Mrs. Garner.

Mr..LIEBELER. You never saw the person who came in the station-wagon that time?

Mrs. Garner.

I did not.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did your husband see that person?

Mrs. Garner.

Yes; my husband.

Mr. Liebeler.

At this time.

Mrs. Garner.

Yes; my husband saw her and spoke to her. I never did see her.

Mr. Liebeler.

He told you it was a lady, did he not?

Mrs. Garner.

Right.

Mr. Liebeler.

And the 'lady, from reading the newspaper, you and your husband assumed that this was Mrs. Ruth Paine of Irving, Tex.?

Mrs. Garner.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you yourself never met or talked to Mrs. Paine?

Mrs. Garner.

I never did.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you become aware of the fact that Oswald was employed during the time that he lived in your apartment? Did you know anything about his job?

Mrs. Garner.

When he rented the apartment he told me he was working at Reily Coffee Co. on Magazine, whatever you call it. It is a coffee company, and as far as I know I didn't think he worked there as long as he did, because he was always home, unless he worked at night.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did you learn that Oswald had been dismissed from the job, or no longer worked at Reily Coffee Co., if you ever learned that?

Mrs. Garner.

As I said, it seemed like when he rented the apartment, I didn't think he worked 2 or 3 weeks. Well, but I learned later he didn't get laid off until July 19, something like that, unless they changed shifts, because he was working in the day at first and I used to see him get off the bus in the evening coming home, but then after that I didn't see him any more. He was always sitting on the screen porch reading. He must have been working at night. He was always on the side porch, probably reading all the time.

Mr. Liebeler.

You say he read a lot?

Mrs. Garner.

He sure did.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you see at any time what he was reading?

Mrs. Garner.

Well, it always was books, like those pocket books and papers, real big books, regular books.

Mr. Liebeler.

You never saw the names of any of the books?

Mrs. Garner.

No; you couldn't get that near him.

Mr. Liebeler.

What else did he do with his spare time besides reading?

Mrs. Garner.

That's all I ever saw him do. To say if he ever went out or anything like that, he would go back and forth, catch the bus and go, and didn't stay long and come back. How many times he went out at night or anything like that, I don't know. I really couldn't tell you because I wasn't on that side.
The few times I did see him I just happened to be out there.

Mr. Liebeler.

You mentioned something about him wearing a bathing suit.

Mrs. Garner.

That's all he always wore, all the time. Always he had thongs on and yellow shorts, bathing trunks, and nothing on top walking around the yard like that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Also the Commission has been informed that Oswald spent a considerable amount of time spraying bugs or insects of one sort or another.

Mrs. Garner.

He did. He done that, yes. He was always around the back of the house where the bathroom window was, spraying some sort, and the screen porch he would spray.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever talk to him about this spraying activity of his?

Mrs. Garner.

No; I never did.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know whether your husband did?

Mrs. Garner.

No; he didn't. I don't guess he did; he never said anything about it, but there were plenty of ants and I guess that is why he was spraying. They always had a lot of ants, you know, arid roaches. I know they had a lot of roaches

Mr. Liebeler.

Cockroaches?

Mrs. Garner.

In that apartment, when they left.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he ever complain to you about them?
