Mr. Hawkins. It seemed like we were still in the theatre. After we got outside, I couldn't hear him say anything. There was a large crowd out front and they all started yelling when we came out the front door.
Mr. Ball. A witness testified yesterday that as the police brought Oswald from the theatre to the car, that two men were standing beside him, were walking beside him, and that another officer had his arm around his neck and under his chin so as to close his mouth—did you see anything like that?
Mr. Hawkins. I don't remember seeing this. I walked out—the best I can remember—I was behind the group and there were at least three officers, I am sure, directly around him and maybe more, but I was behind him and walked up behind him—I don't recall anyone having him around the neck at that time.
Mr. Ball. Did you do any more work on the investigation of the assassination of the President or the killing of Tippit?
Mr. Hawkins. No, sir; the only thing I did following this—we went to the personnel bureau and made a statement, or wrote a report on the arrest, and that was the last thing I had done.
Mr. Ball. Did you see the pistol at the personnel bureau?
Mr. Hawkins. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Ball. Did you see McDonald mark it?
Mr. Hawkins. Did I see McDonald mark it?
Mr. Ball. Yes.
