(Testimony of Mrs. Helen Markham)
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Immediately.
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Later that day they had a showup you went to?
Mrs. Markham.
A lineup?
Mr. Ball.
A lineup.
Mrs. Markham.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
How many men were in the lineup?
Mrs. Markham.
I believe there were, now I am not positive, I believe there were three besides this man.
Mr. Ball.
That would be four people altogether?
Mrs. Markham.
I believe that is correct.
Mr. Ball.
Were they of anywhere near similar build or size or coloring?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, they were all about the same height.
Mr. Ball.
Who were you in the lineup room with?
Mrs. Markham.
Who was I in the room where they had this man?
Mr. Ball.
Yes.
Mrs. Markham.
Policemen.
Mr. Ball.
More than one?
Mrs. Markham.
The room was full.
Mr. Ball.
It was. In this lineup room, the room was full of policemen. Weren't there just one or two men with you?
Mrs. Markham.
One or two with me, but I don't know who they were.
Mr. Ball.
But there were other officers?
Mrs. Markham.
There were all policemen sitting in the back of me, and aside of me.
Mr. Ball.
In this room?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir. They were doing something.
Mr. Ball.
Before you went into this room were you shown a picture of anyone?
Mrs. Markham.
I was not.
Mr. Ball.
Did you see any television?
Mrs. Markham.
I did not.
Mr. Ball.
Did a police officer say anything to you before you went in there, to tell you--
Mrs. Markham.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
That he thought "We had the right man," or something of that sort? Anything like that?
Mrs. Markham.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
No statement like that?
Mrs. Markham.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Did anybody tell you that the man you were looking for would be in a certain position in the lineup, or anything like that?
Mrs. Markham.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Now when you went into the room you looked these people over, these four men?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Did you recognize anyone in the lineup?
Mrs. Markham.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
You did not? Did you see anybody--I have asked you that question before did you recognize anybody from their face?
Mrs. Markham.
From their face, no.
Mr. Ball.
Did you identify anybody in these four people?
Mrs. Markham.
I didn't know nobody.
Mr. Ball.
I know you didn't know anybody, but did anybody in that lineup look like anybody you had seen before?
Mrs. Markham.
No. I had never seen none of them, none of these men.
Mr. Ball.
No one of the four?
Mrs. Markham.
No one of them.
Mr. Ball.
No one of all four?
Mrs. Markham.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Was there a number two man in there?
