Mrs. Pitts.

she called me and says, "Yes." It is on TV and is a little, short, heavy man kind of bald-headed, I say, "Yes." And called me back and said where he lived, and sure enough, and I said, I knowed there was something wrong with that man. I didn't go on over there--- and was glad that I didn't go. No doubt when--went over there when he was talking the way he was talking he would turned around there and shot me.

Mr. Hubert.

Explain that a little bit. I don't think you have told us much about what he told you. As I understand your testimony he seemed a little vague, but, he told you to come on and clean but call before?

Mrs. Pitts.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Then, he told you that he thought he would be back by 2 o'clock?

Mrs. Pitts.

He told me be sure and call.

Mr. Hubert.

What was strange about that?

Mrs. Pitts.

Well, see, he asked me that two or three times, now, was I coming over, and what was I coming over there for, and I had to tell him, and told him that I was coming to work.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, it was several times, Mrs. Pitts?

Mrs. Pitts.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

That you had to identify yourself, as it were?

Mrs. Pitts.

Yes, sir; I told him who I was and told him, says, "I'm coming to clean." See, I had borrowed $25 from him a while back and paid him the money back, and I thought when he asked me did I want some money I--and says, "Oh, no; I don't want to borrow no money today. I am coming to clean." Told him coming to clean today. Is so--it's Sunday, you've always told me to wait until Tuesday and then Saturday, and back to Sunday, and I says, "And today is Sunday." And he says, "Oh." And I said----

Mr. Hubert.

He says, What?

Mrs. Pitts.

He says, "Oh,"--and I says to him, I says, "If you don't want me to come on, if you have got somebody--- company or something, I can wait and come tomorrow. I'll wait and come tomorrow if you say so."

Mr. Hubert.

Well----

Mrs. Pitts.

"No, you come now, but you call me."

Mr. Hubert.

Well, now, was there anything else peculiar about the conversation?

Mrs. Pitts.

Then, he didn't seem to know who I were at first. Turned and says to me, says, "Are you coming over here? What you coming over here for?" And I says, coming over to clean. I says, "Today is Sunday." He says, "well--I didn't seem to think that I would have to tell him that.
"Come over to clean I will leave the keys for you and come and start, and you can come on and clean," and I said, "Yes, sir." Well, then, I was getting arrangements made to start and he turned to me again and say, "What you
coming for?" And I said, "Well, I'm coming to clean and dust."

Mr. Hubert.

He said that several times?

Mrs. Pitts.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Also, some little sound in his voice you think?

Mrs. Pitts.

Yes, sir; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you say something about his being kind of rude, now, or rough?

Mrs. Pitts.

No; he hollered and something----

Mr. Hubert.

Hollered?

Mrs. Pitts.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Hollered? What do you mean?

Mrs. Pitts.

And in talking about these things, yes, sir, he says, "What you--what are you--what do you want?"

Mr. Hubert.

Now, when you-say a loud voice like you just raised your voice right now.

Mrs. Pitts.

"What do you want?" and I says, "What you want?" And he said, "Yes,"--said, "This is Elnora. I was coming to clean." He says, "Elnora? Who is Elnora?" Elnora Pitts. He mostly called me Eleanor.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he curse you or anything like that?

Mrs. Pitts.

No, sir; he didn't cuss.
