HARTLEY displayed a 12" surgical scar in the lower lumbar region of his back, stating that he had had two vertebrate and one disc removed from his back in 1960, and was unable to do any real strenuous exercises. He advised he had gone through jump training at Ft. Benning, Georgia, during 1945, and had not jumped out of an airplane since he left the military. HARTLEY stated he would have a difficult time jumping off a three-foot step in view of his back condition and would not attempt to do any jumping for fear that he would seriously injure himself.

HARTLEY advised he was not in the Seattle area during November, 1971, and emphatically denied participating in any aircraft hijacking, stating he had been in the mining business for approximately ten to eleven years and did very little flying. HARTLEY further advised that he was not a qualified pilot and knew little about aeronautics.

HARTLEY stated he did not wish at this time to furnish fingerprints, advising that he was arrested in 1969, in Los Angeles, California, carrying a concealed weapon and that the FBI should have a record of his prints. HARTLEY was informed that to enable the FBI to fully eliminate him as a suspect, the Agent would like to have him furnish major case fingerprints. HARTLEY advised he would discuss this procedure with his attorney and if his attorney agreed, he would furnish the prints at a later time. HARTLEY requested that the Bureau verify his alibi of having a broken arm at the time the hijacking occurred.

During the conduct of the interview, HARTLEY was very evasive about any specific dates or his mining activities.
