Mr. Belin.

Mr. WHALEY. The numbers were stationary. Looked through a black silk screen at them. In other words, they were very dim, the numbers.

Mr. Belin.

What did you see as the number over the man that you identified as having been in your cab that day?

Mr. Whaley.

No. 2.

Mr. Belin.

Did you see a picture of that man in the paper at any time?

Mr. Whaley.

Saturday morning, sir; following the event on Friday.

Mr. Belin.

You saw his picture in the paper?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Was that the same man that you identified as No. 2 in the lineup?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Did you ever see his picture in the paper again?

Mr. WHALEY. No, sir; I take that back, sir. I saw the picture in the paper when they had, when Ruby killed him at the time between the two detectives.
Mr. BELIN. Was the man in connection with the Ruby matter with the two detectives, did it have his name in the paper as Lee Harvey Oswald? Was his name in the paper then when you saw his picture?

Mr. Whaley.

Well, I don't think they had it that way. I think they just had it Oswald. I am not sure what they had under it. I am not for sure, but I did see the picture.

Mr. Belin.

Was that the same man you carried in your cab on Friday?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Was that the man you identified at the police station?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. It is your best recollection, if I understand it, that this was the No. 2 man in the lineup?
Mr. WHALEY. That's right, sir. That was from the left now. No. 2 from my left. I was facing him.

Mr. Belin.

Right. I mean correct. Now, your affidavit which is Whaley's Deposition Exhibit A, the last sentence says, "The No. 3 man who I now know as Lee Harvey Oswald was the man who I carried from the Greyhound bus station to the 500 block of North Beckley." Now you say it was the No. 2 man from your left, is that correct?

Mr. Whaley.

From my left. No. 3 from my right.

Mr. Belin.

What about whether or not you carried him to the 500 block of North Beckley. Did you carry him there?

Mr. Whaley.

No, sir. That is where he asked me. That is where I put on my trip sheet.

Mr. Belin.

You had it on the trip sheet the 500 block of North Beckley?

Mr. Whaley.

Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. When did you put it on your trip sheet, before or after you let him out?

Mr. Whaley.

After, sir; a good while after.

Mr. Belin.

Why?

Mr. WHALEY. Well, see, sometimes when you are busy you make three or four trips before you ever write one up.
Mr. BELIN. Why didn't you put it on your trip sheet for 700 instead of 500 North Beckley?
Mr. WHALEY. Because that is what he told me and that is what I remember when I wrote the trip up. I imagine there were hundreds of trip sheets, because people get off before they get where they are going. But I remember the thing that way.
Mr. BELIN. When did you first ascertain or start thinking about it that it was the 700 block of North Beckley where you let him off?
Mr. WHALEY. Well, when the FBI man got in my cab and he wanted to go over the route.

Mr. Belin.

When was this?

Mr. Whaley.

I don't know the exact date, sir, but it was the next week

Mr. Belin.

In the next week you told the FBI that it was the 700 block?

Mr. Whaley.

No, sir; I don't recall. I know I took him to where I let him out.

Mr. Belin.

You did?
