E es mae a eg ee as At approximately 1i or 11:30 p.m., we arrived at a tourist court on Route 17 some 60 miles north of Charleston, South Carolina. We immediately oe . retired. We arose at approximately 7:30 or 6 a.m. on the following morning and proceded to Charleston, South Carolina and arrived there at approx- | imately 10:30 a.m. On this date, Burgess personally did the driving. Burgess registered at a hotel, the name of which I cannot recall, but this hotel is a large hotel on Main Street in Charleston and is directly across from @ large park which occupied practically an entire city block. Burgess appeared well acquainted with both Charleston and the hotel set-up. While he was registering at the hotel he met two women and three men who were obviously friends of his. The men were approximately the same build as Burgess and the women were in their 30's. Burgess told me that this group of individuals were all employees of the British Government. in the United States. I cammot give a me adequate description of the ind- ividuals because J had no opportunity to observe them for any length of time and no interest in them. in as much as I had spent eo much time with Burgess and due to the unfore- seen delays with car trouble and the Virginia State Police, it now became too late for me to attend the car auction in Jacksonville. Burgess paid me §35.00 for driving the car for him and purchased a ticket for me to return to Richmond, Virginia, where I would be able to attend a car auction, This ticket was purchased at # ticket agency in the basement of the hotel : et which Burgess registered. as nearly as I can recall, the price of the” ticket from Charleston, South Carolina to Richmond, Virginia was $12.
