(Testimony of Leonard Edwin Hutchison)

Mr. Jenner.
And to remember them?
Mr. Hutchison.
I love people and I love to speak to them and I address everyone, regardless of creed, color, or anything. I always speak to them.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, that's a mark of a good salesman--apart from your normal disposition.
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; I like people. That's the thing. I like people.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall how this man was attired on that occasion?
Mr. Hutchison.
He was in slacks with just--uh---had a little jacket--uh--I would say just a common, ordinary jacket.
Mr. Jenner.
There.'s my raincoat hanging there [indicating]. Was it about that weight or what was it?
Mr. Hutchison.
A little heavier; a little heavier jacket. It was----
Mr. Jenner.
Was it that type of material--twill? Or was it wool or what was it?
Mr. Hutchison.
Twill.
Mr. Jenner.
Twill?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; it was twill.
Mr. Jenner.
Short jacket?
Mr. Hutchison.
Short jacket; yes, sir. Short jacket.
Mr. Jenner.
Zippered?
Mr. Hutchison.
Zipper--yes, sir. Because it was open. I remember that. He wore it several times. He had it on--uh--when he came in the morning. Always an open shirt, always had a--he never wore a tie. I observed that, naturally.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. Describe the lady.
Mr. Hutchison.
Well, she had on, I would say, a print dress and she had on a coat. She had on a--not a heavy coat but a-----
Mr. Jenner.
How tall was she?
Mr. Hutchison.
I would say she was around 5 foot 2 1/2 or 3.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall the color of her hair?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, Sir; I couldn't. She had----
Mr. Jenner.
A babushka?
Mr. Hutchison.
No; a scarf. She had a scarf on her head. She had a white scarf.
Mr. Jenner.
A white scarf?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know what I mean when I say "babushka"? It's a that the ladies have over their head and they tie it under their chin.
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that the way she wore the scarf?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall the shade or color of his hair?
Mr. Hutchison.
I would say that it was a kind of dark brown.
Mr. Jenner.
And what about its plenitude did he have plenty of hair or----
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir. It was--it was combed back each time. He never wore a hat. His hair was always, I would call it--in mine and your day--roached, I guess--roached back, just peeled completely back on both sides.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. And, as best you are able to fix it, when was this with respect to month and what part of the month--the fore part, latter part, middle part?
Mr. Hutchison.
Well, that must have been the latter part of, I would say, the last 10 days of October.
Mr. Jenner.
Uh-huh. And was it a midweek?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; yes, sir. It was in midweek, because I only work Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. So, it would have had to have been a Wednesday night.
Mr. Jenner.
Wednesday night?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Could it be that this-visit was sometime between the 4th of October and the 15th of October?
Mr. Hutchison.
I don't believe so. I believe it was later than that, sir.
