Mr. Ball.

What kind of a cab were you driving on that day?

Mr. Whaley.

A 1961 Checker.

Mr. Ball.

Was it equipped with radio equipment?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

You can call in to your dispatcher?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir; I can.

Mr. Ball.

By a two-way radio?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Do you operate on cab stands or do you cruise?

Mr. Whaley.

No, sir; you just go out in the morning and wherever they send you you go to work and wherever you unload you check in they give you another call like that.

Mr. Ball.

About 12:30 that day where were you?

Mr. Whaley.

Well, about 12:30 as you say, sir; I was at the Greyhound bus station. I have a copy of my trip sheet here.

Mr. Ball.

Could I see that, please?

Mr. Whaley.

The FBI took the original and the pictures of the cab and everything.

Mr. Ball.

That is what I have been waiting for.

Mr. Whaley.

I think it is supposed to be delivered to you, sir.

Mr. Ball.

That is right. I am glad you have that copy.

Mr. Whaley.

I thought maybe you might need it. You look down there it says Greyhound, 500 North Beckley, I think it is marked 12:30 to 12:45. Now that could have been 10 minutes off in each direction because I didn't use a watch, I just guess, in other words, all my trips are marked about 15 minutes each.

Mr. Ball.

I am going to let you use this manifest to refresh your memory, Mr. Whaley. I have seen it. I am going to ask you some questions and you refresh your memory if you will from the manifest.
First of all, describe the document you are using, what is that?

Mr. Whaley.

It is a trip sheet manifest. The company gets the amount of money you have run, your meter reading and all, and they have to keep it because of the city ordinance requirement that the taxis make this kind of manifest.

Mr. Ball.

Tell me when you make the entries, you make the entries when?

Mr. Whaley.

Sometimes I make them right after I make the trips, sir, and sometimes I make three or four trips before I make the entries.

Mr. Ball.

Are you required by your employer to describe the trip, where you went, how far it was?

Mr. Whaley.

Not by the employer, sir. All the employers are interested in are the meter reading and your tolls. The city of Dallas ordinance requires that you put down where you picked the passenger up, where you unload the passenger. They are not interested in the price, the number of passengers and the time.

Mr. Ball.

Now, the manifest does contain that information, though, does it?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir; it does.

Mr. Ball.

Will you describe the different columns of the manifest, that information that is in each column generally?

Mr. Whaley.

Over on the left side, where you see call or pickup, if you get the call on your radio you mark with a "C" and if somebody hails you on the street that is marked "P" for pickup.
In the next column it has the trip numbers from one to fifty.

Mr. Ball.

The number of the trips you make that day?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir. In the third column it says "from." Like this first one, 4924 Belmont and then to the next column, to the airport.
The next column is the "meter reading," what the meter said, $1.75. The next column says "flat rate." If it had been an extra passenger or so and you had a flat rate you would put it in that column.
The third column is "charge," the people who have the charge accounts through the company in the car, you put the meter reading in there because you don't get cash and you put charge, the company takes it off.
The next column says the number of passengers and that first trip was four
