Mr. Johnson. Uh—yes. We all—uh—were just discussing it, you know. And she told him—I believe she did—or my wife did. Said, "Well, that's the reason we didn't understand who they were looking for—because we didn't know him as Oswald."
Mr. Belin. All right. Who recognized his face on television first? You or Mrs. Roberts?
Mr. Johnson. I believe I was the one—best I remember.
Mr. Belin. Was Mrs. Roberts looking at television at the same time you were then, or not?
Mr. Johnson. Well, we were all talking—talking, like I say, to the officers and so forth. And—uh—I believe though that she was looking at it at the same time I was. My wife had just stepped out of the house with the officers.
Mr. Belin. Now, what did Mrs. Roberts say about this man having been at the home earlier that day—this O. H. Lee, which they had identified as Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Johnson. She just—uh—I believe she told them that he came in and got a little—uh—sport coat, or some sort of a little coat, and slipped it on and went right back out. And she said that she made the remark that he—said, "You must be in a hurry"—and he didn't say anything; went on out the door.
And the next thing we knew or heard of him was after Tippit was shot.
Mr. Belin. Do you remember anything else she said about Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to your home?
Mr. Johnson. No. That's just about it.
