(Testimony of Gertrude Hunter)

Mrs. Hunter.
to show the baby or nothing and she didn't say anything. We thought it was very funny and we discussed it after she walked out--about her not being interested in showing her new baby, and, of course, I didn't say anything to them, only I did see the little girl and so forth--I didn't put my hands on her or nothing and I didn't pay any attention to what they were saying at the back. All I know is that they were looking at some furniture there, back there.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did this man Oswald say anything about how old the little baby was?
Mrs. Hunter.
He said something to her but he was back far enough that what he said to her--I don't know-- it was about 2 weeks old or something like that.
Mr. Liebeler.
This is Mrs. Whitworth you are talking about now, or Oswald?
Mrs. Hunter.
Oswald; and she asked Oswald something about the babies and I don't remember just what he said to her, but it was something about the baby, you know, and he didn't seem too enthused about that either.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you didn't hear Oswald say anything to Mrs. Whitworth about how old the baby was?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, I won't be positive it's been so long--just what he answered her, but just not looking for nothing--I didn't say too much about it, but we just thought it was a coincidence about him not being interested in us seeing the new baby. I think he did tell her when it was born; I'm not positive.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you fix for us the date on which this occurred?
Mrs. Hunter.
Oh, no; not right offhand. All I know is that it was before the football game I believe the Richland Hills football game and it was on a Wednesday or a Thursday--I won't say positive which one.
Mr. Liebeler.
How can you say it was on a Wednesday or Thursday?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, I never did go down to the store only on Wednesdays or Thursdays afternoons---only the days that we had charters, and I went down on Friday afternoon.
Mr. Liebeler.
On the days you had charters; what do you mean by that?
Mrs. Hunter.
Charter buses to go.
Mr. Liebeler.
To go to the football game?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you have a charter bus to go to the football game at Richland Hills?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; we went in cars that night and that night I would always wait until my daughter calls at 2 o'clock. When she would call, then I would go down to the store and that's the reason I definitely know it was after 2 o'clock.
Mr. Liebeler.
Which daughter is this that you are talking about?
Mrs. Hunter.
Glenda.
Mr. Liebeler.
And what is her last name?
Mrs. Hunter.
Hunter.
Mr. Liebeler.
How old is she?
Mrs. Hunter.
She's 19.
Mr. Liebeler.
And does she live with you at home?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
How does it come that she calls you at 2 o'clock?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, her lunch break--she gets her lunch break from I until 2 and she would always call me just a minute or two before she goes back to work--just a few seconds every day before she goes to work.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does she work here in Dallas?
Mrs. Hunter.
At Commercial Title.
Mr. Liebeler.
She always calls you at about 2 o'clock; is that right?
Mrs. Hunter.
Between--she has to be back at her desk at 2. She will call me anywhere, you know, when it's handy--if she comes up in town to eat, it may be about 10 minutes until 2. If she takes her lunch and eats there, it may be 15 minutes to 2, but I would always wait--I would give her a chance to call me before I would leave and I never would leave before 2 o'clock.
Mr. Liebeler.
How late in the afternoon could it have been, you think, that these people did come?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, I would say between 2:30 and 3:30, because I never did stay gone past 4 o'clock. My daughter comes in from school and she didn't
