(Testimony of A. C. Johnson)
Mr. Belin.
From one Monday to the following Monday, is that right?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Now, with regard to this one night that he wasn't there. Were there any telephone calls for him on November 21?
Mr. Johnson.
Not that I know of.
Mr. Belin.
Did he ever say why he was going home? Did you ever know ahead of time that he was going to Irving that night?
Mr. Johnson.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever see him after the morning of November 21?
Mr. Johnson.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Is there anything else that you can think of that might be relevant or important?
Mr. Johnson.
No; I can't think of anything else because, like I. say, I didn't really know the man.
Mr. Belin.
Is Johnny's Cafe the one that you say you and your wife operate?
Mr. Johnson.
Johnson's Cafe.
Mr. Belin.
Johnson's Cafe?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes; 1029 Young Street.
Mr. Belin.
You own that? I mean, you operate it yourself as proprietor?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
You're kind of a real business man here. You rent a roominghouse, and you have a cafe, and you have carpenters. Anything else, Mr. Johnson?
Mr. Johnson.
Well, I have an apartment house and a little rental property.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know anything about the assassination or about Lee Harvey Oswald, or anything or anyone connected with Oswald or the assassination that you might think would be of help?
Mr. Johnson.
No; no. I don't.
Mr. Belin.
Since November 22, 1963, have you ever talked to your wife or Mrs. Roberts about Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Johnson.
Oh, yes. You know, we've discussed the thing and uh I suppose you'd say that we're just more or less in shock or something, knowing that he lived there and that a thing like that happened. It's just--and all the publicity of the thing, and so forth.
Mr. Belin.
Has Mrs. Roberts said anything further about her observations of Lee Harvey Oswald to you?
Mr. Johnson.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know where we can locate her at all to talk to her?
Mr. Johnson.
No; I sure don't.
Mr. Belin.
You got a letter, by the way, saying that we would be here to take the deposition?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Did Mrs. Roberts leave before she got that letter or after?
Mr. Johnson.
Why she left before. She's been gone for I guess 3 weeks, or maybe 4.
Mr. Belin.
Before we start taking-your deposition, you and I chatted briefly for a few minutes about your roominghouse, is that correct?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Is there anything you can think of that we talked about that we don't have recorded here on this deposition?
Mr. JOHNSON. No.
Mr. Belin.
In our conversation, did you just relate to me all you knew about it or did I try and lead you to say anything that wasn't the in any way?
Mr. Johnson.
No.
Mr. Belin.
You just told me----
Mr. Johnson.
I told you just what little I know about it.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else you can think of now?
Mr. Johnson.
That's about all I know about the man.
Mr. Belin.
One other question; I might ask you if you've ever seen the shirt--Exhibit 150? Did you ever see Oswald wearing, this, or don't you remember?
Mr. Johnson.
I don't remember. He did wear sports clothes.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything about the clothes he was wearing?
