Mr. Conway. Yes; he would become angry with them but as far as actually seeing him fight—the children didn't fight with him much, they got out of his way. They would hide or move on and it would be pretty hard to catch him in a fight because it would be pretty hard for him to have caught one of them.
Mr. Jenner. Was this a persistent sort of thing over a period of 4 years or were they isolated incidences?
Mr. Conway. Naturally, it's hard to say, but I would see those things not too often, but you know that was just the picture it built in my mind. I didn't see him very often—I have seen him try to fight with his half brother and his brother and he would tear into them and they would hold him off to try to keep him out of trouble and he would try to kick their shins, just all sort of things like that—I don't—it's been a long time.
Mr. Jenner. Was he left alone a good deal?
Mr. Conway. Yes, sir; quite a lot.
Mr. Jenner. Describe that circumstance, will you please?
Mr. Conway. That would be hard for me to describe to you too accurately because no more than I know about it, but I do know he would get home—I would hear the boys, one of them say to the other one, "Where is Lee," and they would say, "He's in the house," or something like that and that's about all I would know. But I would see him in and out. He had a dog that he was very fond of, Lee did, and I would see him play with the dog around the place and I would have reason for accurate knowledge that there was no one there but him, but so far as just being absolutely sure—I'm not.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have a recollection now whether Mrs. Oswald, his mother, worked?
Mr. Conway. Yes, sir; she did work and I have heard my wife speak of where she worked, but I don't recall. She worked days and I usually worked nights—I usually worked nights.
Mr. Jenner. So you were around the neighborhood, was that true, of this 4-year period as a rule?
