Mr. Liebeler. When did you learn that Oswald had been dismissed from the job, or no longer worked at Reily Coffee Co., if you ever learned that?
Mrs. Garner. I said, it seemed like when he rented the apartment, I didn't think he worked 2 or 3 weeks. Well, but I learned later he didn't get laid off until July 19, something like that, unless they changed shifts, because he was working in the day at first and I used to see him get off the bus in the evening coming home, but then after that I didn't see him any more. He was always sitting on the screen porch reading. He must have been working at night. He was always on the side porch, probably reading all the time.
Mr. Liebeler. You say he read a lot?
Mrs. Garner. He sure did.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you see at any time what he was reading?
Mrs. Garner. Well, it always was books, like those pocket books and papers, real big books, regular books.
Mr. Liebeler. You never saw the names of any of the books?
Mrs. Garner. No; you couldn't get that near him.
Mr. Liebeler. What else did he do with his spare time besides reading?
Mrs. Garner. That's all I ever saw him do. To say if he ever went out or anything like that, he would go back and forth, catch the bus and go, and didn't stay long and come back. How many times he went out at night or anything like that, I don't know. I really couldn't tell you because I wasn't on that side. The few times I did see him I just happened to be out there.
