Mr. Stern. What was the response from the police officer in charge at any time he mentioned getting a lawyer?
Mr. Sims. I don't know what it was. I believe he used the telephone.
Mr. Stern. Did he seem tired to you in the course of the interrogations? Or showups?
Mr. Sims. No, sir.
Mr. Stern. By the time of your last contact with him, a little after 12 that night, was he still in possession of his—have all his wits about him?
Mr. Sims. Yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. Would you still describe him the way you did before?
Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; he was still alert—quick.
Mr. Stern. Calm?
Mr. Sims. Yes, sir.
