Mr. Ball. Which fist did he hit you with?
Mr. McDonald. His left fist.
Mr. Ball. What happened then?
Mr. McDonald. Well, whenever he knocked my hat off, any normal reaction was for me to go at him with this hand.
Mr. Ball. Right hand?
Mr. McDonald. Yes. I went at him with this hand, and I believe I struck him on the face, but I don't know where. And with my hand, that was on his hand over the pistol.
Mr. Ball. Did you feel the pistol?
Mr. McDonald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Which hand was—was his right hand or his left hand on the pistol?
Mr. McDonald. His right hand was on the pistol.
