She testified that she and her husband watched one of the cars leave—Thompson taking Zeigler to the hospital.  Then she and her husband noticed Ed Nolan in the front door of the Kentucky Fried Chicken, and they crossed the street to the restaurant.

Q: Okay.  And what happened when you go over there?

A: We motioned for his brother.  He was inside.  We told him something—we motioned for him to come out.

Q: All right.

A: We told him something had happened at the Zeigler Furniture Store.

Q: Right. And what happened next?

A: A colored man come up and asked to use the phone to call the sheriff's office.

Q: That was after the police had arrived at the W. T. Zeigler Furniture Store and carried the man that you saw out the front door?

A: That was happening at about the same time.

Q: Okay.  This happened and then after you saw this at the Zeigler Furniture Store, the police arrived and the man came out the door, then you went to the Kentucky Fried Chicken?

A: Yes.

Q: And it was then that this black gentleman you described came up and asked to use the telephone?

A: Yes.

Eagan had no questions. Hadley now brought Madelyn's husband, J.D. Nolan, who described the near-broadside with Jimmy Yawn's unmarked police car as they approached Route 50 on Dillard.  Nolan said that he made a U-turn and pulled into the front lot of the Tucker Buildings to see what was happening.  He watched Thompson drive away with  Zeigler.  Then J.D. noticed his brother in the door of the restaurant.  He crossed the street and spoke to him.

A (J.D. NOLAN): ....I said, "There is some trouble going on over there, I don't know what it is." and I told him abut the guy that liked to hit me and I went up there.  About that time, I say it couldn't have been like four or five minutes, I say a short time, the colored guy come up and asked to use the telephone.  I said, "I don't know because the place is closed."

Q (HADLEY): Now, could you describe this gentleman, build, age, and this kind of thing?

A: Well, I'd say probably he is around—I'd just rough guess like fifty or fifty-five years old, might be a little bit older or a little bit younger.  I didn't pay that much attention, but he was kind of an old fellow.  I would say probably about my age, but he must have been roughly, I'd say, weighed about a hundred and
