Mr. WHALEY. I am trying to find Beckley, the green light changed from
red to green on Beckley, right here is an intersection; Zangs Boulevard
goes on up, and Beckley turns off.
Mr. BALL. Here is Neches right here.
Mr. WHALEY. Let me see where Neches is, is that right? Yes, that is it.
This is the intersection right there.
Mr. BALL. We put an "X" there.
Mr. WHALEY. That is where he got off.
Mr. BALL. That is where you dropped your passenger, is that right?
Mr. WHALEY. That is--as far as I can see that is Neches.
Mr. BALL. That is Neches, that is Beckley.
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir; that is right, because that is the 500 block of
North Beckley.
Mr. BALL. Now, we will mark the beginning of your trip on the large map
as "Y", and where you dropped your passenger as an "X".
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. "Y" is the corner of Lamar and Jackson, and "X" is the corner
of Neches and Beckley.
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. O.K.
Can you tell me what distance that was?
Mr. WHALEY. Well, it was 95 cents on the meter, the meter starts off at
45 cents, then it goes four-tenths of a mile and it clicks a dime which
would be 55, then a dime every four-tenths of a mile after that and it
was almost ready to click a $1.05 when it stopped, so I imagine that
would be 55 cents, would be eight-tenths of a mile and then after the
first 45 cents it runs 25 cents a mile, because it gets a dime every
four-tenths.
Mr. BALL. So you had 95 cents?
Mr. WHALEY. 65 cents would be three, four-tenths, would be 1 mile and
two-tenths. 75 would be one mile and six-tenths. 85 would be one--would
be 2 miles. 95 would be 2 and four-tenths, almost ready to click.
Mr. BALL. What do you give them for 45 cents?
Mr. WHALEY. Four-tenths of a mile.
Mr. BALL. Four-tenths of a mile?
Mr. WHALEY. It goes four-tenths of a mile.
Mr. BALL. Five clicks after the first?
Mr. WHALEY. 45 cents.
