Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Jenner.

When he first made an inquiry?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And you took him to show him the room?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And your inquiries were with respect to his history were in the room?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes; uh-huh.

Mr. Jenner.

And he showed you the picture while you were in the room?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I think so.

Mr. Jenner.

And I take it, am I correct, when you went into the room he had that bag, and he had the articles of clothing?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And had them with him, didn't leave them on the porch?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

What did he do with the bag when he entered the room? Did he put it down on the floor?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Didn't pay any attention.
Mr. JENNER. Didn't pay any attention? What did he do with the articles of clothing on the hangers.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I wasn't paying any attention to it. I guess he hung them up. Just a young boy, and I was trying to see if he was clean, and if he' was very intelligent, and he was going to go to work, so, I didn't have too much to work on. Told me he had a nice wife, so, I. didn't have anything to say.

Mr. Jenner.

When your son was in the Navy, did he have a duffelbag?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No. Now, it was so long ago--it was--I don't know whether he did. I don't think he did. He didn't. He was an instructor at TI.

Mr. Jenner.

Was he stationed here in Dallas?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No, TI. Treasure Island.

Mr. Jenner.

Oh, Treasure Island. How long did this discussion with him in the room take?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Oh, I guess 10 minutes because those he was--you know, old people, they want to get you out of the way. They don't want to listen to you, but I wanted to find out, so, I think I maybe asked him too many questions, but I wanted him to say something to me and he said something about his--I said, "Do you have a family here," and he said, "Yes, my family lives here."
Well, he wouldn't say his mother or anything, and I didn't ask him everything.
Miss DOUTHIT. Well--

Mr. Jenner.

All right. (Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Jenner.

Did you notice anything in addition to the hangers with respect to these clothes? Were the articles of clothing enclosed in any kind of a bag or paper, plastic, or otherwise?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No, just on hangers.

Mr. Jenner.

Just on hangers.

Mrs. BLEDSOE. But I didn't pay any attention to what kind of--I think maybe a coat. I don't know what it was, a sweater or something.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you see how many articles of clothing were there?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Oh, about four.

Mr. Jenner.

And none of them was enclosed in any kind of a container, plastic or otherwise?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No.
Mr. JENNER. Was he pleasant during all of the conversation you had with him?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Was the first day. Next day didn't talk any more. I didn't talk to him.

Mr. Jenner.

As soon as he--recalling to mind that he paid you the $7.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did any further conversation take place after he paid you the

$7?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Yes; that is when he asked where the grocery store was.
