Mrs. Randle.

Then there was this Texas Gypsum which makes sheet rock and things like that, and we mentioned because Wesley had tried those places that I mentioned those.

Mr. Ball.

And then you also mentioned the Texas Book Depository?

Mrs. Randle.

Well, I didn't know there was a job opening over there.

Mr. Ball.

But did you mention it?

Mrs. Randle.

But we said he might try over there. There might be work over there because it was the busy season but I didn't have any previous knowledge that there was any job opening.

Mr. Ball.

Did you later learn that Lee had applied for a job?

Mrs. Randle.

She told me, Mrs. Paine told me, later that he had applied for the job, and had gotten the job and she thanked us for naming the places and things like that.

Mr. Ball.

Did you tell your brother that a fellow named Lee Oswald was going to work for them?

Mrs. Randle.

No, sir; I didn't even know his name. She said Lee so I just assumed that was his last name and I just merely mentioned to Wesley that he had got the job or a job over there.
Mr. BALL. That Lee had the job?

Mrs. Randle.

That Mrs. Paine said that, I had told Wesley that he might--that she said he was going to call over there.
In fact, Mrs. Paine asked me if I would call and see if there was a job available and I told her, no, that I didn't know anybody over there, and if she wanted to call over the place she would have to do it because I didn't know if there was any job openings over there.

Mr. Ball.

You told Wesley, though, that you had--Mrs. Paine had told you that Lee had applied for a job and gotten a job there?

Mrs. Randle.

Sir, I don't remember if I mentioned it to him or not.

Mr. Ball.

When you said a moment ago that you had mentioned something to Wesley?

Mrs. Randle.

I might have had. But I can't say for sure I did because at the time it was unimportant to me. It didn't really matter.

Mr. Ball.

In other words, you are not sure whether you did or didn't?

Mrs. Randle.

That is right. I might have, I don't know maybe for sure if I did.

Mr. Ball.

Did Lee tell you at sometime that he had started to drive?

Mrs. Randle.

I never talked to Lee.

Mr. Ball.

Did Wesley tell you that he was driving Lee home weekends or driving him to Irving weekends?

Mrs. Randle.

Wesley had told me that he asked to ride out on weekends.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever see him arrive with Lee?

Mrs. Randle.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Do you recall on a Thursday night, November 21 that you saw Lee get out of Wesley's car?

Mrs. Randle.

That is right.

Mr. Ball.

About what time of night was it?

Mrs. Randle.

About 5:20, I believe, 5:15 or 5:25 something like that.

Mr. Ball.

Where were you when you saw him?

Mrs. Randle.

I was on my way to the grocery store.

Mr. Ball.

Did you talk to Wesley about the fact that he had brought Lee home on this night?

Mrs. Randle.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you think it was unusual that he had come home that night?

Mrs. Randle.

Well, I knew that he had--Friday is the only time he had ever ridden with him before which was a couple of times, I don't think he rode with him over three times, I am not sure but I never did know of him arriving, you know, except on Friday.

Mr. Ball.

Well, did you mention to Wesley that night or did you ask Wesley that night how Lee happened to come home on Thursday?

Mrs. Randle.

I might have asked him.

Mr. Ball.

Do you remember anything about curtain rods?

Mrs. Randle.

Yes.
