DETECTIVE PAUL BENTLEY:
"On my right is Officer C.L. Walker [sic], who also assisted me as we took Oswald up from the floor, handcuffed, to take him outside... When we got Oswald out of the theater, this was just before we got him in the car to place him in the car to take him to city hall. He (Oswald) was saying "Oh, those handcuffs are too tight". I turned to Walker and said "Walker, would you mind checking the handcuffs". The reason I'm smiling is he came back and said "Paul, I've just tightened them".
