Mr. Applin. Yes, sir; they came up through and one of the officers hollered out, "Don't let nobody see him," and they came in right behind me.
Mr. Ball. In behind you?
Mr. Applin. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. And went on out?
Mr. Applin. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. And did you go out and follow them out?
Mr. Applin. No, sir; I went out to the candy counter out there and the officer said, if there's anybody in there that seen it—and asked—there was about two or three, the candyman himself, and said—that one boy said that he seen him, through the front—I mean out from behind the picture where it came out—supposed to came out behind the picture.
Mr. Ball. Did you give them your name there?
Mr. Applin. He asked my name and address and where I was staying at the time.
Mr. Ball. Later did you go down to the police station and make a statement?
