Mr. Hubert.

You are not under any charge right now?

Mr. Litchfield.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

You Say you are married; when were you married?

Mr. Litchfield.

I got married in 1961.

Mr. Hubert.

How did you support yourself between July 1963, and January 1964, when you were unemployed?

Mr. Litchfield.

My wife was working--my wife was working and I lived with her and my mother.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you attempt to get work?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes--that's one reason I left Dallas. The person who is division manager of Great Books that terminated me, falsified--the reason I was terminated, he accused me of something I did not do, and I couldn't prove it. It was my word against his. I couldn't prove it, and in January I had a chance to go to Houston to work for Great Books and I went there and I tried to use the name of Robert Field--I had made man-of-the-month for the Great Books organization of the whole United States, and my picture was in their magazine called the Phenix. And the division manager in Houston recognized me and checked it out and then 2 weeks later I had requested from this gentleman here about three orders for me to be paid off. He had said they did not clear, that there was no money involved and 3 weeks later through my bank here in Dallas, Bank of Services and Trust, it just so happens that the man's name is Charles Counter. He has his personal account there also, and I've got him on two counts of forgery right now. He took my paycheck, signed my name, and endorsed it over to him. I have the photostats from the bank and the photostats of the canceled cheeks that cleared the company.

Mr. Hubert.

But in any ease, the point I think you are making--that your opportunity to get with Great Books of the Western World in Houston was frustrated because of the fact that you had changed your name and they found out. That is, changed your name to the extent of leaving off the first syllable of your last name?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes, and the division manager there even talked to the president of the company and he said "No." So, I went to work for this bowling supply which is owned by F. M. Curtis and Mel Livingston and I told them my past record, and Mr. Curtis is a highway patrolman, he has an interest in the supply business and he said, "I'll give you a break," and I've been doing real good since. He just gave me a break.

Mr. Hubert.

You say you are a professional bowler?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you competed?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes; in 1960 and 1961 I did, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Tell us about that.

Mr. Litchfield.

Well, I bowled in the All-American here in Dallas, the PBA tour in 1961, I bowled in the Santa Fe Open in 1961 and I bowled in the small--when I say "small" I mean $3,000 to $5,000 total first place, singles and doubles tournaments.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you ever won any prizes?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes, I have won prizes but I have never won the first place--no.

Mr. Hubert.

What is the most that you have won?

Mr. Litchfield.

$750.

Mr. Hubert.

Where was that?

Mr. Litchfield.

Ardmore, Okla.

Mr. Hubert.

Ardmore, Okla.?

Mr. Litchfield.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

When?

Mr. Litchfield.

1961.

Mr. Hubert.

About what part of the year--what tournament was it?

Mr. Litchfield.

It's called the Ardmore Classic. I think they run it from about May to about August. It's 8 games across 16 lanes, handicapped from 2 to 10.

Mr. Hubert.

You won $750--which was not first place, but what?

Mr. Litchfield.

About eighth place.
