Graeme Craddock Testimony on Waco Fire

“ The
11 first thing you hear regarding fuel or fire is Pablo
12 Cohen saying, Don't pour it -- well, I don't want to
13 put words in your mouth.
14 The first thing you hear regarding fuel
10:03 15 or fire is a statement by Pablo Cohen; is that correct?
16 MR. TOUHEY: Objection to form.
17 Q. (BY MR. PHILLIPS) Well, let me ask the
18 question this way: What's the first statement you hear
19 when you're in the chapel about fuel or fire?
10:03 20 A. I think he said, Wait. Wait. Don't pour it
21 inside. Pour it outside.
22 Q. Okay. And who's saying this?
23 A. Pablo. ”

19 him to wet the rag.
09:51 20 Across any of the central -- or on, on
21 the other side of the chapel was Pablo Cohen; and he'd
22 just finished screaming out, "Wait. Wait" telling
23 this other guy not to pour all the fuel inside, poor it
24 outside. There was a conversation he, he then had with
09:52 25 whoever was pouring this fuel. Then --
p. 255
09:52 1 Q. All right. You, you described people going
2 into the gym, and, and then they would exit the gym to
3 escape gassing from the gym area; is that correct? ”

“ And, and why were you concerned about
21 that?
22 A. Well, if the vehicle came in and ran over the
23 fuel, then it would spill fuel everywhere, which would
24 be a, a fire hazard, plus the fact that I think fuel
09:53 25 was a valuable commodity, not that I -- I don't know if
p. 256
09:53 1 we actually used some of that Coleman fuel, or whatever
2 the fuel was. I -- the main fuel that I took -- looked
3 after was the fuel for the diesel generator, and that
4 was in the machine shop.
09:53 5 Q. Did anyone -- who was assisting you in moving
6 the fuel?
7 A. There was, I think, Pablo Cohen. ”

“ I'm not exactly
10:07 15 certain the exact words that Pablo used or the exchange
16 that occurred, but I do recall something -- there was
17 some con -- conversation between Pablo and Mark Wendel,
18 and the effect of that conversation was simply to wait
19 and to find out.
10:07 20 Q. Well, would you agree that your memory at the
21 time of your grand jury testimony was, was, regarding
22 this conversation, was better than it is today?
23 A. I'd say so, yes.

p. 265
10:07 1 last question. ”

“ This would have been after the last penetration
14 when the vehicle came into the building where its boom
09:59 15 came to the end of the bleachers. After I heard Pablo
16 scream about not pouring fuel inside, maybe about a
17 minute after that, I heard a voice from -- coming from
18 upstairs direction through the ceiling of the chapel
19 back -- well, actually it would have been the front
09:59 20 part of the -- towards the front part of the building,
21 that is, which is the back part of the chapel.
22 Q. This is the area --
23 A. Yeah.
24 Q. -- over the seating?
10:00 25 A. Yes. ”
