Mrs. Bledsoe.

going and getting additional luggage, or did you know when he was leaving the room?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, I didn't know. He said he was going to get some groceries but it might have been that he said that he was going, I don't know. I don't know.
Miss DOUTHIT. Was it when he signed the register that he asked you about the grocery store, or later?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Later.
Miss DOUTHIT. All right. Then you were in your room when he went back in his room. Did you see him leave his room and go out of the house?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.
Miss DOUTHIT. Then where did you go?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Lord have mercy. I don't know.
Miss DOUTHIT. Did you go back out in the yard?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No; I don't think I went into the yard. I was fooling around the house.
Miss DOUTHIT. All right, how far from your room is your kitchen?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

. Oh, Lord. It is a long ways. It is clear across the living room and dining room and the kitchen is right there [indicating].
Miss DOUTHIT. All right, but your room is right next to the room you rented to this man?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Uh-huh.
Miss DOUTHIT. When did you have knowledge that he was back in his room?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, when---I guess when he brought these---brought the milk in.
Miss DOUTHIT. How could he go to the grocery store and get milk unless he had already asked you where the grocery store was?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, I. guess he did, he had already.
Miss DOUTHIT. Okay, then, it was on his return from getting the bag that he asked you about the grocery store, is that right? Or do you remember?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Oh, yes; it wasn't anything said about this when he rented--- about eating. Just--he just rented the room, and not to eat in there.
Miss DOUTHIT. Now, when you had some kind of knowledge, as you just said, could you hear him back in his room, or could you see him back in his room after he left the first time?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, I heard him.
Miss DOUTHIT. Did he come in and talk to you before he left your house the second time?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No; he never did talk to me at all. He didn't talk.
Miss DOUTHIT. The only conversation you had with this Mrs.----with this Mr. Oswald was when he came and rented the room and signed the register?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

And what I got out of him. That's all I could get.
Miss DOUTHIT. Now; did you get any information out of him after he signed the register?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, the next day.
Miss DOUTHIT. I am talking about this one day.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No; didn't get much.
Miss DOUTHIT. Then all of your conversation that you had this Monday that he rented that room took place at one time, is that correct?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

That's correct.
Miss DOUTHIT. Now, he came back, and for some reason you knew he was in there. When did he leave your house the second time?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

When he went to get the groceries.
Miss DOUTHIT. Well, when?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, I don't know.
Miss DOUTHIT. Was he 'when he went to leave, did he come in and say, "I'm going to get some groceries." Did he?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No.
Miss DOUTHIT. You evidently told him about the grocery store the first time when he signed the register and your conversation with him---

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No; I didn't either.
Miss DOUTHIT. Well, you just said you had one conversation with him, and
