Mr. Stern. Do you know why he gave it to him? In what connection he gave it to him?

Mr. Sims. I'm not positive about this, but I believe that Oswald was missing.

Mr. Stern. I see.

Mr. Sims. In other words, most of the employees returned back to their jobs after the assassination.

Mr. Stern. Do you know whether any other employees were missing?

Mr. Sims. No; I don't.

Mr. Stern. But as far as you know, that was the only name mentioned? Mentioned by the supervisor at the Book Depository?

Mr. Sims. As far as I know; yes.

Mr. Stern. Now, the search in which you participated of Oswald at 4:05 on Friday, just before the first showup—you have told us that either you or Mr. Boyd found five live rounds of .38 caliber pistol shells, and a bus transfer slip, and an identification bracelet, according to your memorandum—Oswald took his ring off and gave it to you?

Mr. Sims. That's right.
