Mr. BALL. You have to be general, I know that.
Mr. DULLES. Just your best recollection. If you haven't any, just tell
us.
Mrs. DAVIS. I just don't know.
Mr. BALL. Was he fat or slender?
Mrs. DAVIS. He was slender built, and not very heavy.
Mr. BALL. Was he a tall man, or a real short man, or average?
Mrs. DAVIS. Oh, he wasn't especially tall. I would say he was about
medium height or a little taller. I mean he wasn't extra tall.
Mr. BALL. Now, did you have some difficulty in identifying this No. 2
man in the showup when you saw him?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, they made us look at him a long time before they let
us say anything.
Mr. BALL. What about you? I am not talking about what you told them.
What was your reaction when you saw this man?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, I was pretty sure it was the same man I saw. When
they made him turn sideways, I was positive that was the one I seen.
Mr. BALL. I have no further questions.
Mr. BELIN. Thank you, Mrs. Davis.
Mr. DULLES. Did your sister-in-law go with you to the lineup?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. Did she make an identification?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. At the same time as you did?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. Did you see her identification?
Mrs. DAVIS. We didn't discuss it.
Mr. DULLES. I mean, but after she had made it, did you see what
identification she had made?
Mrs. DAVIS. Do you mean--I don't understand what you mean.
Mr. DULLES. Well, let me start over again.
Did you identify the man in the lineup before your sister-in-law?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. Before your sister-in-law?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir; I was the first one.
Mr. DULLES. All right.
Did your sister-in-law, to your knowledge, make the same identification?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir; she was there with me at the same time.
Mr. DULLES. She was standing with you. And she saw the identification
you had made?
Mrs. DAVIS. All I done was just lean over and tell the man.
Mr. DULLES. How did you make your identification? By pointing or
holding up your fingers.
Mrs. DAVIS. The man that was sitting next to me just asked me which one
I thought it was, and I leaned over and told him. And then he leaned
around me and asked her.
Mr. DULLES. He did what?
Mrs. DAVIS. He leaned around--he was behind me, and asked her.
Mr. DULLES. I see.
Mrs. DAVIS. I sort of set up where he could talk to her.
Mr. DULLES. And did you identify the man by number or by pointing?
Mrs. DAVIS. By number.
Mr. DULLES. Do you remember what number it was?
Mrs. DAVIS. It was number 2. From the left.
Mr. DULLES. Have you any questions?
Representative FORD. Did you whisper this information to the man behind
you?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, we were all sitting in a line, and he was sitting on
this side of me. He just leaned over and asked me which one I thought
it was.
Representative FORD. He was sitting on your right?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Representative FORD. And you turned to your right and told him?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Representative FORD. And your sister-in-law was sitting on your left?
Mrs. DAVIS. On the other side, yes.
Representative FORD. When you spoke to him, you were speaking away from
her?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Representative FORD. Did you speak in a loud voice or a whisper?
Mrs. DAVIS. No, sir; very quietly.
Representative FORD. You think your sister-in-law heard you say the
number?
Mrs. DAVIS. I don't know.
Mr DULLES. Mr. Attorney General, have you any questions?
Mr. CARR. Thank you, I do not.
Mr. MURRAY. I have no questions.
Mr. BELIN. I think the record should show that although the witness did
not receive the letter notifying her of our request for an appearance,
we mailed it to her last known address at 400 East 10th Street, and the
letter came back here. But the notice was mailed to the witness. It was
just that it was not forwarded to where she now lives in Athens.
Mr. DULLES. You had moved from this house where these incidents took
place?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Mr. DULLES. Off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. DULLES. You are excused. Thank you very much.
Mr. BALL. Our next witness is Mr. Ted Callaway.
