garage? Take your time and examine it as closely as you want to, do anything you want to with it.

Mr. Paine.

I would guess that--it looks a little, in here it looks cleaner than I remember but otherwise it looks--the light isn't very good in there and I always moved it around in the dark, I mean in the night time. I had an impression that it was, it was somewhat more mottling of the colors in it, that is to say, I can't identify this absolutely.
It is a very good substitute for it, a good resemblance or good candidate for, my memory of the blanket.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, there were lights in the garage, were there not?

Mr. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you would have them on when you were working in there?

Mr. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

You said at one point you stored the blanket under your saw?

Mr. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

You had lights near your saw, didn't you?

Mr. Paine.

It is very dark there. There is a light on the saw but that shines on the table.

Mr. Liebeler.

There is no light directly over the saw?

Mr. Paine.

No; there is one light in the garage out in the middle of the room.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would you say that at any time that you moved the blanket around in the garage that you would have had enough light to determine the colors of the blanket?

Mr. Paine.

The green and the brown, those colors were in that blanket. I had thought there was, it was dirtier, and I would have put blue spots with it, something like that to make it fully come up to the impression I had of the blanket.

Mr. Liebeler.

And those blue spots would have been a part of the pattern of the blanket?

Mr. Paine.

Yes; sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember whether the design of this blanket, Commission Exhibit 148, is approximately the same as the design on the blanket which you saw in your garage or was it different?

Mr. Paine.

I don't remember the design of the blanket I saw in the garage. I think somewhat, I didn't, if I had been the least bit curious I could have at least felt of this blanket but I was aware of personal privacy, so I don't investigate something.
Now what comes to my hand from touching the thing unavoidably I am free to think about, but I think I was aware of not looking through his belongings, the moral dictate. I know I was aware of that, I remember. I remember that feeling.

Mr. Liebeler.

What about the texture of this blanket, does it seem like the blanket?

Mr. Paine.

Yes; that is a good----

Mr. Liebeler.

It is similar?

Mr. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

This blanket we have here is sewn around the edges with brown thread, is it not?

Mr. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Around some of the edges at any rate?

Mr. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you recall seeing anything like that on the blanket that was in the garage?

Mr. Paine.

No; I don't know, but I didn't look at it that closely.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, a part of that exhibit is a piece of string. When I unfolded the blanket, Commission Exhibit 140, a piece of string was found to be present, and I would like to ask the reporter to mark it as the next exhibit on this deposition.
(The string referred to was marked Michael Paine Exhibit No. 2 for identification.)

Mr. Liebeler.

I ask you, Mr. Paine, whether that piece of string which has
