(Testimony of Troy Eugene West)

Mr. BELIN. Did you see him when you walked into work, or did you see him after he started working?

Mr. West.
Well, I would notice him times after he done started working.

Mr. BELIN. You didn't generally see him walking into work, did you, or did you?
Generally, when you would first see him, would he be just walking into work?
Mr. West.
Be just coming in.

Mr. BELIN. What route would he take when he normally came to work? Do you know what doorway? Did he walk through the front or the back?
Mr. West.
Well, it is through the back door. He would come in the side door next to the dock on the northeast side.
Mr. Belin.
Then what route would he take when he walked in?

Mr. WEST. Well, he would come right in, and a lot of times I would be mostly, or be passing him, and he would come right in and probably I'd go right on, and I never would see him no more than that he would be on that work, or whatever.
Mr. BELIN. When he came in, for instance, did he go right to an elevator to go upstairs, or did he go over to the domino room, or down to the basement, or where would be go when he would first come in?
Mr. WEST. He would go and pull off his Jacket or Coat or whatever he had on, and go on to work there.
Mr. BELIN. Well, where would he put his coat when he took it off?
Mr. West.
Sometimes he would hang it up.
Mr. Belin.
Where?

Mr. WEST. Pretty close to the elevator, or something, or lots of times he would just lay it down on something there in the building.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever see him take his jacket into the domino room to hang it up?
Mr. West.
No; I never did see him.
Mr. Belin.
He would either lay his jacket or hang it up by the elevator, or lay it on these boxes where he was working, is that what your testimony is?

Mr. WEST. Yes, sir; he would lay it either close, hang it up on the elevator, or either lay it down.
A lot of times, he would just pull it off and lay it down.
Mr. BELIN. Would he ever take his shirt off and put it down there and just work in a T-shirt?
Mr. West.
I don't believe I ever seen him working in just a T-shirt. He worked in his shirt all right, but I never did see him work in a T-shirt.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever see him carrying his lunch inside?
Mr. West.
No, sir; I never did see him with any lunch.
Mr. Belin.
On the morning of November 22, did you happen to see Buell Wesley Frazier? Do you remember Frazier who worked down there?
Mr. West.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you happen to see him come in that morning on November 22, that Friday, if you remember?
Mr. WEST. Well, lots of times I seen him that day, but now I didn't see him when he came in, because I had got busy at working and I might have probably had been in, you know, a good while before I saw him. I didn't see when he came.
Mr. BELIN. Now, I believe you earlier testified you never saw Oswald on November 22?
Mr. West.
No, sir; I didn't see him that day.
Mr. Belin.
Were you generally at your spot in the west part of the first floor there Chat you are talking about by the mailing place?
Mr. West.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Were there many days when you would ever see him working down there in the morning near you?
Mr. WEST. No, sir. I had generally been seeing him nearly every morning, excepting that morning I didn't see him at all.
Mr. Belin.
You saw him every morning except that morning?
Mr. West.
Practically every morning except then.
