Mrs. Pitts. I told——

Mr. Hubert. Or was the first time you testified about that voice at the time of the trial?

Mrs. Pitts. I told him some of it. He told me he wasn’t interested in that. He said what he wanted to know if I’d seen a lot of people around there. I didn’t see, because I wasn’t there every day.

Mr. Hubert. Was it suggested to you by anyone that you should say that his voice was strange there?

Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir; I told him that.

Mr. Hubert. No; did anybody suggest to you, at anytime that you should testify that Mr. Ruby’s voice seemed odd that day?

Mrs. Pitts. No, sir; nobody didn’t tell me that, just told me to tell how he talks to me, so, that is what I did.

Mr. Hubert. And you had also told that to Mr. French?

Mrs. Pitts. Yes; I told him he sounded funny to me and strange, and scare me, and there is another reason I didn’t just drop my work at home and go ahead home, because I could have went on to the store right there close and—but I wouldn’t do it, because he talked so funny to me.

Mr. Hubert. You mean you decided at that time that you weren’t going over there that day?
