(Testimony of Leonard Edwin Hutchison)
Mr. Jenner.
From that, you would conclude that he must have had some bills larger than a dollar?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; he would have had to have larger bills that day.
Mr. Jenner.
Or else he would have had to have a number of dollar bills.
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hutchison.
I would say his weight was somewhere in the neighborhood of 155 to 160.
Mr. Jenner.
What is your recollection as to his dress in the sense of neatness, cleanliness?
Mr. Hutchison.
Well, I wouldn't say he was dirty, but he was shabbily dressed.
Mr. Jenner.
Uh, huh.
Mr. Hutchison.
He was shabbily dressed---cheap slacks, and like I said, the jacket was cheap, and his shirts were always open, he never had a tie, he wasn't what you would call neatly dressed. He always looked well, like just a common worker.
Mr. Jenner.
I gather from all this that it was your impression that he was a person of little means?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What about his neatness? Was he always shaven?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; he was always shaven.
Mr. Jenner.
His hair neatly combed?
Mr. Hutchison.
Hair cut and neatly combed; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And you didn't notice anything about, did you, that he always needed a haircut or----
Mr. Hutchison.
No; I would say that he was pretty well.
Mr. Jenner.
In that respect, you would call him normal?
Mr. Hutchison.
Normal; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Hutchison.
Because, you know, I'd notice if a person doesn't have a hair-cut. Naturally, I would on account of my help and everything like that. I have to observe those things.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes. Are you able to describe Mrs. Paine to me?
Mr. Hutchison.
Well, she's an ordinary person I mean----
Mr. Jenner.
Physical characteristics, I mean, first.
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir. Well, she's about 5 foot 4 and I'd say her weight was around 122 and 124 I'd say between 115 and 125. Uh she's not a beautiful woman, but she's attractive.
Mr. Jenner.
What about her age?
Mr. Hutchison.
Oh I'd say uh between 42 and 46 years of age.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you acquainted with Mr. Paine?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
In the first place, do you know that there is a Mr. Paine?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir; I sure don't.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know whether the lady you have in mind does or does not have children and if so----
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Whenever she was in your store did she have children with her?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir; she was alone.
Mr. Jenner.
Always alone. When was the last time you saw this person that you have in mind in your store?
Mr. Hutchison.
Oh, I'd say in January----
Mr. Jenner.
Of this year?
Mr. Hutchison.
Of this year. Yes, sir. She's been in since----
Mr. Jenner.
She may well have been in on other occasions----
Mr. Hutchison.
Oh, yes; yes.
Mr. Jenner.
But the last time you recall her was in January?
Mr. Hutchison.
January. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, you were never able to strike up any conversation with this man, so----
