Mrs. Johnson.

I did not see him go out; I did not; no, sir.
(At this point Mr. Johnson left the room.)

Mr. Ball.

Let me ask you this: did he, that weekend, that was the weekend before the assassination, on a Saturday, make a trip to a place where they wash clothes?

Mrs. Johnson.

Well, I think that he did go across to that washateria. I think he did.

Mr. Ball.

Did you see him go any place, go out of the house except for that on that weekend?

Mrs. Johnson.

That's the only time and I had just forgotten that but I do remember he carried some clothes out of that house that morning and the washateria is right across the street, less than a block.

Mr. Ball.

But he left his room?

Mrs. Johnson.

And he wasn't gone long and I didn't see him return with any clothes but I do know he was gone just about long enough to do a wash.

Mr. Ball.

Did he watch television every evening?

Mrs. Johnson.

Not every evening but just every time he took a notion but maybe 95 percent of the time he would sit in his room.

Mr. Ball.

Did he have any visitors?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir; he never had a visitor.

Mr. Ball.

Do you ever remember him spending an evening away from home except for these times you told us about?

Mrs. Johnson.

Not an evening that I remember him being away but other than weekends he-would. He would leave on Friday mornings and return Monday evenings.

Mr. Ball.

Did he tell you when he rented your room where he was working?

Mrs. Johnson.

No; he didn't, but he did tell me he would be returning to Irving each weekend.

Mr. Ball.

Did he ever tell you where he was working?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did he ever tell you what his job was?

Mrs. Johnson.

No; he told me he was anxious to rent the room being on the busline and near his work and he didn't have a car and he would be returning to Irving.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever see him in the company of anyone?

Mrs. Johnson.

Never did see him in the company of nobody.

Mr. Ball.

Did he drink?

Mrs. Johnson.

No sir; no more than sweet milk.

Mr. Ball.

He never drink intoxicating liquor?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir; I don't believe he drank.

Mr. Ball.

You never saw him drink anything?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

You never saw him intoxicated?

Mr. Ball.

Did he smoke?

Mrs. Johnson.

I don't believe he did.

Mr. Ball.

Miss Earlene Roberts was your housekeeper at this time?

Mrs. Johnson.

Yes, she was.

Mr. Ball.

How long have you known her?

Mrs. Johnson.

I have known Mrs. Roberts, oh, I guess it was 6 years, something like that, 6 years.

Mr. Ball.

Where did you fist meet her?

Mrs. Johnson.

I hired her as a housekeeper.

Mr. Ball.

At 1026 North Beckley?

Mr. Ball.

Has she been working for you for that period of time?

Mrs. Johnson.

No, sir; I let Mrs. Roberts go a time or two, then I would hire her back.

Mr. Ball.

there some reason why you let her go?

Mrs. Johnson.

Well, she would just get to being disagreeable with renters and I don't know, she has a lot of handicaps. She has an overweight problem and she has some habits that some people have to understand to tolerate.
