(Testimony of George Senator)
Mr. Hubert.
that is to say, handout with your roommates, or did you have enough money then to pay your fair share?
Mr. Senator.
Oh, no; I paid my fair share as long as I was----
Mr. Hubert.
So when you are talking about the handouts----
Mr. Senator.
The handouts is when I was completely out.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't have any employment at all?
Mr. Senator.
No, I was completely out.
Mr. Hubert.
That was for about a year, year and a half?
Mr. Senator.
I would say about a year and a haft at a rough guess.
Mr. Hubert.
When did that begin and when did that end, that year and a half? Let's look at it this way: You were not working at the time you were living with Ruby, were you, that is to say you were not making any money?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You were not contributing?
Mr. Senator.
No. Ruby gave me handouts.
Mr. Hubert.
That is right?
Mr. Senator.
Certainly.
Mr. Hubert.
So that is a year and a half back from November of 1963, is it not, roughly?
Mr. Senator.
No, I was with this Volume Sales like you mentioned before.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Senator.
I was with them. Now, I was with Volume for maybe about 9 months, I think.
Mr. Hubert.
Let's take the time that you were with Corbat. Was that on a handout basis too, or did you pay your fair share then?
Mr. Senator.
No; with Corbat I paid him very little. I'll tell you when I paid him very little, though. I paid him very little when I first moved in with him, because I had no money.
Mr. Hubert.
And then you got----
Mr. Senator.
Then when I moved, when I was able to a little, we went on a 50-50 basis.
Mr. Hubert.
That is when you moved to South Ewing?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Which was in August of 1962?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where were you making money at that time?
Mr. Senator.
The cards. My half of the rent was $62.50 a month and his half. In other words, it ran about $15 a week, approximately.
Mr. Hubert.
And you earned enough to pay your half by selling postcards?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; I was in the postcards.
Mr. Hubert.
That is what business? What company is that?
Mr. Senator.
Texas Postcard & Novelty Co.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were you with them?
Mr. SENATOR, I was sales manager, whatever that means.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were you with them?
Mr. Senator.
August of 1962 until November of 1963.
Mr. Hubert.
What part of November?
Mr. Senator.
The latter part of November.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean you ceased your employment with them after Oswald was shot?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; this is when I fell apart with the incident.
Mr. Hubert.
What were you making then?
Mr. Senator.
$75 a week, but $61.45, that is my actual draw.
Mr. Hubert.
That was your actual draw?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
In cash?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Roughly $250 a month?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you said you paid your half of the rent with Corbat?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; $15 a week, $16 a week, or whatever it was.
Mr. Hubert.
And then when you lost that employment--just a minute; you
