Mrs. Reid.

not interested in what he was saying, it was just the excitement of time and I didn't even say, "What did you say?" because I wasn't interested.

Mr. Dulles.

Was he moving fast?

Mrs. Reid.

No; because he was moving at a very slow pace, I never did see him moving fast at any time.

Mr. Belin.

He was moving just at his normal walk?

Mrs. Reid.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember whether he was wearing any pieces of jewelry like a watch or bracelet or ring or something?

Mrs. Reid.

No; I do not remember that.

Mr. Belin.

Mrs. Reid, did you ever have any personal contact with Lee Harvey Oswald about such things as his paycheck or anything like that?

Mrs. Reid.

No; I did not.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember what hand he was carrying his coke in?

Mrs. Reid.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

In what hand?

Mrs. Reid.

In his right hand.

Mr. Belin.

Mrs. Reid, we thank you very much.

Mr. Dulles.

Just one moment.

Mr. Belin.

Pardon me, do you have a question, sir?

Mr. Dulles.

How many times do you think you saw Mr. Oswald during the period he was employed?

Mrs. Reid.

My goodness.

Mr. Dulles.

Roughly.

Mrs. Reid.

It couldn't have been--

Mr. Dulles.

Five times, 10 times?

Mrs. Reid.

I would say five times. At times I would go down to Mr. Truly's office for some business. I would see him across the floor, but he paid no attention to you and there were times, the few times, he ate lunch up there but he never talked to anyone.

Mr. Dulles.

Never talked to anyone?

Mrs. Reid.

And he was usually reading, I noticed that.

Mr. Dulles.

Did he seem to repel ordinary conversational attempts or didn't you try that?

Mrs. Reid.

I never did try it, I never did.

Mr. Dulles.

You never tried it.

Mrs. Reid.

He seemed to be interested in what he was doing, I would never see anyone talking to him at all in the lunchroom so far as I can recall, not any time.

Mr. Dulles.

Who in the organization so far as you know would have handled his paychecks?

Mrs. Reid.

Mr. Campbell.

Mr. Dulles.

Campbell would have handled his paychecks.

Mrs. Reid.

He makes them out and then he sends them to Mr. Truly and I am sure he distributes it to his employees.

Mr. Belin.

Two questions, Mrs. Reid.

Mrs. Reid.

All right.

Mr. Belin.

When we reconstructed your actions on Friday, March 20, which you said it took about 2 minutes, would you say that this was a maximum or minimum time?

Mrs. Reid.

Well, it wasn't any less than that I am sure because 2 minutes time--

Mr. Belin.

Did we kind of run?

Mrs. Reid.

Yes, we did, three times.

Mr. Belin.

Three times.

Mrs. Reid.

I remember that.

Mr. Belin.

And we were both huffing and puffing?

Mrs. Reid.

Yes, we were. I know I was that day, I think.

Mr. Belin.

Mrs. Reid, since the tragedy of November 22, have there been any discussions that you have heard among any employees which might relate to the character insofar as the Personal habits or what-have-you of Lee Harvey Oswald?
