Mr. Ball. Had you heard that a Russian girl was staying there in the neighborhood?
Mr. Frazier. Well, I say about this time I met him, you know, I knew that at the time then but I didn't think anything about it because, you know, the people travel from one country to the next all the time.
Mr. Ball. Did you know Mrs. Paine, Ruth Paine?
Mr. Frazier. No, sir; I didn't until all this had happened because I will be frank with you, people around there, I say, they just don't make friends very easy. I say you can have somebody living three doors from you and you can live a couple of years and you still might not know the name.
Mr. Ball. And you had never met Mrs. Ruth Paine before the day you met Lee Oswald?
Mr. Frazier. No.
Mr. Ball. What kind of work did Lee do, what kind of work was assigned to him?
Mr. Frazier. He filled orders like I do and several other men.
Mr. Ball. How many order fillers were there employed at that time?
Mr. Frazier. Oh, I would say roughly around five, six at that time. Because about the time we was real busy, the busy season. I come there, you know, and they was going pretty good when I went to work there and I say we were still going pretty good when he come to work there.
