Mr. Hawkins. I did notice, not at that time, but I did notice, however, after I saw him on television that he had a bruise on the right side of his face.
Mr. Ball. Did you see that bruise there at the theatre?
Mr. Hawkins. Not at the theatre; no, sir.
Mr. Ball. Were you with the group of officers that took him from the theatre?
Mr. Hawkins. I was walking with the group—I was not immediately beside Oswald. At this time, I believe, Officer Walker and possibly Officer Lyons and Paul Bentley and I don't remember, but I believe those three were one of the three and maybe Sergeant Hill. We handcuffed him and after we had handcuffed him we walked him out to the left and immediately to the car in front. They put him in the car—I was standing beside the car and then I worked traffic for them to get out.
Mr. Ball. As he was going out of the theatre, was he shouting or yelling?
Mr. Hawkins. Was he?
Mr. Ball. Yes.
Mr. Hawkins. I don't remember him saying anything except this about that he had certain rights and the police brutality.
Mr. Ball. Did he say that as he was leaving the theatre, or did he say that in the theatre?
