(Testimony of Mrs. Bertha Cheek)

Mrs. Cheek.
1963, I think 3914 Swiss. I didn't own some of these buildings all the year. I bought and sold and traded, so I would just have to go into all of that.
I sold it in August. And then maybe I sold 3518 Gillespie. I think I sold it in November. I don't remember just the dates that I closed on the Property and sell.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, I think that woud simplify it because we would like, if we can identify these two particular individuals, and it is possible since they lived with you before, they might have moved back into another one that you own.
Mrs. Cheek.
They went over all those records, those men did out there. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Barry, I thought his name was Barrett. That is what he introduced himself.
Mr. Griffin.
Whatever it is down there, Barry.
Mrs. Cheek.
I thought he said Barrett.
Mr. Griffin.
Barry is what is written there anyhow.
Mrs. Cheek.
(Reads reports of interviews. )
Mr. Griffin.
How would Monday morning at 9 or 9:30 be?
Mrs. Cheek.
If you don't think it would be very much longer, I think I have missed the doctor, because I have been here an hour.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, since we are going to try to get these records, I would almost rather do it with the records, so if there was something with the records, I wouldn't have to call you again, unless you are willing to take a chance on that.
Mrs. Cheek.
Aren't they coming out to the house to take the names down?
Mr. Griffin.
I think it would be easier if they went out with a camera and photographed that. All right, would you prefer to complete it?
Mrs. Cheek.
If it wouldn't. take too much longer. I have an appointment at 1.
Mr. Griffin.
It shouldn't take anywhere near that long.
Mrs. Cheek.
I guess I have missed my appointment with the doctor. I wanted to talk to him about my daughter.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you want to call him?
Mrs. Cheek.
May I call?
Mr. Griffin.
Sure.
Mrs. Cheek.
(Makes telephone call.)
Mr. Griffin.
Mrs. Cheek, have you had a chance to read over what I have marked as Cheek Exhibit No. 5353? It is a three-page report marked 456, 457and 458, of Commission's Document No. 205, which purports to be a report of an interview which FBI Agents Barry and Kelley had with you on November 27. Have you had a chance to read that over?
Mrs. Cheek.
I thought that I read all of this.
Mr. Griffin.
Are there any additions or corrections or changes?
Mrs. Cheek.
This is all approximate. I wouldn't know. I couldn't swear that about everything. They have $12,000 down there. I thought I remember $12,500 he wanted, but that may have been another piece of property I was thinking about. I don't remember the exact figure. Now on the sale, that was what I was talking about. They had $12,000. I told you today I thought $12,500 is what he wanted.
Mr. Griffin.
I take it you weren't able to get a hold of the doctor?
Mrs. Cheek.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
But other than that, you don't feel that you would make any sub-stantial changes in this? What I am directing myself to is whether this reportis an accurate report of what you told them at that time? I realize that there may have been things that you will recall that you didn't recall then, but as far as this report being accurate as to what you told them at that time, I take it you are satisfied that it is accurate?
Mrs. Cheek.
I think it is. I might remember something there that I don't remember now. I don't know.
Mr. Griffin.
Now you indicated that you recall having rented to two Cuban
