(Testimony of Buell Wesley Frazier)

Mr. Frazier.
type of book they want and sometimes maybe they will forget to put that on there and
you look at the price.
If you can tell the price, some editions we have a paperback and some we have hard bound and the price can automatically tell you which one they want, and sometimes he would ask me something like that which book do they want and I would tell him and that was about the only conversation we had.
Mr. Ball.
You didn't talk any more with him that day concerning the ride home?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
But you did go home with him?
Mr. Frazier.
That is he rode home with me.
Mr. Ball.
What time did you get off from work?
Mr. Frazier.
4:40.
Mr. Ball.
What time did you get to Irving?
Mr. Frazier.
Well, usually get there, if you make good time, get there maybe around 5:20 or 5:25. But if you catch the traffic and catch the train crossing the tracks, it is usually about 5:30 or 5:35, it is just according to how bad the traffic is.
If you get ahead of it before it starts coming out, you can make pretty good headway.
Mr. Ball.
Did you make any stop in the car before you got home?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I don't believe we did.
Mr. Ball.
Did the two of you walk together down to the parking lot?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; we did.
Mr. Ball.
And you dropped him off at the place where his wife was staying, did you?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; I believe I did. I, to be frank with you I, say sometimes he rode home with me, sometimes--a little store not too far from the house, there and if I was going to the store I would just drop him off by the house, but if I wasn't going to the store he would usually go on to the corner near the house and walk the rest of the way to the house up to where his wife was staying just about a half a block from my house up to where he was, his wife was staying, so he would walk there just a little bit.
Mr. Ball.
Do you remember if you talked to him any on the walk down two or three blocks down to the parking lot, anything said that you can remember?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I don't believe so.
Mr. Ball.
When you got in the car and went home do you remember if you said anything, if you said anything to him, or if he said anything to you?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I don't believe he did. Like I said, he didn't talk very much. About the only time we would talk was about the weather and babies, something like that.
Mr. Ball.
Do you remember this day whether or not you let him walk to the house where his wife was staying?
Mr. Frazier.
To be frank with you, I can't remember positively whether I let him off at the house or whether he got out there where I lived, just to be frank with you.
Mr. Ball.
You know where the house is, don't you?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Where Mrs. Paine lives?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
How far is that from your house?
Mr. Frazier.
Like I say, it is just about half a block up the street.
Mr. Ball.
It is on the same street, is it?
Mr. Frazier.
Well, I say, we lived at the corner of Westbrook and Fifth Street, and Fifth Street runs on up, you know, and I say they live on Fifth Street.
Mr. Ball.
What direction does Fifth run, east, west, north or south?
Mr. Frazier.
It runs east and west.
Mr. Ball.
East and west. And you live on the corner of Westbrook and Fifth?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
And Paine's house is east or west of your house?
