Mr. Ball. Who directed that?
Mr. Boyd. I don't know—we met them down in the jail office and they had those three men down there.
Mr. Ball. What is the usual thing—when you are going to have a showup and you are in charge of investigation, who picks the people who appear in the showup?
Mr. Boyd. Well, most of the time we call down to the jail office and have them send us down—if he's already in jail, we just have them send up there and get him and just how many we want in the showup and we will tell them to give us this particular one—or three or four men—whatever the case may be.
Mr. Ball. Who picks them?
Mr. Boyd. The jailers upstairs.
Mr. Ball. Do you tell them to get them all the same color?
Mr. Boyd. Yes, sir; we always tell them to get them all the same color. I never have had too much trouble getting them all the same color.
Mr. Ball. What about the size and weight?
Mr. Boyd. Now, we always tell them to get them as near the same size and age and weight as they can. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.
