~~31 Got a...got a feeling of familiarity..uh..similarity..
uh..got a..uh..a barren..uh..wall with..uh..feeling
of..uh..two platforms. One above the other on..uh..
on a right wall. A..uh..their chair dropped type of..uh
..bed platforms, I think. Sleeping platforms. A metal
fixture that attracted them..uh..There's..uh..on the
other side of the wall tt~ere's..uh..on the other end
there's a...uh..something that makes a notch out of
the room....a walled thing or a....partition thing and
..feel that..uh..about half way up on the back part
of this is a square that lets in light. [3ut, everything
is along the right side.In the foreground I think there
is a table..uh..like thing. Qut the left side of this
room is nothing in there. I thinl~..uh..this place is
opposite where I was before and down two or three cells.
It appears to be..uh..farther down the hall from the
staircase. I think tf~ere is..uh..I'm getting a feeling
for the end of the hall, now. I think it is..uh..one
in from the end. The wall ending the stair....the
hallway here is just a blank brick wall..I feel that's
a rather large...unusually large stones, but.....

OK. Give me a minul:e or two while I focus on
Needham.
I have..uh..another name Harold..uh..coming to me
as though Harold is another person here. I..uh..
had been..uh..been..something. I am on the top bunk
.with w.ohever is on the top bunk. I will try to find
out.
This is a much longer ...has curly dark hair..uh..
he has..uh..(mumbling) the feeling..uh..of a..uh..
dark mustache, and that..uh..some reason had the
feeling of .a gold crown on a upper tooth on the left
side of his jaw. Uh..sort of full face. In imagining
he and Needham togetf~er I feel this guy is about the
same height but is possibly 40 pounds heavier...
stockier built than Needham...but is not fat...is
rather more solid. Possibly an inch shorter, but only
an inch.
~~6.5 Is there anything else you can tell me about him?
#31 Let me work for a short while.
4k6.5 OK. Just relax. Take your time and concentrate on
him.
~~31 No. I can't get much more.
~~6.5 OK. That's good. ~~31 I want you to focus on his
face one last time. Get the image of his face so that
you will be able to recognize him later. When you've
done that let me know and ti~en we will move on.

OK. Walk by those cubicles ~~31, and look inside them.
Don't go in. Just look inside them and tell me if

why he's on the top. But it's about face height to h.im.

down to the far left and, where you saw that one
man .sleeping alone on the bottom bunk. Go into that
room and describe him to me.

leave this building, go outside, go up to about
feet and look around and tell me how I can find this
building. How I can locate this building.
I gat a..uh..shot of a..uti..four or five
traffic circle which is within a couple of hundred
meters of ,this place. I feel there are one or two
..uh..now I am feeling that there is..uh..one or two
roads off of this road between the place and this
traffic circle or circular thing. 13ut t(~at they 're
all T intersections and that this road seems to
intersect the traffic loop figure thing at a weird
angle. It's more tangential as opposed to 90 degrees.
It sloppily intersects. I keep seeing this tangent
line instead of this straight shot out and..uh..the
reason that these streets are all T intersections is
that there is a sizeable closed off fence. I see a
feeling of black spiked metal fence across the street,
that like encloses a park or a big green space of
some size.- That is a big place. [3ig enough to prevent
two or three crossings from occurring.
~~6.5 Can you tell me what the building looks like from
above? Tell me what the building looks like from up
above.

I got a...I am star{.ing to lose my focus here, but,
I got it before. It's a..uh..I had a feeling of a
center...a long center peaked line and then..like
the shape of an airplane. Because back from this
peaked line are two flat roof apendages on each side
of it., which are rather sizeable, and so, it looks.
like a center line and two wings sticking off of it.
It sits right on the street corner...the notch in the
building down by the left side of it has got some sort
of a plaza in it. I had the feeling of a park plaza.
Some sort of a thing sitting in the middle of it.
Some sort of a weird thing.
~~6~.5 OK. L~Je have been going For a pretty long time. Why
don't you relax and take a minute or so, and then we'll
try to do .some drawings.
I'll put this thing on pause. OK. 4Je have had a
chance to relax here; and now why don't we go ahead
with the drawings.
~k31 OK. Now the first impression I had put on the tape
was that I was a familiar place but there was an
interesting difference about the place. Being from
my recollection that everything was reversed, ok.
It was that everything was reversed. That is that th
bunk, or what I perceived to be a double bunk, was
.hanging from the right wall and not from the left wall.
Like this.~...looking at it from the very end on.....
and then, here in tt~e foreground was a large....or not
a large.....was a small table. I perceived...or I felt
that the small table had something on it like a lousy
candle....huh....or a candle holder of some kind. Not
necessarily burning, but.....like this....and that the
bunks were in the background. .What have I done to the
perspective, here? Screwed up the perspective, is what
I've done. There. There's a corner of the room down
there. That's more like there. But, this thing is not
so big. Let me reduce that in size. That's my problem.
Little cubicle in the back, right. f~1ore like Lhat.
There we go. That's more like it. I'll get this right,
yet, There. That's the cubicle. Like that.(Mumbling)
inclosed. These are tf~e diFferences between this and
an ea~:?licr session.
I had the feeling that this cubicle was not..uh..
permanently enclosed, but that it was like draped off.
As though it was in the French crapper from an earlier
session, and that the prisoners had complained about
the lack of privacy and therefore, tf~ey had been
provided-with some sort of a curtain that would sheild
them. I got the idea that that was not a permanent

thing, but that had just bean ...popped in there.
A room within a room, ok. But the reversal effect is
that.....let me make that a little bigger, like that...
these bunks were on the right side, ok, as opposed to
having been on the left side which makes them opposite
pf, what my familiarity would have said that they were.
Barred window, austere type of a place. I had the
same feelings of colci.....not frigid cold ....but cold
.and dampness....uh....austere...nothing hanging on the
walls....no....no what you would expect....nothing
_like ornamentation or window....uh...picture frames or
mirrors....or anything like that, ok. Just straight
.. .clean.
OK. Now, in this 'room you described one individual
that waa in there with Paul Needham.
. #~31 Right.
~~b.5 OK. And I showed you some photos......
~F 31
This is the guy I sa.....I felt he was....had dark,
dark curly hair, he had a full round face. I didn't
get any feeling for him wearing glasses, or anything
like that....uh....that he was about medium size.
f?1aybe an inch shorter, but maybe 40 pounds heavier
than Needham and a gold capped tooth on the left upper..
I just had this feeling of gold in his mouth..where
I was looking.
~~6.5 OK. So I showed you some photos and the one I'm holding
now is the one that you selected as being the .....ok
Let it be noted then that the name on the back of this
photo is h1ichael H. Howland. OK.
~F31 Well, at this time I was asked....trying to communicate
with Neenan or Neednam or whatever his name is...who it
.was that was with him and that's when I said Harold....
I had the name Harold come in...ok.
~~b.5 (Not understandable)....his middle initial.
d~31 I don't know.
46.5 Yeah. We'll have to check that out.
~~31 So, anyway that was that.
~~6.5 That's correct.,,ok.

~~31~ - OK. That's where I was on that....ok, that's 1.
#6.5. OK.
~~31 ~ Oh, and I had.....oh, ok, I'll put..I'll put.....
What is his name? Needham. Needham there, and
Needham said Harold was with him. Harold being the
guy on-the top bunk, all right.
~~6.5 '. OK.
~~31 Needham didn't actually say that but that's when I
was asking .....that's what happened.
~~6..5 I understand.
All right. Uh....two. hJhat did I get then? Two
was...uh..
~~6.5 First you started talking about the far side about
40 feet, you know, upstairs staircase.
~~31 Right. OK. I had a.....let's say....first of all I
put him....I thought that I was in the second to the
last on this side of the blank wall, ok. So what I'll
do is I'll draw the blank wall, here, ok, and, uh,
here's..here's brick wall. That's the feeling I had
...like that. [3i g, E3ig size bricks, ok. Now, inside
this next cell everything returned to what I perceived
to have been my original layout. Ok. All right....
little bit less perspective on this one. Ok, let me
fill in these things here. They returned to original
what I thought was my familiar....in other words..
what I'm saying, I looked across the hall....across the
hall is where I had been before and it's mirror image
reversal, ok.....almost mirror image reversal. I won't
try to figure it aut. I'm not even going to try to
figure it out. Anyway, here was....don't draw lines
when you got to draw something across it...there was
bunk there....there was bunk there...here was window
here....l~ere was square thing in the corner. there.....
