Representative Ford. Where was his hand when you saw it, if you can recollect it?
Mr. Whaley. Well, just moving. You know you catch any bright object, why you notice it, that is how I noticed it. He was just moving his hand around. When the old lady stuck her head in the door and asked me to call her a cab, why he reached over to the door to open it like he told her she could have that one but she decided that she would wait for the next one because he already had that one. And that is when I saw it, sir.
In the picture, I believe, I don't think he had it on in that picture in the paper the next morning.
Representative Ford. This is something you clearly noticed while he was riding in the car with you?
Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir; I noticed it; yes, sir. I always notice watchbands, unusual watchbands, and identification bracelets like these, because I make them myself. I made this one.
Representative Ford. In other words, you have a particular interest in them?
Mr. Whaley. Yes, I particularly notice things like that.
Representative Ford. Did you notice anything unusual about it?
Mr. Whaley. No, sir, it was just a common stretchband identification bracelet. A lot of them are made of chain links and not stretchbands. Stretchbands are unusual because there is very few of them.
Representative Ford. In other words, this was an unusual band?
