Mr. Shelley.

He already had the orders and was working when I got there.

Mr. Ball.

He bad?

Mr. Shelley.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Who would determine what orders they would get?

Mr. SHELLEY. When we run out of orders they get to one of the boxes and get orders for Scott, Foresman. He had been trained for Scott, Foresman.

Mr. Ball.

Would orders be assigned the day before?

Mr. Shelley.

No, sir; we don't definitely assign them to anyone. The boys know what they can fill best and as long as they are putting the work out---
Mr. BALL. I want to know how a man working on Scott, Foresman--suppose Oswald came to work on Friday morning, tell me what routine he would follow, where he would get the orders he was to fill.
Mr. SHELLEY. He would go over to the order desk and get them out of a box marked Scott, Foresman.

Mr. Ball.

They would have Scott, Foresman on it?

Mr. Shelley.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Is he the only one that in the morning when he came to would get the orders out of the box marked Scott, Foresman?

Mr. SHELLEY. No, sir; if there wasn't any orders in any of the other boxes any other order filler would take them.
Mr. BALL. Do you know whether or not he was filling Scott, Foresman orders that day?

Mr. Shelley.

No, sir; not for sure.
Mr. BALL. Do you know whether anybody else was filling Scott, Foresman orders that day?
Mr. SHELLEY. I am sure they were; that's our biggest publishers; there's more of them.
Mr. BALL. Then you believe others besides Oswald were filling Scott, Foresman orders that day?

Mr. Shelley.

Probably were.
Mr. BALL. Is there any way .you can determine what order filler had that clipboard?

Mr. Shelley.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

On November 22, 1963?

Mr. Shelley.

No, sir; it's one that looked like the one he had used.

Mr. Ball.

It did look like the one he had used?

Mr. Shelley.

Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. There were how many unfilled orders on that clipboard when it was found?

Mr. Shelley.

Two or three, best I remember.

Mr. Ball.

Did you keep a list of them?

Mr. Shelley.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did anybody make a list of them?

Mr. Shelley.

Not unless Mr. Pinkston did.

Mr. Ball.

Mr. Pinkston of the FBI ?

Mr. SHELLEY. Yes; he called in about the thing and in a little while he released it and said go ahead and fill the orders which we did because they were several days old.
Mr. BALL. You mean those orders that were on that clipboard had never been filled?

Mr. Shelley.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

So you went ahead and filled them?

Mr. Shelley.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

How do you spell his name Pinkston?

Mr. Shelley.

I don't know how to spell it. Mr. Pinkston is all I know.
Mr. BALL. Pinkston, okay. I think that's all, Mr. Shelley. Thanks very much. This will be written up and you can come down and read it and sign it or we can waive signature; which would you rather do?
Mr. SHELLEY. I suppose it doesn't make any difference. What are the others doing?

Mr. Ball.

Some waived, some insist on reading it; which would you rather do?

Mr. Shelley.

I would kind of like to see it for curiosity.
