of twelve white male individuals and asked if he could identify any of them as being the hijacker of Northwest Airlines flight, November 24, 1971. He looked at the photographs and provided the following information:
He picked a photograph of a white male wearing sunglasses, sweater, dress shirt and tie and bald as being an individual who looks very much like the hijacker. He advised that this individual's mouth, nose, ears and shape of face are identical to the hijacker.
He advised that the photograph he was shown by the FBI on April 22, 1972, at 1:30 a.m., of a white male standing in front of some stores and in a street scene is the photo- graph he feels best resembles the hijacker. In this other photograph he was able to see the individual's neck which he also uses as a point of identification.

These people are acquaintances, not close friends, but I would be in trouble whether right or wrong in this matter, if word came out that I thought of wrong-doing in this connection, so please protect me.
