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 been marked as Exhibit 2 on this deposition is similar to or different from the string that was used to tie this package up when you saw it in the garage, if you remember?

Mr. Paine. I don't remember exactly. I think this is a very good candidate again. I remember thinking it was wrapped in a twine, by which I meant it was not wrapped in a cotton, tight wound expensive cotton, string. I didn't think it was wrapped, didn't have in mind the manila type or sisal type. This is the right strength. I can't actually remember whether it was or not.

Mr. Liebeler. It appears to be similar?
