Mr. Stombaugh. No, sir; I cannot think of anything else at this time.
Mr. Eisenberg. In your opinion, would the blanket have made a secure package wrapped in the way and manner that it appeared to you?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes, sir; it would have. With the crease at fold "A," had it been folded down, it would have made a very snug and secure package containing some type of item in it.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now, Mr. Stombaugh, was there anything about the string, Paine Exhibit 2, which would make an identification possible?
Mr. Stombaugh. No, sir; the string is just common white cotton string. It is found in most stores throughout the country, and used for, well, many uses. There is nothing distinctive about the string itself which could be traced as to manufacturer or any definite use it was made for.
Mr. Eisenberg. Any distinctive accidental markings on it?
Mr. Stombaugh. No; I found none.
Mr. Eisenberg. What kind—was it tied in a knot?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes, sir; it was tied in a granny knot, and also a bow knot.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you illustrate that for us? You are holding up a piece of string?
