Mr. Ball.

Did he eat in the evening after work?

Mrs. Johnson.

Yes; he did, most every afternoon.

Mr. Ball.

He ate where, in his room?

Mrs. Johnson.

Sometimes take it in his room, but he was just spotless with it.

Mr. Ball.

Did he eat in the kitchen with it sometimes?

Mrs. Johnson.

Occasionally, if there was no one in the kitchen, he would sit in the kitchen, but if there was anyone in there, he would take it in, his and every bit of that was put in the trash can. He never kept anything cluttered, never kept anything outside,. no papers, books, or nothing.

Mr. Ball.

Did you see him eat anything but lunch meat?

Mrs. Johnson.

I never did, just lunch meat, all he ever put in there and preserves, I think he had some preserves and milk; but he put about a half gallon of sweet milk in that box each day.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever see him eating his evening meal?

Mrs. Johnson.

Well, I don't think I had seen him but I have seen him come in and get the lunch meat and carry it into his room.

Mr. Ball.

Did he go out nights, any?

Mrs. Johnson.

I just really never did see that man leave that room.

Mr. Ball.

After he came back from work?

Mrs. Johnson.

Yes; he stayed very closely but he did tell me he would. be leaving to go home over weekends--no; he didn't say "home," he said I will leave to go to Irving over weekends and won't return until Monday."

Mr. Ball.

Was he gone almost every weekend?

Mrs. Johnson.

Every weekend but one and that was the weekend previous to the assassination.

Mr. Ball.

What did he do that weekend?

Mrs. Johnson.

Well, I actually didn't see him leave the house but I know he did because I heard some of the renters say they seen him leave and I also heard--remember something that he went to the rifle range I read he was at the rifle range.

Mr. Ball.

You say you did not see him leave. Were you there over the weekend?

Mrs. Johnson.

I surely was.

Mr. Ball.

But you did not see him leave?

Mrs. Johnson.

That's right.

Mr. Ball.

You say you heard some people say that; who said that?

Mrs. Johnson.

I have read.

Mr. Ball.

Don't tell me what you read.

Mrs. Johnson.

I actually read it in the newspaper; I just don't remember.

Mr. Ball.

Is there anybody that you know of at your house that you say saw Oswald leave the house the weekend before the assassination?

Mrs. Johnson.

I'm trying to think. I just don't believe that I remember anyone who said definitely that they seen him leave.

Mr. Ball.

Did anybody tell you that lived in your house there?

Mrs. Johnson.

They could come in and out that door and we never would notice it because the house is large and we stayed a lot in the back of the house.

Mr. Ball.

You mentioned rifle range. Where did you get information that Oswald went to a rifle range?

Mrs. Johnson.

I read it in the paper.

Mr. Ball.

Did anybody in your house tell you he went to a rifle range?

Mrs. Johnson.

No.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever see him go to a rifle range?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did he ever tell you he went to a title range?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir; that man never talked; that was the only peculiarity about him. He would never speak. If we would speak to him and some of the men renters he would speak to the housekeeper and I every time we would speak and we would speak. to him just most every time we would meet him and, of course, he would speak after we would speak, but he would come in and watch
television maybe 30, 40 minutes at a time and never speak to a man.

Mr. Ball.

He would watch television sometimes?

Mrs. Johnson.

Yes,. sir watch television, with the other men renters and he
