(Testimony of M. F. , Sr. Tobias)

Mr. Tobias.
and I don't jump into a man and a woman's fighting," which I don't. If he hurts her bad, then I'll have to take it up, but not until, so he knocked a window out of the back door.
Mr. Jenner.
When was that, when did that occur?
Mr. Tobias.
Sir?
Mr. Jenner.
When did that occur?
Mr. Tobias.
While he was living there along toward the last. I think it was the last month he was there.
Mr. Jenner.
How did that come to your attention?
Mr. Tobias.
Well, I was going by there---and, I cleaned the halls, and I was sweeping out the hall and I seen the window was broken and I spoke to him about it and he said, "I'll get it in" and he never did get it in.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he tell you how it happened?
Mr. Tobias.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he have any covering up over it?
Mr. Tobias.
He got to fighting so much around there that I told the man that owned it, Mr. Jurek, so him and his wife went over there one night and told him that he was making too much noise with their fighting and they had to quit or move, so they moved.
Mr. Jenner.
You found this fellow pretty close-mouthed and laconic?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes; he was--he didn't say nothing to nobody.
Mr. Jenner.
On the other hand, you found her to be pleasant, neat and a delightful young lady?
Mr. Tobias.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
A good mother?
Mr. Tobias.
She came over too, when he came over to use the telephone.
Mr. Jenner.
. When was that--do you remember a particular incidence?
Mr. Tobias.
Oh, well, one time yes--somebody by the name of George called.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you answer the phone on that occasion?
Mr. Tobias.
No; mother answered it and I don't hardly ever answer the phone because I can't hear good and this fellow wanted Oswald and she asked him, I understand, who it was and she said it was George and I went over and told Oswald that he was wanted on the phone and they came over there and they both talked and they both talked in their language.
Mr. Jenner.
You heard his end of the telephone conversation, did you?
Mr. Tobias.
No; you couldn't--because they talked in their language.
Mr. Jenner.
You heard him, is all I asked you?
Mr. Tobias.
All I could hear--I could hear him talking but I didn't know what they were talking about.
Mr. Jenner.
You were present in the room, is all I mean.
Mr. Tobias.
Yes; we were there.
Mr. Jenner.
And you heard him speak over the telephone?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And he spoke in some foreign tongue?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Which you couldn't understand?
Mr. Tobias.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
And the whole conversation was in this foreign tongue?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes; they both talked.
Mr. Jenner.
You didn't hear the other fellow on the other end?
Mr. Tobias.
Oh, no.
Mr. Jenner.
You assumed that he was likewise talking in the same language?
Mr. Tobias.
I imagine so---yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you curious about that?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes--I didn't like it, because when anybody says anything, I like to know what they are talking about.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you say anything to him about it?
Mr. Tobias.
No; because it's a private phone and I pay my own phone bill, and I don't figure it's up to the people in the apartments to be using my phone all the time, and we let him understand that.
Mr. Jenner.
You did?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes.
