Mr. Ball. And you still kept your eye on the suspect?
Mr. McDonald. Yes, sir. He was to my back. I was looking over my shoulder at him.
Mr. Ball. Was he sitting nearest the right or the left aisle as you came in?
Mr. McDonald. The right center aisle. He was in the second seat.
Mr. Ball. What did you do then?
Mr. McDonald. After I was satisfied that these two men were not armed or had a weapon on them, I walked out of this row, up to the right center aisle toward the suspect. And as I walked up there, just at a normal gait, I didn't look directly at him, but I kept my eye on him and any other persons. And to my left was another man and I believe a woman was with him. But he was further back than the suspect.
And just as I got to the row where the suspect was sitting, I stopped abruptly, and turned in and told him to get on his feet. He rose immediately, bringing up both hands. He got this hand about shoulder high, his left hand shoulder high, and he got his right hand about breast high. He said, "Well, it is all over now."
As he said this, I put my left hand on his waist and then his hand went to the waist. And this hand struck me between the eyes on the bridge of the nose.
Mr. Ball. Did he cock his fist?
Mr. McDonald. Yes, sir; knocking my cap off.
