Mr. McDonald. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. What did he do?
Mr. McDonald. Just sat in his seat, with his hands in his lap, watching me.
Senator Cooper. Were there any other police officers in his vicinity?
Mr. McDonald. There were police officers in the balcony, and police officers in the aisle, or in the lobby, you might call it—not in the theatre, except for the other three that I named.
Senator Cooper. You are the only one in the theatre?
Mr. McDonald. Well, there was the other three officers that accompanied me through the rear exit door. Officer Walker went through the curtains with me, and Officers Hawkins and Hutson was on the stage with the man that was identifying the suspect.
Senator Cooper. Then when you told the man you arrested to stand up did he immediately pull his pistol out?
Mr. McDonald. No, sir; he stood up and started raising his hands, "Well, it is all over now." But in my opinion, it was an act of giving up or surrendering. It was just natural that my hand went to his waist for a weapon, which was my intent anyway, whether he raised his hands or not. I didn't command him to raise his hands or anything. It was just a reaction of his.
