Representative Ford.

Do you keep records of the orders that are filled by each order filler every day?

Mr. Truly.

Not every day; no, sir. Occasionally we would double check on the employees, or the checker would count up the number and give me the number each employee filled in that clay, or several days in succession for a whole week.

Representative Ford.

Would you know what orders Oswald filled November 22d?.

Mr. Truly.

No, sir; I would not.

Representative Ford.

You would have no way of checking that?

Mr. Truly.

No. They would have been some orders that he filled the 21st that were not checked and out of the house on the 22d. And I could not tell how many he filled or when he filled his orders, no, sir.

Representative Ford.

When an order filler fills an order, does he make his initial or mark on--

Mr. Truly.

Yes, sir; he does. Up there where it says "L", which is layout, he puts his number, and then the checker puts his number under "C" when he checks the order and sees that it is all right, and sends it on for packing.

Representative Ford.

Well, it would seem to me that every order that was filled on a particular day by an order filler could be identified as to the individual

Mr. Truly.

You see, we don't always get out our orders the same day they are shipped. The order fillers fill lots of orders, and they are filling orders on up to quitting time in the afternoon, and those wouldn't go out until the next day, or sometime, if they get ahead of the checker. They don't put the date on them when they fill them.

Representative Ford.

What I am trying to find out--is there any way to trace by the orders that were filled by Oswald on the morning of November 22d as to whether or not in the process of filling orders he was taken to the sixth floor?

Mr. Truly.

No, sir; we could not tell whether he fired any orders that might be dated November 22d-- might have been filled--if they were dated November 22d and had Oswald's number on it, we would know that he filled those on November 22d. But if they were billed and dated on the 20th and 21st, and there was a number of those filled, we could not tell how many filled on the 22d.

Representative Ford.

Have you ever gone back through your orders for the--

Mr. Truly.

No, sir.

Representative Ford.

Just to take a survey?

Mr. Truly.

We have thousands and thousands of accounts, and they run from A to Z alphabetically in our files. We would have to take we would have to go through every invoice in each file, from A to Z, in order to find any orders he might have filled on that day. And it would he hard to prove that he filled them on that date because, unless we found one that had his number on it and was dated November 22d--because we know he wasn't there after that--but if it was dated November 21st, he could easily-have filled a good number of those orders that morning of the 22d. But we could not tell whether he filled them the 21st or the 22d.

Mr. Belin.

Mr. Truly, in line with Congressman Ford's questions, was there ever a clipboard found in your building at all?

Mr. Truly.

Yes sir. Sometime later there was a clipboard found that had two or three orders on it.

Mr. Belin.

What were those orders dated?

Mr. Truly.

I don't remember, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember where the clipboard was found?

Mr. Truly.

I later learned it was found up on the sixth floor, near the stairway, behind some cartons. I do not remember just exactly how many orders were on it, but I think it was only two or three.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember who found it?

Mr. Truly.

A boy by the name of Frankie Kaiser.

Mr. Belin.

Is he still one of your employs?

Mr. Truly.

Yes, sir.
