Mr. Bouhe. No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you believe him when he told you he had gone hunting?

Mr. Bouhe. I thought of him as a simpleton, but at that time I had no reason to suspect his lying.

Mr. Liebeler. Now as far as you knew, he did actually go hunting when he was in Russia?

Mr. Bouhe. That is what he said.

Mr. Liebeler. That didn't surprise you at that time?

Mr. Bouhe. No; that is one of the occupations.

Mr. Liebeler. Now, did he ever discuss with you his relation with the Soviet Government, how he got along with them and what he thought of the Soviet Government?

Mr. Bouhe. I have never asked him. He never volunteered it. And much as I'd like to assist you further, I swear again I never discussed or heard him volunteer any such thing.

Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you why he decided to come back from Russia?
