Mr. Belin.

Or the outside, either was?

Mrs. Reid.

Either way.

Mr. Belin.

Who has custody of the key?

Mrs. Reid.

I got that from Mr. Williams' desk, because that is where I got it from, and then the porter has one. I could not say. They all have the keys.

Mr. Belin.

When did you get it to unlock the door?

Mrs. Reid.

Well, by the time the policeman got there and started searching our floor. I can't recall whether I had taken him into the lounge first because they had me to go in there with him, the ladies' lounge, or whether they went in there because there is a little stand in here that Mr. Cason uses when we have a conference, and he jerked it back because it would have been humanly possible for a person to have gotten in there, but it was up against the wall and there was no one there.

Mr. Belin.

Would this have been more or less than 5 minutes after you got back in the building that you opened the lounge?

Mrs. Reid.

That is where you all get me in this time because I was not watching the clock that day.

Mr. Belin.

That is all right.

Mrs. Reid.

Time really didn't mean anything to us because they, the police officers, just came in on us and began to ask so many questions.

Mr. Belin.

When you were at point "RX" and moving, if someone would have walked into the conference room would you have heard him in any way?

Mrs. Reid.

I could have heard him open the door.

Mr. Belin.

You could hear them open the door. During the time, the period of time you were there and saw Lee Harvey Oswald, did you hear anyone open the door to the conference room?

Mrs. Reid.

I do not recall any.

Mr. Belin.

From your best judgment, if Lee Harvey Oswald didn't go into the conference room and didn't go back to the door marked around between 27 and 28, how would he have gotten out of the office?

Mrs. Reid.

Right straight out this door down this stairway and out the front door.

Mr. Belin.

You are saying right down the hallway in the direction in which the arrow number 29 is pointing?

Mrs. Reid.

That is right.

Mr. Belin.

Down through the hall and down through the front stairway.
Have you ever talked to anyone there who ever saw Lee Harvey Oswald leave the building?

Mrs. Reid.

No; I haven't.

Mr. Belin.

Do you know of your own personal knowledge how he got out of the building?

Mrs. Reid.

No; I do not, I do not. I have no idea.

Mr. Belin.

Mrs. Reid, did you notice whether or not the man you ran into on the second floor whom you now identify as Lee Harvey Oswald was carrying anything in either arm other than a coke?

Mrs. Reid.

No.

Mr. Belin.

Was the coke full or empty?

Mrs. Reid.

It was full.

Mr. Belin.

It was full.
Was there anything else you noticed about him?

Mrs. Reid.

No.

Mr. Belin.

Anything about the expression on his face?

Mrs. Reid.

No; just calm.

Mr. Belin.

Anything about whether or not his clothes were clean or dirty?

Mrs. Reid.

Well, they were clean.

Mr. Belin.

Anything about whether or not his hair was combed or mussed?

Mrs. Reid.

No; I did not. There wasn't anything unusual.

Mr. Belin.

You say he mumbled something?

Mrs. Reid.

He did.

Mr. Belin.

Could you even remember one word that he mumbled?

Mrs. Reid.

I did not because he kept moving and I did, too, and I was just
