Mr. Archer. That was as we took him back to the jail office after the shooting.
Mr. Hubert. Did he make any observation or remark or say anything at all before he was moved into the jail office?
Mr. Archer. Sir, an instant before I heard the shot, I heard a phrase. Now, I couldn't say what the phrase was and then I definitely——
Mr. Hubert. You mean you don't know what the phrase was?
Mr. Archer. No, sir; I don't know. I couldn't say what the phrase was, because I had not heard, but I did hear the words, "Son-of-a-bitch," and then the shot was fired.
Mr. Hubert. Do you know who said it?
Mr. Archer. Yes, sir; I know Ruby said it. I'm positive of that. I was looking right at the man.
Mr. Hubert. You mean that you didn't hear anything except those four words, "Son-of-a-bitch"?
Mr. Archer. That is the only words I could make out.
Mr. Hubert. And you knew it was coming from him?
