Mr. Belin. All right. I have no further questions.
The Chairman. Any other questions?
Representative Ford. How many employees do you have in the building on the corner of Houston and Elm?
Mr. Truly. I cannot tell you the figures, the total number of the office and all employees. We had about 15, I think. We had 19-warehouse and order-filler boys in both warehouses, and there are only four or five down at the other place. I think we had 15 men working in our warehouse at Houston and Elm on that day.
Representative Ford. On November 22d.
Mr. Dulles. Would all of them normally have had access to the sixth floor, or might have gone to the sixth floor?
Mr. Truly. Possibly any—possibly so. We have one man that checks. He hardly fills any orders. And we have one or two that write up freight. But any of the order-fillers there might be a possibility—there might be a possibility they might need something off the sixth floor.
Representative Ford. When you noticed the police assembling the employees after the assassination, what prompted you to think that Oswald was not among them?
Mr. Truly. I have asked myself that many times. I cannot give an answer. Unless it was the fact that I knew he was on the second floor, I had seen him 10 or 15 minutes, or whatever it was, before that. That might have brought that boy's name to my mind—because I was looking over there and he was the only one I missed at that time that I could think of. Subconsciously it might have been because I saw him on the second floor and I knew he was in the building.
Representative Ford. Had there been any traits that you had noticed from the time of his employment that might have made you think then that there was a connection between the shooting and Oswald?
