. Uh, I think is the suspect's name was McKenna. The one it was testifying was

00:05:32.280 - 00:05:47.100

McKenna. Hey said, uh, you've held me in San Quentin for X number of years. I was unjustly accused. Uh, now, for the love of God, take these cuffs off of me. I want to be a free man. There was discussion about taking the two older women

00:05:47.470 - 00:06:06.170

myself and the baby that was in the courtroom. They abducted a young couple walking by outside with a small child about 18 months old on, uh, McLean and, uh, kept saying, leave the bailiff alone. He's all right. Uh, right. They started using piano wire on some

00:06:06.170 - 00:06:27.020

of the people. I don't know how many. Uh, Judge told him everything would be all right. They call the sheriff, talk to the sheriff called judge, called the sheriff. Talk to the sheriff. Right on. McLean got on the, uh, got on the phone and told the

00:06:27.020 - 00:07:02.100

sheriff to call off his dogs. Pigs off, or they were gonna kill everybody in the courtroom. They had an automatic weapon, and he just opened up and he could listen to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Very funny. Anyway. Hey, good luck. That's

00:07:02.100 - 00:07:52.690

right. I think we have the water out. Given their control, you get so much better with one changes over there. What we want after posting their, uh, Bob? Yes. I'll be going to get a full story.

00:07:52.700 - 00:08:50.750

Yeah, Yeah, e I guess that's gonna be a $64 dollars in Pakistan. Oh, yeah? Do you know what I mean by Thank you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. She get a phone call. All right? Right. Yeah.
