Mrs. Bledsoe.

Uh-huh.

Mr. Ball.

It was approaching Lamar, wasn't it?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Uh-huh.

Mr. Ball.

When did you first notify the police that you believe you'd seen Oswald?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

When I got home, first thing I did I went next door and told them the President had been shot, and he said, "Why, he has got killed." Well, I turned on the radio--television--and we heard ambulances and going around and there was a little boy came in that room in the back and he turned it on, and we listened and hear about the President, only one I was interested in, so, he went on back to work and they kept talking about this boy Oswald and had on a brown shirt, and all of a sudden, well, I declare, I believe that this was this boy, and his name was Oswald---that is---give me his right name, you know, and so, about an hour my son came home, and I told him and he immediately called the police and told them, because we wanted to do all we could, and so, I went down the next night. He took me down, and I made a statement to them, what kind of---Secret Service man or something down there.

Mr. Ball.

Where?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

At the police station.

Mr. Ball.

Uh-huh. Now, did you ever see Oswald in a lineup?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No.

Mr. Ball.

Never did see Oswald after he was arrested?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Not after he got off the bus; no.

Mr. Ball.

But, you looked at the pictures of Oswald?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Showed you the pictures of Oswald?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

The man down at the police station, he had a picture of him with a gun, and said, "Do you recognize him?"
And I said, "Yes; it is Oswald." That is the one that I remember him.

Mr. Ball.

Do you know the name of the man who showed you the picture of the man with the gun?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I am so bad about names.

Mr. Ball.

Was there one man or more than one man?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Oh, about a dozen.

Mr. Ball.

Oh, a dozen men?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

There sure was a lot of them. Two Secret Service men, and two to do this, and oh, I had interviewed about 9 or 10 or 12, plenty of them.

Mr. Ball.

Now, I have got a piece of clothing here, which is marked---

Mrs. Bledsoe.

That is it.

Mr. Ball.

Commission Exhibit 150.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

That is it.

Mr. Ball.

This is a shirt.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

That is it.

Mr. Ball.

What do you mean by "that is it?"

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Because they brought it out to the house and showed it.

Mr. Ball.

I know. What do you mean by "that is it?"

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, because I can recognize it.

Mr. Ball.

Recognize it as what?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes, sir; see there?

Mr. Ball.

Yes. You tell me what do you see here? What permits you to recognize it?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I recognize---first thing I notice the elbow is out and then I saw---when the man brought it out and let me see it?
