Mr. Johnson.

It was along about--during the conversation with these---uh--men.

Mr. Belin.

Did she see his picture on television at the same time you did?

Mr. Johnson.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Did she say anything about him being O. H. Lee or not?

Mr. Johnson.

Uh--yes. We all--uh--were just discussing it, you know. And she told him--I believe she did--or my wife did. Said, "Well, that's the reason we. didn't understand who they were looking for--because we didn't know him as Oswald."

Mr. Belin.

All right. Who recognized his face on television first? You or Mrs. Roberts?

Mr. Johnson.

I believe I was the one best I remember.

Mr. Belin.

Was Mrs. Roberts looking at television at the same time you were-then, or not?

Mr. Johnson.

Well, we were all talking--talking, like I say, to the officers and so forth. And--uh--I believe though that she-was looking at it at the same time i was. My wife had just stepped out of the house with the officers.

Mr. Belin.

Now, what did Mrs. Roberts say about this man having been at the home earlier that day--this O. H. Lee, which they had identified as Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Johnson.

She just--uh--I believe she told .them that--he came in and got a little---uh--sport coat, or some-sort of a little coat, and slipped it on and went right back out. And she said that-she made the remark that he---said, "You must be in a hurry"--and he didn't say anything; went on out the door.
And the next thing we knew or heard of him was after Tippit was shot.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember anything else she said about Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to your home?

Mr. Johnson.

No. That's just about it.

Mr. Belin.

Could you describe Lee Harvey Oswald at all? What kind of a person was he?

Mr. Johnson.

Well, he was nice enough, I'd say, as a roomer because he always kept his room nice and he was very well- behaved. He didn't--uh---talk to anyone. He might speak to you when he came in and he might not. I suppose it was according to the room he was in, or something, I never did think too much about it--because uh--we have so many roomers anyway that I don't pay too much attention.

Mr. Belin.

Did he drink at all?

Mr. Johnson.

Not that I know of. I don't--if he ever did drink a bottle of beer, I never did know it; never did smell it, or anything.

Mr. Belin.

Did he smoke cigarettes--do you know?

Mr. Johnson.

I don't remember.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember if he was right-handed or left-handed?

Mr. Johnson.

[Pausing before reply] No.

Mr. Belin.

Did he stay out late at night or was he generally home relatively early in the evening?

Mr. Johnson.

He was home uh--usually right after work and just----I suppose he'd go out and eat or maybe to the washateria or somewhere 'like that. If he was ever gone any other than this--the night before the assassination, I didn't know it. It was after we had already gone to bed, if he did leave.

Mr. Belin.

What time did he leave for work in the morning, do you know?

Mr. Johnson.

I believe, around 7 :30, something like that. Now, I wouldn't be sure because we leave out real early and I was never there. But I--I think that they said--Mrs. Roberts, I believe, or some of them--said he left around 7:30. Now, I wouldn't say for sure.
Mr. BELIN, Do you know whether or not he took his lunch to work with him?

Mr. Johnson.

No; I don't.

Mr. Belin.

You don't know?

Mr. Johnson.

No.

Mr. Belin.

Is there a bus that goes by or near your house that goes near to where he worked?

Mr. Johnson.

The bus comes right by the house.
