(Testimony of Colin Barnhorst)

Mr. Jenner.
All right, we will retain them Do you have other papers?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes; these are the daily report sheets you requested. This is October 1963. These are for the specific dates at the top.
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Barnhorst has now produced and handed me----
Mr. Barnhorst.
You see, the carbon was in the thing backwards when it was typed, so, they didn't do it over on the third copy, they just stapled a sheet be hind it and attached it to the copies you read it through from the top because an error was made in putting it in the typewriter.
Mr. Jenner.
The front of each of these two sheets, for the purpose of identification in the record consist of two sheets stapled together back to back and in the typing the sheet was reversed and must be read from back to front. The first, or facing sheet, is marked Hulen Exhibit No. 12, and it is entitled "Resident's Hall Report, Thursday, October 3, 1963." The left-hand column is headed "Permanent- in." The right-hand column is headed "Transients-out continued." This records, as I look at it here, the registrations in and out on October 3, 1963, is that correct?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes; approximately It may include one or two who came in just the night before or who checked out, or men who would have been there and checked out the following day--would be on the next day's report.
Mr. Jenner.
Is there an entry on this sheet with respect to Lee Oswald?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes, room 601, on the "Transients-out," and I believe on the "Transients--in," I'm not sure. On this one it is the "Transients-in," room 601. He isn't on this sheet on "Transients-out." I don't recall it.
Mr. Jenner.
Room 601--and he is shown checked in by Mr. Barker?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And from your knowledge of the hours Mr. Barker worked, that heck-in was either late in the day or early in the evening of October 3?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
The second set of papers you have produced consists of three sheets, each entitled, "Resident's Hall Report." They are dated at the top right-hand column as October 4, 1963, October 15, 1962, and October 19, 1962. They are marked respectively, Hulen Exhibits Nos. 13, 14, and 15.
Mr. Barnhorst.
Hulen Exhibit No. 13 is for the day following October 3, 1963.
Mr. Jenner.
That would be the same report for the following day, and is there an entry on this that relates to Mr. Oswald?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes, sir; "Transients-out, Room 601."
Mr. Jenner.
Under "Transients-out," Room 601, appears the name. "Lee Oswald." Then, at the end of the line there there is a word that is apparently a name (spelling) E-v-a----
Mr. Jenner.
Who is that?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Mrs. Eva Marshall.
Mr. Jenner.
What does she do?
Mr. Barnhorst.
She is the day clerk. She was probably substituting at the time for the clerk who quit.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, and this indicates then that he checked out on the 3d of October and that the lady you have identified handled that checkout?
Mr. Barnhorst.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And the fact that she did it would indicate to you what, as to the time of day he checked out?
Mr. Barnhorst.
It would probably be morning, but it also could be early afternoon.
Mr. Jenner.
Exhibits 14 and 15 cover the period October 15---19, 1963?
I think that's all we have with respect to you. You overheard what I said to Mr. Hulen with regard to reading the deposition. That applies to you as well. If you will check with Mr. Sanders, this ought. to be ready next week. It is rather late in the week to have it ready. You may sign the deposition if you wish or you may waive that. If there are any errors in it, we would like know. Thank you very much.
Mr. Barnhorst.
OK.

Mrs. Arthur Carl (Gladys J.) Johnson
