(Testimony of Colin Barnhorst)
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Barker signed the receipt of payment of $3.25, for this day on October 3 and 4?
Mr. Barnhorst.
It was $3.25 then?
Mr. Jenner.
It says $3.25.
Mr. Barnhorst.
It should have been $3.25, you see.
Mr. Jenner.
And Mr. Barker apparently charged him out on the 18th of October 1962, and-he-paid $2.25 for the last day of that 4-day stay in October 1962. Mr. Burge apparently checked him in because the receipt is signed by Mr. Burge, on the 15th of October.
Mr. Barnhorst.
If they still do the same thing as they did then that would pinpoint the time when he came in. Mr. Burge relieves us in the evening for our lunch hour, which is usually half an hour and that falls invariably between 5 and 7 because the cafeteria closes at 7:30.
Mr. Jenner.
So, with Mr. Burge checking the man in, that would indicate that was at night or in the evening?
Mr. Barnhorst.
In the evening.
Mr. Jenner.
It would be sometime after 4 in the afternoon?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Sometime after 5, because he wouldn't come in until 5.
Mr. Jenner.
And if Mr. Barker either checked somebody in or checked somebody out, that would appear, wouldn't it?
Mr. BARNHORST. It depends on the day of the week. If it was on the weekend, it would be between 8 and 4. It would--if it was on a weekevening, I mean a weekday, it would be in the evening, That's presuming, of course, I'm pretty sure he worked the same shift then as he does now. Of course I don't know.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, October 15, 1962, was a Monday?
Mr. Barnhorst.
A Monday--Well, then, that meant that he was very possibly working the shift I am working now, because he's off Monday and Tuesday now, but that would still be in the evening. I am presuming that he wasn't working full time for us then.
Mr. Jenner.
But if he did work, it was at night?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes. I'm pretty sure it would be. I don't think he was ever a day clerk.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. I appreciate very much your coming in. You have been helpful and if you will relate to Mr. Hulen my desire for these additional records, photostatic copies,' I would appreciate it. He said he was going to return about 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Barnhorst.
All right.
Mr. Jenner.
If he has those, you might speak with him--you see he is in the health department.
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I don't know just how familiar he is with these records, but he may be able to explain them.
Mr. Barnhorst.
He might and he might not be. He probably might not be familiar with the midnight reports. We make these daily reports where his name would be at the desk.
Mr. Jenner.
Where the guest's name would appear at the desk?
Mr. Barnhorst.
I beg your pardon?
Mr. Jenner.
The name of the guest.
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes; it would be. on a permanent form. We have a sheaf of papers--we have a stack this high [indicating] and it goes back, that goes back to Noah and if we had Noah, it would be on that. It had everybody's else's name on there and it would go back oh, I know of course it covers Oswald because I saw it on there.
Mr. Jenner.
You actually saw it?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
As a matter of fact as late as last night?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes; and I remember it was "Lee H." Now, it doesn't necessarily mean on that report that the card was filled out "Lee H." It could have been filled out in the whole name, we abbreviate the names for space.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, that room. 601, was the room he, occupied on the 3d of October 1963, or was it the room he occupied in 1962?
