Mr. Hubert. Nobody at all in here [indicating].
Mr. Watson. I think one or two, but no officers behind me.
Mr. Hubert. Did you see Ruby come forward?
Mr. Watson. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. When did you first see Ruby?
Mr. Watson. I saw him underneath four or five detectives immediately at my feet in front of me after the shooting. Did not see—couldn't have told whether it was white or colored until they had him in the jail office. Four or five detectives completely smothering him. I was standing there watching the crowd, looked down once or twice. Couldn't tell who it was.
Mr. Hubert. When did you first become aware that there was a shooting?
Mr. Watson. What do you mean? What are you—How are you going to pinpoint it——
Mr. Hubert. When you heard the shot?
Mr. Watson. When I heard the shot; yes.
