(Testimony of Mrs. Earlene Roberts)

Mrs. Roberts.
No; he didn't have nothing when he first come in and rented the room.
Mr. Ball.
He didn't have anything?
Mrs. Roberts.
No---he just came in.
Mr. BALL. Oh, when he came back he had the zipper satchel and the clothes on the hanger, is that right?
Mrs. ROBERTS. No---he rented the room and paid for it and said, "I'll go get my things." That's when he went and come back with his little satchel bag and some clothes on a hanger, which was a very few.
Mr. Ball.
Now, did he have anything to say when he came back?
Mrs. Roberts.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Did he tell you where he had been?
Mrs. Roberts.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Did he stay there that night?
Mrs. Roberts.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Did you ever talk to him about anything?
Mrs. Roberts.
No; because he wouldn't talk.
Mr. Ball.
Did he say "Hello"?
Mrs. Roberts.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Or, "Goodby"?
Mrs. Roberts.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Or anything?
Mrs. Roberts.
He wouldn't say nothing.
Mr. Ball.
Did you ever speak to him?
Mrs. Roberts.
Well, yes--I would say, "Good afternoon," and he would just maybe look at me give me a dirty look and keep walking and go on to his room.
Mr. Ball.
Did he watch television?

Mrs. ROBERTS. No---in a way---but all he did ever watch the television was if someone in the other rooms had it on, maybe he would come and stand at the back of the couch---not over 5 minutes and go to his room and shut the door and never say a word.
Mr. Ball.
Did he go out any at night?
Mrs. Roberts.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Did he stay home every night?
Mrs. Roberts.
Yes---he stayed home every night---I didn't ever know of him going out. If he did, he left after I went to bed and I never knew
Mr. Ball.
Was he gone any weekends?
Mrs. ROBERTS. He would leave on Friday nights-he did say this much---he said, "Now, over weekends I will be out of town." He didn't say what town. He said, "I will be going out of town visiting friends." He would leave Friday morning for work and he wouldn't come back any more until Monday afternoon.
Mr. Ball.
Now, was one weekend when he didn't come back on Monday?
Mrs. Roberts.
No; there was one weekend that he didn't go out.
Mr. Ball.
Which one was that?
Mrs. Roberts.
Now, as far as: you know what?
Mr. Ball.
Was that the weekend?
Mrs. Roberts.
I think---now, if I had the books, I could tell you.
Mr. Ball.
Which books?
Mrs. Roberts.
The books that are over there on North Beckley. I believe it was on the weekend before---when was President Kennedy shot?
Mr. Ball.
On the 22d of November.
Mrs. Roberts.
What day was that---that was on Friday, wasn't it?
Mr. Ball.
That was on a Friday.
Mrs. Roberts.
Well, it was on the weekend before that.
Mr. Ball.
What happened---what was that?
Mrs. Roberts.
He didn't go nowhere.
Mr. Ball.
He stayed in all weekend, is that right?

Mrs. ROBERTS. Yes, sir; and then that first Thursday, he got up Thursday and left for work and he didn't come back no more until Friday.
