He was rolling them with his hand--with his thumb.
Mr. Ball.

Just as he come around the corner on Patton, he cut through the yard and missed the corner on 10th and Patton and cut through the yard.
Mr. Bail.
He cut through the yard of the house on the corner of 10th and Patton?
Mr. Guinyard.
That's right.

The west--southwest corner--the southeast corner is where he started across, but he come out on Patton on the southwest corner.
