(Testimony of Mary E. Bledsoe)

Mr. Jenner.
I see. What else?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Well, he didn't say anything about going to get the rest of his things. I think that he must have been-said that after he came back with the other bag.
Mr. Jenner.
Must have said what?

Mrs. BLEDSOE. Where was the grocery store, after he come back and got the other----
Mr. Jenner.
So, your recollection presently serves you that he paid you the $7 and no further conversation took place?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
He turned and left the room?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
I--he was--I was in the room, I just walked out.
Mr. Jenner.
You walked out after the transaction, financially, was complete?

Mrs. BLEDSOE. I went and he paid--he had already paid me but I wanted him to put his name on here.
Mr. Jenner.
On your register?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
On this [indicating].
Mr. Jenner.
He did that
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
In your presence?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; in the living room.
Mr. Jenner.
Your recollection was that he wrote the words "Lee Oswald"?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Lee Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
Then did he leave your home?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; huh.
Mr. Jenner.
Without saying anything to you?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
And he was gone--did he return?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; within about 40 minutes, I guess.
Mr. Jenner.
And he was gone about 40 minutes?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
And got the rest of his things.
Mr. Jenner.
When he returned did you see him before he entered your home?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have a recollection of having seen him before he entered his room?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
When did you become aware of the fact he had returned?

Mrs. BLEDSOE. Well, I must have heard him, or he might have come in and put his milk in the icebox.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, he didn't get the milk, as far as I recall, until you'd advised
him where the grocery store was.
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Jenner.
That was after he had returned from the----
Mrs. Bledsoe.
From the---
Mr. Jenner.
After this 40-minute interval? I am just sticking for the moment to the time that he returned to your home after 40 minutes.
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Uh-huh.

Mr. JENNER. He had put his name in your register and in your presence, in the living room, and turned and left your home and returned in 40 minutes; now, is that right? It's that point that I am concentrating on. When did you become aware that he had returned on that occasion and how?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Well, I don't know--I guess he come and put the things in the icebox. I don't even remember where I was.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. So, that you didn't see him return to your home?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
I didn't see him come in.
Mr. Jenner.
Didn't see him come in?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
And you didn't know what he had with him at that point?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
To the best of your ability where was he in your home when you became aware of his presence on his return after that 40 minutes?
