Later that afternoon we were all in Atlas' room.  Present at the time
was Atlas, myself, Spivey, Jaggers, Ron Starr, and Dan Kroffat.  I had
been waiting all day for somebody to contact me.  But nothing seemed to
be happening.  I learned later that the WWC office was stonewalling
information on the wrestlers whereabouts.  Atlas stated that we had to
tell somebody.  I then remembered the names of the detectives that the
girl at the desk had given me when she made the call to the hospital
that morning.  Orlando Figueroa, Pedro Clanero, and Hector Quinones.
Atlas talked to one of the detectives on the phone and told him where we
were.  The detectives said that they'd be right over and they were, in
about ten minutes.

They came into the room, asked a few questions, and then transported
Atlas to Headquarters.  Tony left the hotel around 5:00 PM.  He did not
return until 10:00 PM.  I started to get worried about him, but when he
came back he told them that they wanted to talk to me.  Of course, I
agreed.  The station looked like something you'd expect to find in El
Salvador, hot and stinking, with no air conditioning and a big overhead
fan.  I told them what I had seen, and afterwards signed a sworn
deposition as to my testimony.  I could only swear as to what I actually
saw, but I did my part.  As I was leaving, I saw TNT and Miguelito Perez
there.  I didn't ask them any questions and they did not ask me any
either.  So, I don't know what their statements said.  I was told by the
detectives that Jose Gonzalez would be charged with first degree murder
and advised me that when the time for the trial came, I would be
subpoenaed and transported back to PR to testify.  They told me that
airfare and hotel would be arranged for me and that security would be
provided.  That's what they said.  However, that's not what they did.

I was depressed when I left PR and even more so when I got back to
Birmingham.  If you've ever been to Birmingham, you'd know what I mean.
I told my wife in detail everything that had happened.  She told me that
nothing would be done to Jose Gonzalez.  I got mad at her.  How could
something not be done?  I told her to wait and see.  I waited, and I saw
that she was right.

I got two separate subpoenas for the trial.  The first trial date was
postponed.  The second trial was scheduled for January 23-26, 1989.  I
still have my subpoena.  It was issued 1\3\89 but according to the post
date was not mailed until 1\13\89.  That meant that it laid on
somebody's desk for a full 10 days.  Remember the trial was to start on
January 23rd?  I received the subpoena on January 24th.  I had already
heard the verdict by the time I opened the subpoena.  I never heard from
the detectives again, not even to this day.
