Mr. BELIN. Do you remember now whether the man that you saw there was the No. 2 or the No. 3 man?
Mr. Whaley.
I will admit he was No. 2.
Mr. Belin.
No. 2 from your left, or from your right?
Mr. WHALEY. He was the third man out in the line of four as they walked out in a line. They put the first man out on the right, and the last one on my left, and as near as I can remember, he was No. 2, but it was the man I hauled.
Mr. Belin.
It says here the No. 3.
Mr. Whaley.
Well, I am not trying to mix nobody up. I'm giving it to you to the best of my ability.
Mr. Belin.
Your memory right now is that it was the No. 2 man?
Mr. Whaley.
That is the way it is right now. I don't think it will change again. But on that afternoon, all I saw was the man that I hauled up there, and they asked me which number he was, and I said No. 2. I am almost sure I did, but I couldn't get up to swear to it that I did, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Just one more minute, if you would, please? Mr. Whaley, earlier in your testimony here you said that Lee Harvey Oswald was No. 3. Do you remember saying that?
Mr. Whaley.
Yes, sir; but I meant that he was the third one out when they walked out with him. I said from my right.
Mr. Belin.
From your right he was No. 3?
Mr. Whaley.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What number was over his head?
Mr. WHALEY. Well, they--when they walked over the line and they stopped him, No. 2 was over his head, but he was pulling on both of the other men on each side and arguing with this detective, so he didn't stay under any certain number.
He was moving like that.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever see him later on television?
Mr. Whaley.
No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Belin.
You never did see his picture in the paper?
Mr. Whaley.
I saw his picture in the paper the next morning, sir.
Mr. Belin.
That would have been Sunday morning, the 24th?
Mr. Whaley.
I guess it was, if you say it was, sir.
Mr. Belin.
I don't want to---
Mr. WHALEY. I don't want to get you mixed up and get your whole investigation mixed up through my ignorance, but a good defense attorney could take me apart. I get confused. I try to tell you exactly what happened, to the best of my ability, when they brought Oswald out in the lineup of four. He was the third man out. I don't know which way they count them.
Mr. Belin.
We don't want you to be concerned about affecting the investigation one way or the other by what you say. What we want you to say is tell us what you know, to the best of your recollection.
Mr. Whaley.
That is exactly what I am doing, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you this. What day of the week did you take this cab passenger, on a Friday or Saturday?
Mr. Whaley.
I would have to see my trip sheet.
Mr. Belin.
You don't remember?
Mr. Whaley.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Was it the day of the motorcade?
Mr. Whaley.
The day of the President's parade, yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Now, was it that day that you went down to the police station to see the lineup?
Mr. Whaley.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Was it the next day?
Mr. Whaley.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
The next day you went down to the Dallas Police Station and saw a lineup of how many people?
Mr. Whaley.
Four people.
Mr. Belin.
These men came out and there were numbers above their heads?
