Mr. Ball. It is unusual?
Mr. Boyd. Yes.
Mr. Ball. The usual thing is to have other prisoners come in handcuffed with the suspect, isn't it?
Mr. Boyd. Yes.
Mr. Ball. Do you know why that wasn't done in this case?
Mr. Boyd. No; I do not.
Mr. Ball. When did you first learn that officers were going to go with you and with Oswald into the showup?
Mr. Boyd. When we got ready for the showup.
Mr. Ball. Did you hear anybody direct them to go into the showup with Oswald?
Mr. Boyd. No, sir.
