(Testimony of A. C. Johnson)

Mr. Belin.
Could you describe the curtains at all, that were in there, if you remember them, or not?
Mr. Johnson.
No; I couldn't.
Mr. Belin.
Would those curtains still be on there today? Or might you have different ones now?
Mr. Johnson.
No; we'd have different curtains now.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know who he got his room from from you or from your wife or from your housekeeper?
Mr. Johnson.
I don't know.
Mr. Belin.
Who was your housekeeper, by the way?
Mr. Johnson.
Earlene Roberts.
Mr. Belin.
Is she still there?
Mr. Johnson.
No; she's moved.
Mr. Belin.
How long had she been a housekeeper for you?
Mr. Johnson.
Well, that's something around a year--this past--the last time, I mean.
Mr. Belin.
She was a housekeeper for you prior to that time?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes; about a year or a little better.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know how old Mrs. Roberts is approximately?
Mr. Johnson.
I believe she's in her fifties.
Mr. Belin.
Would you have any objections in stating for the record approximately how old you are?
Mr. Johnson.
I'm 59.
Mr. Belin.
Fifty-nine. Did Mrs. Roberts say why she was leaving?
Mr. Johnson.
No; she didn't.
Mr. Belin.
Did she give you any notice that she was leaving?
Mr. Johnson.
No; didn't give us any notice.
Mr. Belin.
She just walked out?
Mr. Johnson.
Just walked out.
Mr. Belin.
When did she walk out?
Mr. Johnson.
It was in the night.
Mr. Belin.
Just the middle of the-night?
Mr. Johnson.
Well, we don't know what time. All the roomers had already gone to bed, so we don't know what time it was.
Mr. Belin.
Did she have any pay coming from you, or not?
Mr. Johnson.
I don't know. My wife always pays her. Now, I couldn't tell you. I don't remember. I've even forgotten what night she moved. I think my wife paid her on Wednesday night--or on Wednesdays. But I couldn't tell you what day she moved.
Mr. Belin.
The last time she worked for you, when she left did she give you any notice?
Mr. Johnson.
No.- The last--the last time was the one I had reference to.
Mr. Belin.
I mean, the first time that she worked for you? Or don't you remember?
Mr. Johnson.
Uh--I don't remember.
Mr. Belin.
All right. In any case, this man, O. H. Lee, came to rent a room from you or from your wife?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Could you describe how you came to find out that this man had another name other than O. H. Lee?
Mr. Johnson.
Well, it was .when the officers came looking for him.
Mr. Belin.
When was this?
Mr. Johnson.
Uh--after Tippit was shot, the police----
Mr. Belin.
This would have been on November 22, 1963?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
And can you state what happened?
Mr. Johnson.
Well, they just came down there looking for--uh--Oswald.
Mr. Belin.
Did they say what his full name was?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes, I believe they did.
Mr. Belin.
Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Johnson.
.I believe they did.
Mr. Belin.
Did they say how they happened to come there?
