(Testimony of William Wayne Whaley)

Mr. Whaley.
anything shiny, an unusual watchband or something shiny, you notice things like that.
Mr. Ball.
I have a map of Dallas here, which I would like to have marked as the Commission's next exhibit which is Exhibit No. 371.
The Chairman.
It will be so marked.
(The map referred to was marked Commission's Exhibit No. 371 for identification.)
Mr. Ball.
I would like to offer into evidence Exhibits Nos. 368 and 369 that were marked yesterday.
The Chairman.
They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibits Nos. 368 and 369, heretofore marked for identification, were received in evidence.)
Mr. Ball.
And 371 being a form map of Dallas can probably be offered in evidence at this time. It is going to be used to illustrate the witness' testimony.
The Chairman.
That may be done.
(Commission Exhibit No. 371, heretofore marked for identification was received in evidence.)
Mr. Ball.
There is a map here which is described as Dallas street map, Republic National Bank of Dallas, and in one corner of this map there is shown a small map of downtown Dallas.
Will you point on the map there to the Greyhound bus station?
Let's take the small map. It was on the corner of Jackson?
Mr. Whaley.
And Lamar.
Mr. Ball.
And Lamar.
Mr. Whaley.
The northwest corner, Greyhound bus station.
Mr. Ball.
You have seen this map before, have you not?
Mr. Whaley.
Yes, sir; I am very familiar with that map.
Mr. Ball.
And let's take Lamar, here is Jackson.
Mr. Whaley.
Lamar is down here, sir.
Mr. Ball.
This is Jackson, this is the Houston viaduct.
Mr. Whaley.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Here is Jackson, and Lamar is right there.
Mr. Whaley.
Well, the Greyhound bus station is on the northwest corner.
Mr. Ball.
Suppose we make an "X" there at Jackson.
Mr. Whaley.
All right, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And Lamar. That is where you picked your passenger up?
Mr. Whaley.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
When you started out which direction did you go, and before you mark just take this blunt end and then we will mark it after you describe it on the map.
Now, the next street is Austin, just to the west of Lamar?
Mr. Whaley.
That is right.
Mr. Ball.
All right.
Mr. Whaley.
I turned to the left.
Mr. Ball.
All right.
Mr. Whaley.
I turned to the left off Lamar onto Jackson, went one block to Austin, then from Austin I turned to the left again and went one block over to Wood Street.
Now, the reason for that is if you catch this light right at Lamar and Jackson, this other light turns green as you make your turn here and the other one turns green as you make your turn at Wood. You just move through traffic. That was my reason for making the turn.
Then I turned left on Wood off Austin and went straight on down Wood to Houston which is the street which we call the old viaduct.
Mr. Ball.
You call that the Houston Street viaduct?
Mr. Whaley.
Yes.
(At this point Representative Ford entered the hearing room.)
Mr. Whaley.
Went across the viaduct to Zangs, as soon as you get across the angle to the left, that is Zangs Boulevard.
Mr. Ball.
Take the black pen and draw your course along this small map as far as you can go and we will go to the continuation of the map.
Now, can you tell us--did everybody see this course--now can you tell us
