JA:
Mr. SEWELL, let me ask you before you go any further, did
you get a look at the proposal that he had? Did you read
it?
FS:
Oh yes, I had to okay it for him.
JA:
Did you notice any names on it?
FS:
Yes, he had one name one time, and if I remember, it was
a Cuban name as far as I can remember that. And then
this thin man with his hair a little long, who looked like
he might need a meal, a little skinny, said you better
put my name down there because I'm the man with the money.
He was going to handle the money.
JA:
Did this man say that in your presence?
FS:
Yes.
JA:
What did this man look like?
FS:
Well he looked - he was about probably 5' 6 or 7",
probably weighed at that time about 140 lbs -145, and he
wasn't dressed the best. He wasn't sloppy, he was neat,
clean but his hair was long.
JA:
Now let me ask you this Mr. SEWELL, was he accompanied
by anybody else at this time?
FS:
Yes. The man with the Cuban accent and looked like a
Cuban.
JA:
Can you describe this man?
FS:
Heavy set, wavey hair, kind of olive complexioned, very
technical and well-educated. More.éducated than the other
man.
JA:
What do you mean by "technical"?
FS:
Well, he asked me interesting facts about these vans that
I didn't even know myself. It shows that he was well
read and knew something about mechanics and that he come
over there well versed to find out what he was buying, or
bidding on.
JA:
Do you recall the name that he gave?
FS:
No, I can't remember now.
JA:
Do you feel that that name was written down on the bid?
FS:
It was written on the bid, I know.
JA:
Were both of the names written down on the bid?
FS:
To my memory, yes.
