Q: I want to talk specifically about this particular incident concerning Officer Larry Minard...just tell me the
truth about the entire situation.
A: It was on a Monday before the bombing.
Q: This would be August 10th?
A: Yes...Poindexter -- I went down to headquarters and Poindexter said he wanted to talk to me and he took
me down the street and told me what he planned on doing...He said he was going to make a bomb and that
he was going to plant it in a house and have somebody call the police up there.
Q: What were you supposed to do at that time, or did he say?
A: He didn't say exactly what I was supposed to do. He told me on that day to be at my cousin, Frank's
house at nine o'clock. Monday -- Monday night. (the 10th). I went over there and Poindexter was there and
said he was going to David Rice's house.
Q: Who went up there?
A: Me and Poindexter.
Q: What happened when you got up there?
A: We went to the house and Poindexter went down in the basement and brought a suitcase up and there
was a case of dynamite there and he took three sticks out and put them in the suitcase and he had a
battery. I didn't watch how he put it together but it was one of those batteries that you have in one of those
things you flash on the street... I didn't watch how he put it together but he said it was all set and he put
paper around it and he shut it and he planned on doing it that night but he didn't. I don't know why.
Q: So the suitcase was left at David's house?
A: Yes.
Q: Did David see this happen?
A: Yes.
Q: He saw the bomb being made?
A: He didn't see it being made. I don't think he knows how he made it.
Q: He knew he was making it?
A: Yes.
Q: How do you know that?
A: David knew there was dynamite there. I am quite sure of that.
Q: Where was the dynamite located?
A: In the basement.
Q: Was the suitcase in the basement?
A: No, it wasn't in the basement. It was upstairs in the bedroom.
Q: Was David there?
A: David was sitting in the living room and I was sitting in the living room, also.
Q: At the time you were in the house, what did David say?
A: David, he didn't' say anything. He left before Poindexter was finished.
Q: How do you know that he knew that Poindexter was putting dynamite in the suitcase?
A: Well, I am not too sure whether he knew or not. Poindexter did get the dynamite out of the basement.
Q: He did get the dynamite out of the basement?
A: Yes.
Duane proceeded to give a detailed story of meetings he had with Mondo or Ed that week. He said he finally picked
up the bomb at Mondo's house on Sunday August 16th and took it to 2867 Ohio. Duane insists that he did not
attach the bomb to the floor. He did not arm it to explode. The County Attorney doesn't seem to like this answer.
Q: What did you do when you put the suitcase down?
A: I just set it down and left.
Q: You just set it down and left?
A: Yes.
Q: You didn't do anything to it at all?
A: No. You see, I told Poindexter I didn't want to know how to trigger it and I didn't want to do it.
Q: Do you know how it was triggered at all?
A: No.
Q: Do you have any idea how it was triggered?
A: I guess it must have been from the wire that extended from the bottom of the suitcase.
Q: I don't want you to hold anything back. Tell me the entire truth.
A: I am, because I want to hurry up and get out of this.
Q: What?
A: I want to get out of this whole thing.
