Mr. Ball.

What kind of work do you do there?
Miss HINE. I have the credit desk.

Mr. BALL. Now, in November, November 22, 1963, where was your desk; in what part of the building?
Miss HINE. My desk was on the second floor, the inside wall just along by the corridor.

Mr. Ball.

Did you spend most of your time at your desk?
Miss HINE. At that time?

Mr. Ball.

Yes; at that time.
Miss HINE. No, sir; the girls were gone and they wanted to go out and see.
Mr. BALL. I mean did you spend most of your time in your work--it was a desk job?
Miss HINE. Yes; that's right.

Mr. Ball.

Did you go in the other floors of the building any?
Miss HINE. Yes; sir; as my duties necessitated I did.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever know a fellow named Lee Harvey Oswald?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

When did you first meet him?
Miss HINE. I never met him to know his name but I saw him every day.

Mr. Ball.

Where did you see him?

Miss HINE. Downstairs in the warehouse or stockroom whichever you want to call it.

Mr. Ball.

The first floor?
Miss HINE. Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Did you see him on any other floors?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir; I saw him on the second floor about noontime almost

every day. He would come in and ask for change, for a dime or quarter.

Mr. Ball.

Did you see him use any part of the second floor?
Miss HINE. No.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever see him spend the dime to buy anything with it?

Miss HINE. No, sir; the coke machine isn't in our room and I wouldn't have seen it.

Mr. Ball.

Where is the coke machine?
Miss HINE. Out in the little lunchroom back of our office.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever speak to Oswald ?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did he ever speak to you?
Miss HINE. No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

He never replied to you?
Miss HINE. No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Would you say he was unfriendly?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir; I would.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever see him smile or laugh?
Miss HINE. No, sir.

Mr. BALL. What kind of an expression did he have on his face most of the time?
Miss HINE. I describe it as being stoic.

Mr. Ball.

That's a pretty good description if he doesn't smile.
Miss HINE. It was just----

Mr. BALL. Did you ever mention this to any of the people around there about Oswald?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir; I mentioned it to Mr. Shelley.

Mr. Ball.

What did you tell him ?
Miss HINE. One day I said to Mr. Shelley, "Who is that queer duck you have working down here" and I said that Just as a matter of slang because I've known Mr. Shelley for a long time and I was just talking to him, you see, and usually, all the boys that work down there speak to me because I have to go down here to pick up the little "comp" or gift slips on my desk. Every time I went by him I would speak to him, say "Good morning" and he would never catch or meet my gaze so I just made that remark to Mr. Shelley because I had spoken to him so many times and he never answered.
Mr. BALL. What did Shelley say?
