The employees used the back stairs stairs leading from the metal
room to the third floor. You can hear the elevator running if the
machinery is not running. It makes a roaring noise and you can hear
it on any floor. The motor makes a noise, and you can see the wheels
moving on the fourth floor. I know Jim Conley's general character
for truth and veracity, it is bad. I would not believe him on oath,
