(Testimony of Glenn Emmett Smith)

Mr. Liebeler.
How well do you know Taylor?
Mr. Smith.
I never knew him until I went to work there. Just by working with him, that is all.
Mr. Liebeler.
You never associated With him outside of work?
Mr. Smith.
No, sir; I hadn't.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever formed any opinion as to Taylor's truthfulness or his reliability?
Mr. Smith.
I think he is truthful, and I think he is reliable.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't think he would tell the FBI agent that he got a rifle from this fellow if he didn't in fact get a rifle from this fellow?
Mr. Smith.
I don't. I sure don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know where 2515 West Fifth Street is in Irving, Tex.?
Mr. Smith.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever been there?
Mr. Smith.
I have-taken a lady home that lived there, to bring a car back to service it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you remember approximately when that was?
Mr. Smith.
Oh, we serviced her car quite often. What I mean, washed it and greased it, and she comes in occasionally now, but not like she used to.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you gone to her house more than once to bring the car hack to the station?
Mr. Smith.
To the best of my knowledge, I believe three times.
Mr. Liebeler.
Were all of these times prior to the assassination?
Mr. Smith.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you remember approximately when the first time was that you took this lady home to her house and brought the car back to the station?
Mr. Smith.
Well----
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember now that you first started to work for the station in the last of April 1963? Can you remember approximately how long after that it was when you first went to this address on Fifth Street?
Mr. Smith.
I sure don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have no idea?
Mr. Smith.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
A month, or 2 months, or Just don't remember?
Mr. Smith.
Possibly 2 or 3 months, something like that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Ever have any conversation with this lady during the time that you drove with her back to her house?

Mr. SMITH. Nothing more than just passing the time of day. The only thing, she made the statement one time, the first time I took her home, that she got a little child and she said the baby, he could speak Russian better than he could English. That is the first time I knew there was any Russian blood there.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did she tell you they were Russian, or just told you the little child could speak Russian?
Mr. Smith.
That is all she told me.
Mr. Liebeler.
That the child could speak Russian' better than English?
Mr. Smith.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever see anyone other than this lady and her children at the house on Fifth Street in Irving?
Mr. Smith.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you actually go into the house on any occasion?
Mr. Smith.
I helped her, I carried some groceries in her house one time. She had a carload of groceries, and I helped her put them in the house.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember how many children were with her at that time?
Mr. Smith.
Three, I believe.
Mr. Liebeler.
Three children?
Mr. Smith.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you make any Judgment as to approximately how old were? Did it appear to you that they were all her children, or weren't the ages so that it seemed to you that maybe one was the child of somebody else?
Mr. Smith.
I had an idea they were all hers. They were looked like spaced out about a year or year and a half apart, something like that.
