Mr. Stombaugh. Yes, sir; this was loosely wrapped around the blanket at this point. From an examination of the blanket itself and these creases, it was apparent that this string had been tied around the blanket while something was inside this blanket, and the string had been tied rather tight in order for these creases to have remained in the blanket.
Mr. Eisenberg. In other words, the creases remained in the blanket although there was no object in it when you received it——
Mr. Stombaugh. Correct.
Mr. Eisenberg. Which would account for the creases, is that correct?
Mr. Stombaugh. That is correct.
Mr. Eisenberg. And you therefore deduced there had been an object in the blanket preceding your examination?
Mr. Stombaugh. That is correct.
Mr. Eisenberg. Did you notice anything else about the blanket which you would like to relate, Mr. Stombaugh?
Mr. Stombaugh. The blanket exhibited much wear.
Mr. Eisenberg. We are just talking now about the shape, of course. We will be getting into composition later.
