Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; he took it and ejected a live round of ammunition out of the rifle.

Mr. Ball. Do you know who took possession of that live round?

Mr. Sims. No, sir; I don't.

Mr. Ball. Now, you left the building about what time?

Mr. Sims. Well, we arrived at the city hall around 2 o'clock—I'll have to look at the record—on this—about 2:15—we left there evidently about 2 o'clock.

Mr. Ball. You and who?

Mr. Sims. Captain Fritz and Boyd.

Mr. Ball. Then where did you go?

Mr. Sims. Captain Fritz went over and talked to Sheriff Decker. He sent word he wanted to talk to Captain Fritz, so we talked to the sheriff and then we went to the city hall.

Mr. Ball. Where was Decker when he said he wanted to talk to Fritz?
