Mr. Whaley.

My recollection for that afternoon in that office was very disturbed because everytime they would open the door, some flash camera would flash in your face and everybody coming in and out and asking you questions.

Mr. Belin.

You mean reporters?

Mr. WHALEY. I made this statement more to Bill Alexander, because I tried to talk to him more. Everybody was trying to talk to me at once.
Mr. BELIN. When you saw the statement the first time, did you see the statement before you went down to see the lineup?

Mr. Whaley.

No; I didn't see the statement. I don't think I did. I am not for sure.
I think I signed it after I came back. It was on paper. They were writing it up on paper.

Mr. Belin.

They were writing?

Mr. WHALEY. Before I left there, I signed this typewritten, because they had to get, a stenographer typed it up. I had to wait.

Mr. Belin.

But was this before or after you saw the lineup.

Mr. Whaley.

After she typed it up. It was after.

Mr. Belin.

It was after?

Mr. Whaley.

That is when I signed it, after.
Mr. BELIN. Now, when you signed it--what I want to know is, before you went down, had they already put on there a statement that the man you saw was the No. 8 man in the lineup?
Mr. WHALEY. I don't remember that. I don't remember whether it said three or two, or what.
Mr. BELIN. Did they have any statements on there before you went down to the lineup?
Mr. WHALEY. I never saw what they had in there. It was all written out by hand. The statement I saw, I think, was this one, and that could be writing. I might not even seen this one yet. I signed my name because they said that is what I said.

Mr. Belin.

Well, Mr. Whaley---

Mr. WHALEY. I know, sir, but I don't think you can understand what I had to put up with that afternoon.

Mr. Belin.

You mean with the press?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir; with everything.
Mr. BELIN. Well, I do understand, sir, and I appreciate that you were under a great deal of pressure at that time, and I want to try and get at the actual facts, and that is why we asked you to come back to testify again, because we wanted to know basically whether or not the man that you drove in the cab got off in the 500 block or the 700 block.
Mr. WHALEY. The man I drove in the cab got off where I told you he got off, this morning.
I picked him up, and I showed you where I picked him up, and the trip runs 95 cents on the meter. He gave me a dollar and got off and he never spoke a word to me, except he wanted to go to 500 North Beckley.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember a woman coming up to the cab?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir; I remember that.

Mr. Belin.

What happened then?

Mr. WHALEY. The lady, I don't remember whether she was very old, but she was middle-aged. She bent down and stuck in and said, "Can I have this cab?" And he cracked the door open like he was going to get out. I thought he was going to let her have it.
I told her there would be another one, and she said, "Would you please call me one."

Mr. Belin.

Did he say anything to the woman, that you can remember?
Mr. WHALEY. When she wanted to know if she could have the cab, I don't know, but I got a faint hunch he did tell her she could have this one, or something like that. What it was, I was watching my left-hand side. I wanted to pull out when the light changed.

Mr. Belin.

Now when you saw a lineup down at the police station----

Mr. Whaley.

He didn't have on the same clothes. He had on a white T-shirt and black pants, and that is all he had on.
