Mr. Shasteen.

I know, personally three times I cut his hair and I know that the front guy cut his hair one time, Mr. Clover, and Mr. Law cut his hair one time and Buddy--he might have cut it one other time and if he did that would've made six.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall telling Agent Berry that in all this man had obtained six or seven haircuts at your shop?

Mr. Shasteen.

I told him it was possibly six or seven, you know, in other words--he didn't pin me down to just exactly--he wanted to know if I thought it was and I told him it could have been seven times.

Mr. Jenner.

Seven or eight?

Mr. Shasteen.

No; I believe---I don't believe he ever got eight haircuts in there I don't believe it could have been over seven.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, what I'm getting at is that the agent reports as you said that Oswald had obtained seven or eight haircuts at your shop.

Mr. Shasteen.

You see, I told him about the times I remembered and he said, "Could he possibly have been in here more than that?" And I said, "Sure he could have possibly been in here more than that, but to have an actual remembrance of him--I wouldn't."

Mr. Jenner.

But in any event, your present recollection, after thinking it through further, is that it was six, and it might even have been as few as five?

Mr. Shasteen.

It could have been five, but I personally know of five times he was in there and like I told him, he could have been in there two or three other times when I wasn't in there, because sometimes, it's not very often I do, but occasionally Mr. Law will open up in the morning and I won't be there right on time. Because, like I said, I went to a football game and that--there could have been other times that he came in that I wasn't there, but I asked Buddy did he ever remember cutting his hair and he said he thought he did cut it another time than the time---so if he did, there was six times, and of course, Mr. Glover, he doesn't keep up with whose hair he cuts as much as some of the others--he's not a friendly type guy, but Buddy said he might have cut his hair more than once.
The things that made us know when he cut his hair is like when Mr. Clover cut his hair, he went around and instead of using his back bar to look in the mirror and comb his hair, he went down to the one at the middle chair and just rudely pushed out of the way and he got up there and combed his hair and turned his water on, you know, and got some more oil and put on it, on his hair, and he didn't say thank you or excuse me or nothing. He just pushed in there those things make you remember.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he ever give you a tip?

Mr. Shasteen.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he ever give any of the other barbers a tip?

Mr. Shasteen.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it customary for your customers to give you a tip?

Mr. Shasteen.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Or customers to give your barbers a tip?

Mr. Shasteen.

Well, naturally, they get more tips than I do because I own the shop. It would be a very small percentage, because in a community like that they just expect to pay what the price is.

Mr. Jenner.

And no tips?

Mr. Shasteen.

No; you know, you might get 50 cents or a dollar a day--something like if somebody might pitch something up there and say, "Get you some coffee." It's not that type of a barber shop--it's not a hotel type or anything like that or a bus station type.

Mr. Jenner.

Did this man have any reaction to the haircuts you gave him?

Mr. Shasteen.

Well, instead of saying--I get tickled thinking about it--I don't mean it's funny, but it is irritating. I mean, it's funny since it's over, but he never did say, "That looks nice," or "That's all right." He would say, "Aw, that's pretty good that will do until I get another one or that will do for this time." He never did say, "That's a good haircut." I do remember him saying, "Take a 32d off of the temple." Well, you can't take a 32d off of a man's hair, you know.

Mr. Jenner.

He did come back then?
