Mr. Applin. Yes, sir; it—I guess it was. You could—yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. And he struck Oswald where?
Mr. Applin. In the back.
Mr. Ball. What part of the back?
Mr. Applin. Well, somewheres along in the middle of the back, somewheres.
Mr. Ball. With the butt end of a shotgun?
Mr. Applin. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Did you see the officer strike Oswald with his fist?
Mr. Applin. No, sir; I do not believe so.
Mr. Ball. Now, how many officers were struggling with Oswald when you saw the officer strike him with the butt end of the shotgun?
