He asked me if I would hold that for 3 or 4 days, that he is expecting a baby momentarily.
So some 4 days or so later—I don't remember the exact day—he told me that he had this new baby, and he wanted to add one dependent.
He finished filling it out. And I sent it up to Mr. Campbell who makes out the payroll for the company.
Mr. Belin. Now, on October 15th you saw him fill out the application form for employment in his own writing?
Mr. Truly. Yes.
Mr. Belin. You also saw him fill out the withholding slip, except for the number of exemptions, in his own writing, is that correct?
Mr. Truly. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Any other conversation that you can remember from your meeting on October 15th?
Mr. Truly. Well, he told me that he needed a job. He said he had a wife and child to support. And he also repeated that he was expecting a child in a few days.
And I told Lee Oswald that I had some work, that if he could fit in, of a temporary nature, we could put him on. But I didn't have anything in mind of a permanent job at that time, because I didn't have any openings for a permanent person. And he said he would be glad to have any type of work I would give him, because he did need—and he stressed he really needed a job to support his family.
