Ray,
Who were the witnesses who said that he was wearing two jackets? There were some who thought that the shirt he had on looked like a jacket, but I'd never heard of any who said he had two jackets on.
William Whaley said that the passenger in his cab was wearing two jackets....
I suspect that ol bull shippin Whaley was deeply regretting the tall tale he had created for his cabbie buddies....By making the outrageous statement about his passenger wearing all that clothing he hoped they would dismiss him....
