series?
A Yeah. I know the Holiday is a longer car.
Q Is it your impression this was, or was not a Holiday?
A This was not.
Q It was not?
A Uh huh.
Q You recall we talked to you last night, over at Stan’s, and it seems like you said something—it was a possibility it might have been two-toned?
A It is possible. If it was two-toned, it was all green—a lighter shade of green and a darker green.
Q What is your best recollection, at this particular time? You have probably thought about it since we talked to you last night, along those lines, as to whether it was or was not a two-tone.
A I still feel it was a two-tone.
Q The bottom part being the darkest of the two colors?
A Uh huh.
Q You said that this woman is the one that attracted your attention the most? Why was that?
A Well, usually you walk up to a car and you ask them if they want a menu, and they say yes, or they say no. But she didn’t know what she wanted. But she said, “I want a sandwich, the smallest sandwich you got.” And I started to say, “A hot dog?” and she says, “Thinnest sandwich you have.” I said, “That will be a grilled cheese.” She said, “Okay”. He didn’t say anything, and I waited for him to order, and he said, “Just coffee.” And I took the order.And when I went to pick up the tray, I noticed the ring— the way she was sitting. She was smiling and laughing all the time, real gay.
Q Excuse me. You said you noticed the ring, the way she was sitting?
A When I was at his window, the ring was on this finger, so I could see that. (Indicating.)
Q Indicating by that, you mean your wedding ring finger?
A Uh huh.
Q On her left hand?
A Uh huh.
Q Can you describe that ring?
A It was an enormous pearl, it was so big.
Q Anything else, in particular, about it?
A It looked really bigger, I guess, because the way her hand was. It looked like it went all the way around, because I could see the big part of the pearl.
Q Anything in addition to the pearl?
A No, just the pearl, and the dress she had on. The blue dress—I noticed that.
Q Again, if you recall, we showed you a coat that has two different types of material, the outside being linen, kind of dark blue, and the inside lining a silk material, like varied-colored blue.
A That’s what it was, a blue print dress.
Q The cloth that you saw, that lined this coat that we showed you last night, was the same material?
A As the dress.
Q Was it your impression that this woman had been drinking?
A Yes, she was—oh, I’d say, pretty drunk.
Q You’d say she was pretty drunk?
A Uh huh.
Q How about the man?
A No, he wasn’t. If he was drunk, he didn’t show it. He seemed very sober.
Q Can you describe this woman to us?
A She was thin, with short dark red hair and very pleasant—real nice personality, or seemed to have. The kind you look twice at her.
Q How old a woman do you think she was?
A I don’t know. I am not a very good judge of ages.
Q Well, as I recall, you are 29.
A I’d say she was older than I am.
Q How much older than you?
A Gee, I don’t know.
Q Well, could she have been 40 years old, in your opinion?
A She could have been.
Q I don’t want to put ideas in your mind, I want your best recollection, just trying to help you recollect, a little bit. How about the man, what did he look like?
A Dark, very thin. Thin face, had dark hair, hair combed straight back.
Q You say dark hair. Could it have been dark brown, or black?
A It was either black, or awfully dark brown.
Q Did it appear that he used some kind of preparation on it, that made it lay down?
A Oh, to make it lay down, maybe. I
