Mr. Bouhe. Yes; he did.
Mr. Liebeler. What did he tell you?
Mr. Bouhe. He told Mrs. Cunningham—he is a Ph. D., a very kind man—he said he didn't know the man from Adam, but he has a wife and a little baby, and if he can get a job it would help the family to get on their feet.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you learn that Oswald subsequently did obtain a job in Dallas?
Mr. Bouhe. Yes, I did. And as a person who at that time suspected nothing except that I had a desire if I could, to put him on his feet economically so he could support his wife and child—I said, now those were my words, "Lee, you've now got a job, a lithographic job at a $1.45 an hour as an apprentice. If you apply yourself"—those were my very words—"in a couple years you'll have a skill that can be saleable any place."
And he said, "You think so." And he didn't even say thank you.
Then I added, "Well, I would like to hear how you get along," which is a standard statement I would ask anybody.
And for 2 or 3—or possibly 5 days thereafter he would call me at 6 o'clock, I guess when he finished his work, and say, "I am doing fine. Bye."
Mr. Liebeler. That would be the extent of his conversation with you on the telephone?
Mr. Bouhe. Yes.
