We then, after this checked out, we then continued circling in the area around 10th and Patton and Marsalis and Jefferson.
We then heard on the police radio that a suspicious person was at the Texas Theatre, and at this time we proceeded to the theatre.
Mr. Ball. Where did you park?
Mr. Hawkins. I parked my squad car in the alley at the rear of the theatre.
Mr. Ball. Then, what did you do?
Mr. Hawkins. Officer—I believe Officer McDonald was at the back door at the time and Officer Hutson and Captain Westbrook and Officer Walker and myself went in the rear door, all went to the rear door, and at this time we saw a white male there and began talking to him and he identified himself as being the manager of a shoe store next door and that he was the person who had noted the suspicious acting on the suspect, and he at that time was brought into the rear of the theatre and on the stage and he pointed the person out sitting about three or four rows from the back of the theatre on the right hand or the south side.
Mr. Ball. That would be near the right aisle as you face the screen?
Mr. Hawkins. Yes, sir; near the right aisle as you face the screen about four rows from the rear of the theatre.
Mr. Ball. And how many seats over from the right aisle?
Mr. Hawkins. I would say probably three or four—I don't remember exactly.
