Mr. Applin. Well, about the only thing I heard was the snap of the gun and the officer saying, "Here he is."
Mr. Ball. You heard the snap of a gun?
Mr. Applin. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Are you familiar with guns?
Mr. Applin. Well, yes, sir; I am familiar with a few guns.
Mr. Ball. Pistols? Have you ever shot a pistol?
Mr. Applin. Yes, sir; I have shot my daddy's nine-shot .22 pistol.
Mr. Ball. Sounded like a hammer of a pistol falling?
Mr. Applin. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Then what happened after that? You say several officers came down?
