(Testimony of Edith Whitworth)
Mrs. Whitworth.
No; I wouldn't swear to it, but I'm pretty sure he told m the date at that time but the baby was 2 weeks old and I judge that he would have been in the store around the 4th, 5th, or 6th of November, because we were fixing to go to a ball game, this lady and I, and I have a son that plays football for Irving High School and we were going on to the football game and that's how come this lady to be in there. You know, we were planning to go together or get tickets to the football game and it had to be along in there--the first week in November.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, do you remember a specific football game that you were going to see; is that how you fixed the date as early in November?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you tell us what ball game that would have been?
Mrs. Whitworth.
It probably was Richland Hills that we were going to.
Mr. Liebeler.
Richland Hills was going to play who?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Irving, and we were going to Richland Hills--that's a Fort Worth team.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you made any efforts, since this question came up, to find out the exact date on which the Richland Hills team played the Irving team, did you go back and look it up?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I probably did at one time, but I couldn't tell you what the date was now, except that it was a Friday night. It was going to be on Friday and it was before that Friday. Now, Mrs. Hunter might be able to tell you that. I didn't go back and try to review anything before I come over here. At that time, you know, I knew what game it was, but I haven't reviewed it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did I understand you to say correctly that there was a friend of yours that was in the store at the time they were there?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
That was Mrs. Hunter?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; Mrs. Hunter.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did I also understand you to say correctly that Mrs. Hunter was there for the purpose of getting tickets to go to the football game?
Mrs. Whitworth.
We were planning a trip, you know, to this football game.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does Mrs. Hunter ordinarily come into the store?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; she did--I had just begun to know her, you know, and it all come about through school doings and all, and I usually got her tickets or she got my tickets when we were going to travel to a game or so.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you fix a day of the week any more specifically than you have as to when this might have occurred?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I couldn't--no; I couldn't.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did Mrs. Hunter come in usually on a particular day or did she just come in from time to time?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, she said she did--for some reason why or other, but to me, I couldn't fix any certain day, you know, working in the public like I did and all that. I couldn't, you know, not meaning anything at that time couldn't put a date on it, you know, what day she come or anything. Usually, the tickets would go on sale on a Tuesday or Wednesday, if they were going to travel to play, and I have my tickets to the home games, you know, and she could say what day it was, but I couldn't.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was this particular ball game going to be played at Richland Hills; is that right?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; it was.
Mr. Liebeler.
So you were talking about getting the tickets and were going on over to Richland Hills?
Mrs. Whitworth.
To this game.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you said Lee Oswald--the Oswalds were in your store on the weekend preceding the game?
Mrs. Whitworth.
It wasn't the weekend.
Mr. Liebeler.
During the week?
Mrs. Whitworth.
During the week.
Mr. Liebeler.
Right; during the week preceding the weekend on which Richland Hills played Irving.
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes.
