Ont ofh, besidosQ
also afforded polygraph interviews, with polypxaphlcally favorable results.
It Is to be understood that these teste administered by this as interpreter did not involve Interrogation in any way.
They were merely polypraphic testings, and thle examiner, to the best of hie

knowledge, has with great caution narked those when he considered to bc unfavorable.
The conditions under which the testavon are as follows!
a farmhouse in the hills above
wooden rocking chair waa usedoly graphic chair. This exaainer wasewat be would beew chair, but this uae never done. The rockinn chair was so fixed that it couldn't rock, of coarse.
The only information on the people riven to tne exaainer was from the PliQ'e, executed by tha men themselves.
The men, upon entering the polygraph room, wore asked to put down their weapon, which iaocked revolver, h$nd take the test. Alnoet every man waa thus armedun. All the men were tense and rather araprehenslve. The men were not told that lt wouldolygraph test. All they were told was that the Colonel had sent then up to talk to ne.
This examiner and Mr.unhappily did not achieve a
com on ground of understandinc. This examiner feels that abetween Ir.and himself is ouch that tills examiner
would not prefer to work with Ki in any future polygraphic exam-
inations, if at all possible. This exam'-ner also feels.
probably has tee same viewpointhie exa'-iner. Thef amenta nave coen given verbally toand u
t JJ . e cauae of tliia disturbance is very likely the fault of both of ue.
locined to leave on lYiday,h of March, thle
exfl-iiner had no rooourac but toaa interpreter. With
tne faot in mind thatleftthie examiner felt
that he should bettor go along with sone of tho demands of
andand to polygraph more than the autliorised two persons
per day. This examiner vas in accord with the viewpoint of
aridthe quicker the work is done, tbe better it is.
Thie examiner wishes to point out that his relations witi.
were most cordial,and there were no conflicts whatsoever.
