Mrs. Bledsoe.
He was there 5 days, just 5 days.
Mr. Ball.
He was there---what day of the week was the day that he came?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Monday and Tuesday he stayed home and went to bed, and stayed I didn't pay any attention to him---
Mr. Ball.
Monday night he stayed home?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; after he went to the grocery store.
Mr. Ball.
What about Tuesday?
Mr. Bledsoe.
Tuesday he went out at 9:30 and come home at 2:30. He was looking for a job, and called on the phone, wanted different ones, and I got the book, and papers, and tried to look for him a job, because he was a nice looking boy, and wanted a job.
Mr. Ball.
Now, he went out at 9---9:30 in the morning and came back at 2:30?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Let's see. 1:30. I have my nap then, and it kind of interfered, but I didn't say anything.
Mr. Ball.
You say you have a what?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
I have a nap then.
Mr. Ball.
You take a nap in the afternoon?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; I had a stroke, you see.
Mr. Ball.
And it interfered with your nap when he came back?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; but I didn't say anything then, but then the next day----
Mr. Ball.
Let's finish Tuesday.
Mrs. Bledsoe.
All right. That's all.
Mr. Ball.
Did he go out again after he came home at 1:30?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Stayed in his room?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
All the time, and stayed there that night, too.
Mr. Ball.
All the time? What about Wednesday?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
He left about 9 o'clock, and went off dressed. Had a white shirt and white tie and white---white trousers, and looked very nice. Went off Monday about 2 o'clock.
Mr. Ball.
This is Wednesday.
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Wednesday. Then he got back at 1:30.
Mr. Ball.
Let me see, he left at 9?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Ball.
Come back at 1:30?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
And did he go out again that day?

Mrs. BLEDSOE. No; but then he talked to somebody on the phone, and talked in a foreign language.
Mr. Ball.
You mean when? Wednesday?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
On Wednesday, I guess it was Wednesday, but I am sure it must have been Wednesday. I was in my room, and the telephone is over there [indicating], and I didn't like that, somebody talking in a foreign language and, so I told my girl friend, I said, "I don't like anybody talking in a foreign language."
Mr. BALL. What time of day did he call on the phone and talk in a foreign language?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. He come home at 1:30 and talked about 2 or 2:30, talked like that.
Mr. Ball.
Did he go out again that day?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No; went to bed.
Mr. Ball.
Went to bed that night and stayed there?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
And I didn't fix his room either, that is why I didn't see his luggage. I didn't go in his room at all because they take care of their own rooms.
Mr. Ball.
What about Thursday?

Mrs. BLEDSOE. Thursday, he went out at 10 o'clock or 10:30, and I was out in the yard, and he come out and I said, "Oh, I thought you had gone."
"Oh, no," he said, he didn't go, but he came home a little bit early, and after I said he got into my nap, he come home at 2 o'clock, or 2:30, you see, and didn't leave until 10.
Mr. Ball.
And did you tell him that he interfered with your nap?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes.
