And I was a little suspicious of Mrs. Paine. I was suspicious of Mrs. Paine from the time I entered her home.
Mr. Rankin. Had you found out how much money the Life man gave you?
Mrs. Oswald. No, not even yet.
Mr. Rankin. All right.
Mrs. Oswald. So I signed for the food. I called the operator and I asked the operator what name the room was registered under. She said, "Well, this is an unusual request. Don't you know what room—what name?"
I said, "Frankly, I don't. We are three couples. I don't know which name they used."
So she told me that the room was registered under Mrs. Allen Grant, which is the name of the Life representative. So I charged and signed. And they would have that for proof—Mrs. Allen Grant, on the food.
Mr. Rankin. Why did you say three couples?
Mrs. Oswald. I just said that to the operator, because I had to give her a reason why I didn't know which name the room was registered under.
So I just wanted to elaborate a little bit—let her know. I didn't want to give my name. Because I was by this time a little concerned about the situation.
