Mr. Ball. Except his bedroom?

Mrs. Bledsoe. Yes; uh-huh.

Mr. Ball. When he left you rented another bedroom, did you?

Mrs. Bledsoe. Well yes; I am trying to. Haven't got it rented.

Mr. Ball. Now, did you ever rent a room in your home to Lee Oswald?

Mrs. Bledsoe. Yes; uh-huh.

Mr. Ball. Can you tell me about the first time that you ever saw him. What the date was?

Mrs. Bledsoe. The first time I ever saw him or heard of him, I was in the backyard doing a lot of yardwork. I come around the house and he was standing on the porch, and he said, "Do you have a room for rent?"

I had a "for rent" sign out. I said, "Yes" and he said, "May I see it?"

And I wanted—"Yes"; and then I was trying to size him up to get in that room, and—in the house, and I said, "Are you married?"
