Mr. Ball. A bunch of them doing what?

Mr. Sims. A bunch of them hollering at him—talking to him.

Mr. Ball. Were they talking loud?

Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; it was pretty noisy.

Mr. Ball. Now, you took him back to the jail office at 12:20?

Mr. Sims. Yes; we took him back to the jail office at 12:20 a.m. on November the 23d.

Mr. Ball. And you turned him over to the jailer?

Mr. Sims. No, sir; we took him up to the fourth floor.

Mr. Ball. And what did you do then?

Mr. Sims. We turned him over to the jailers there.
