Mr. Ball. At 1026 North Beckley?
Mrs. Johnson. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Has she been working for you for that period of time?
Mrs. Johnson. No, sir; I let Mrs. Roberts go a time or two, then I would hire her back.
Mr. Ball. Was there some reason why you let her go?
Mrs. Johnson. Well, she would just get to being disagreeable with renters and I don't know, she has a lot of handicaps. She has an overweight problem and she has some habits that some people have to understand to tolerate.
Mrs. Johnson. Talking, just sitting down and making up tales, you know, have you ever seen people like that? Just have a creative mind, there's nothing to it, and just make up and keep talking until she just makes a lie out of it. Listen, I'm telling you the truth and this isn't to go any further, understand that? You have to know these things because you are going to question this lady. I will tell you, she's just as intelligent—I think she is a person that doesn't mean to do that but she just does it automatically. It seems as though that she, oh, I don't know, wants to be attractive or something at times. I just don't know; I don't understand it myself. I only wish I did.
Mr. Ball. She was working for you in October and November while Oswald was a renter with you?
Mrs. Johnson. Yes, she was. This Saturday night will be 3 weeks she left.
