Mr. Hall. Yes; we discussed what was going to happen, and in this Oswald was going to move to Dallas and try to locate a job. In the meantime, since my business was in Odessa, financial difficulties they already were having, Marina would move in with my wife and live there while Oswald came to Dallas and got a job and got himself settled.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember whether Oswald had any job at that time?
Mr. Hall. At that time he did not have a job, and George Bouhe and I discussed this.
That afternoon I called my father, who is with the Murray Gin Co. here in Dallas, because they have a machine shop and such. Oswald told me that he worked in sheet-metal work in Russia, and so I called dad, and dad said that he didn't think they had anything. And I told George Bouhe that if he would check with personnel in the morning—that was on Saturday—if he would check with them on Monday morning and see, we would like to give this guy a job.
It turned out that George called my father and dad talked to the personnel manager and there wasn't anything available at the Murray Co. Then through hearsay, actually Oswald came to Dallas and got a job through the Texas Employment Commission, and that was that for the time being.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember who told you that Oswald got a job through the Texas Employment Commission?
Mr. Hall. George Bouhe, I guess.
Mr. Liebeler. When you went to Oswald's apartment in Fort Worth this first time with Bouhe and the other people that you mentioned, did you then meet Oswald?
Mr. Hall. Oh, yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you speak to him, and did he speak to you?
