Mr. Hubert.

What Lynch do you know?

Mr. Litchfield.

I know a Donald Lynch from school.

Mr. Hubert.

Is he in Dallas?

Mr. Litchfield.

I believe so.

Mr. Hubert.

How long has it been since you have seen him?

Mr. Litchfield.

High school.

Mr. Hubert.

I see---that is to say about 10 or 12 years ago?

Mr. Litchfield.

Roughly--that name doesn't sound familiar.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know a person by the name of Earlene Roberts?

Mr. Litchfield.

Earlene Roberts--I don't remember whether I know her or not. Closely, I don't--I could have dated her or seen her, but closely, I don't remember.

Mr. Hubert.

I'll put it this way, when I mention the name of Earlene Roberts, do you associate it with anybody you know?

Mr. Litchfield.

Well, I used to go out quite a bit in my life, and I went with a number of people, and I was thinking that I dated one time a girl named Earlene, but I don't remember her last name that's why I stopped and hesitated.

Mr. Hubert.

And that's the person whose image came to your mind when I mentioned Earlene Roberts?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know that Earlene Roberts, that I am talking about, is the sister of Bertha Cheek?

Mr. Litchfield.

If she's her sister, I was trying to think if I ever met Bertha's sister. I talked to her on the phone once. Bertha told me she had two sisters, I believe, wait a minute--Earlene Roberts is the one that lives in California, I believe, I believe it is, and Bertha went out to see her, may, be, when Bertha went out to California 4 or 5 days on some business, and then I was helping her remodel the home over there and painting then, and I think I had to call her and I think Earlene Roberts was the person I called in California, I think.

Mr. Hubert.

You called the person in California for Cheek?

Mr. Litchfield.

To talk to Bertha when she was out there.

Mr. Hubert.

That was when?

Mr. Litchfield.

Maybe October--maybe November.

Mr. Hubert.

It was after you were negotiating with her?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes, but I don't remember the exact date. I knew that name sounded real familiar.

Mr. Hubert.

Bill DeMar, or have you heard of him?

Mr. Litchfield.

You will have to associate it with something for me.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, he was an MC at Jack's Carousel Club.

Mr. Litchfield.

Well, I don't know that man. I saw him-he did a song or something while I was there, but I don't know him, if that's who it is--I don't know him.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you remember the story in the Press after Ruby shot Oswald that he said that he had seen him at the Carousel?

Mr. Litchfield.

I never knew of that--I never knew that.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you been interviewed by anybody of the Commission's staff other than myself?

Mr. Litchfield.

No, sir; the only people I have talked to is the Dallas Police force and to two FBI agents, and I didn't have any knowledge that you would talk to me until yesterday. They called long distance for me and he called me this morning-- I bowl in a scratch league on Thursday night and he told me I had to be here at room 301 at 3 p.m.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, we pushed it up a little bit for you.

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes, Mr. Sorrels called me this morning and asked me if I could make it earlier, and I said "I will leave on the flight 11:45 and I am booked definite at 5:15 going back and on a standby on this one here."

Mr. Hubert.

Well, you can make the 5:15 now, because you are through right now.

Mr. Litchfield.

Thank you very much. I enjoyed it. I will get to see my wife for a while.

Mr. Hubert.

Thank you very much.
