(Testimony of Frankie Kaiser)
Mr. Kaiser.
Mr. KAISER. I worked there for about 3 years and then I started to work over there.
Mr. Ball.
You started to work over at the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Kaiser.
Yes--then I got married.
Mr. BALL. You did--what kind of work do you do at the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. KAISER. Drive a truck--fill orders--just about anything that needs to be done.
Mr. BALL. Did you ever know a fellow by the name of Lee Oswald that worked there?
Mr. Kaiser.
Not personally--I would know him when I would see him.
Mr. Ball.
Did you work in the same building with him?
Mr. Kaiser.
Same building.
Mr. Ball.
Where were you when the President's parade went by?
Mr. Kaiser.
At the Baylor Dental College.
Mr. Ball.
Where?
Mr. Kaiser.
At the Baylor Dental College.
Mr. Ball.
Sir, you weren't anywhere near the School Book Depository?
Mr. KAISER. No, sir; I was off Thursday and Friday with abscessed tooth. I was sitting in the chair and when I got off, we was out in the lobby watching it on TV down at the dental college there.
Mr. Ball.
When did you go back to work?
Mr. Kaiser.
It was the following Monday.
Mr. Ball.
That would be the 25th, wouldn't it?
Mr. Kaiser.
Yes, sir; I believe so--the 25th.
Mr. Ball.
Now, one day you found a clipboard, didn't you?
Mr. KAISER. Yes; it was about a week later. I went upstairs, you see, the corner I found it in--we keep a certain teacher's edition of Catholic handbooks.
Mr. Ball.
I didn't quite hear that--Catholic what?
Mr. Kaiser.
We keep our teacher's edition of Catholic "Think and Do" books.
Mr. Ball.
I didn't quite hear that--Catholic what?
Mr. Kaiser.
We keep our teacher's edition of Catholic books--separated.
Mr. Ball.
You do?
Mr. Kaiser.
Yes, sir; and I went up there to get a teacher's edition.
Mr. Ball.
On what floor?
Mr. Kaiser.
On the sixth floor.
Mr. Ball.
Now, what part of the sixth floor is this Catholic edition located?
Mr. Kaiser.
It was in that corner.
Mr. Ball.
And in what corner is that?
Mr. Kaiser.
Let's see---
Mr. Ball.
Without saying north or south, was it near the elevator? Or the stairway?
Mr. Kaiser.
Yes, it was right in front of the elevator.
Mr. Ball.
Where was it with reference to the stairway?
Mr. Kaiser.
. It was right next to the stairway--right in the corner.
Mr. Ball.
Right in the corner next to the stairway, is that right?
Mr. Kaiser.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Now, what day did you find it, do you remember?
Mr. Kaiser.
I couldn't tell you. It was about a week or a week and a half, somewhere in there.
Mr. BALL. Now, this statement you gave to the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the 2d of December 1963, says you talked to an agent named Pinkston; do you remember that?
Mr. KAISER. Well, I got my boss and the FBI to go upstairs and I showed it to them.
Mr. Ball.
When you saw the clipboard---
Mr. Kaiser.
I went downstairs and got my boss.
Mr. Ball.
What is his name?
Mr. Kaiser.
William H. Shelley.
Mr. BALL. And then what happened?
