Mr. Leavelle. No.
Mr. Ball. Did you ever hear him say anything to anyone as to how he received the black eye?
Mr. Leavelle. Yes; I remember at one time when they were moving him. Of course, if you saw television that day, I am sure you saw what men we had in the hallway up there with the photographers and newsmen, all were sticking microphones out at arms' length and hollering questions at him, and at one time someone asked him how he got the black eye. He said "A cop hit me," but that was just a hollered response to some unknown question or unknown news-reporter asking him.
Mr. Ball. As you would move Oswald through the halls on the third floor from one room to another——
Mr. Leavelle. Actually, it wasn't from one room to the other; it would be from our office to the elevator which is some 20 feet.
Mr. Ball. On those occasions would the hallway he crowded with reporters, newsmen, and television cameramen?
Mr. Leavelle. Yes; cameramen and television men all over the place; in fact, I was plumb up to my chin with those people.
Mr. Stern. How do you mean?
Mr. Leavelle. Well, I was disgusted with them.
Mr. Stern. Would they not cooperate with your request to stand in a particular place?
