Mr. BALL. As he came in, did you say anything else except, "You are in a hurry"?

Mrs. Roberts.

No.

Mr. Ball.

Did you say anything about the President being shot?

Mrs. Roberts.

No.

Mr. Ball.

You were working with the television?

Mrs. ROBERTS. I was trying to clear it up to see what was happening and try to find out about President Kennedy.
Mr. BALL. Why did you say to this man as he came in, "You are in a hurry,"why did you say that?
Mrs. ROBERTS. Well, he just never has come in and he was walking unusually fast and he just hadn't been that way and I just looked up and I said, "Oh, you are in a hurry."

Mr. Ball.

You mean he was walking faster than he usually was?

Mrs. Roberts.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

When he came in the door, what did he do?

Mrs. Roberts.

He just walked in---he didn't look around at me---he didn't say nothing and went on to his room.

Mr. Ball.

Did he run?

Mrs. ROBERTS. He wasn't running, but he was walking pretty fast---he was all but running.

Mr. Ball.

Then, what happened after that?
Mrs. ROBERTS. He went to his room and he was in his shirt sleeves but I couldn't tell you whether it was a long-sleeved shirt or what color it was or nothing, and he got a jacket and put it on---it was kind of a zipper jacket.

Mr. Ball.

Had you ever seen him wear that jacket before?

Mrs. Roberts.

I can't say I did---if I did, I don't remember it.

Mr. Ball.

When he came in he was in a shirt?

Mrs. Roberts.

He was in his shirt sleeves.

Mr. Ball.

What color was his shirt? Do you know?

Mrs. Roberts.

I don't remember. I didn't pay that much attention for I was interested in the television trying to get it fixed.
Mr. BALL. Had you ever seen that shirt before or seen him wear it---the shirt, or do you know?

Mrs. Roberts.

I don't remember---I don't know.

Mr. Ball.

You say he put on a separate jacket?

Mrs. Roberts.

A jacket.
Mr. BALL. I'll show you this jacket which is Commission Exhibit 162---have you ever seen this jacket before?

Mrs. Roberts.

Well, maybe I have, but I don't remember it. It seems like the one he put on was darker than that. Now, I won't be sure, because I really don't know, but is that a zipper jacket?

Mr. Ball.

Yes---it has a zipper down the front.

Mrs. Roberts.

Well, maybe it was.

Mr. Ball.

It was a zippered jacket, was it?

Mrs. Roberts.

Yes; it was a zipper jacket. How come me to remember it, he was zipping it up as he went out the door.

Mr. Ball.

He was zipping it up as he went out the door?

Mrs. Roberts.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Then, when you saw him, did you see any part of his belt?

Mrs. Roberts.

No.

Mr. Ball.

There is some suspicion that when he left there he might have had a pistol or a revolver in his belt; did you see anything like that?

Mrs. Roberts.

No; I sure didn't.
Mr. BALL. Now, I show you Commission Exhibit No. 150--it is a shirt-have you seen that before?

Mrs. Roberts.

Well, maybe I have. Now, that looks kind of like the dark shirt that he had on.
Mr. BALL. Now, when Oswald came in, he was in a shirt--does this shirt look anything like the shirt he had on?
Mrs. ROBERTS. It was a dark shirt he had on-I think it was a dark one, but whether it was long sleeve or short sleeve or what--I don't know.
