Mr. Ball. You did not see the Dr. Pepper bottle?
Mr. Mooney. No, sir.
Mr. Ball. You didn't see a paper sack anywhere near a two-wheel truck or a Dr. Pepper bottle?
Mr. Mooney. No, sir; in my running around up there, I didn't observe it. Possibly it was there. I am sure it was. But I didn't check it.
Mr. Ball. How long did you stay there?
Mr. Mooney. Sir?
Mr. Ball. How long did you stay up on the sixth floor? After you found the location of the three cartridges?
Mr. Mooney. Well, I stayed up there not over 15 or 20 minutes longer—after Captain Will Fritz and his officers came over there, Captain Fritz picked up the cartridges, began to examine them, of course I left that particular area. By that time there was a number of officers up there. The floor was covered with officers, And we were searching, trying to find the weapon at that time.
Mr. Ball. Were you there when it was found?
Mr. Mooney. Yes, sir. I was searching under these books and between them and up on the ledges and the joists, we was just looking everywhere. And I was about 10 or 15 steps at the most from Officer Boone when he hollered, "Here is the gun."
