(Testimony of Gary E. Taylor)

Mr. Taylor.
It would be a combination of two letters beginning with the three that we have just been discussing.
Mr. Jenner.
From one of the three we have just discussed?
Mr. Taylor.
Beginning with either an M an N, or a P. All of the N's and P's--like NA or NS or PA or PZ.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
You piled all this material in the covered trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
This was on a Sunday, as I recall your saying?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
When did you return that trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
The same day.
Mr. Jenner.
And you went from Mrs. Hall's to where with the loaded trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
I took the loaded trailer to an apartment on Elsbeth Street in Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
And then what happened when you got there?
Mr. Taylor.
We unloaded it and I returned the trailer to the service station where I had rented it in Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you pay for the renting of that trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
I don't remember for sure.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, somebody paid for it. It wasn't just given to you, was it?
Mr. Taylor.
No. It wasn't given to me. I do not remember, however, who paid for it. I--it comes to mind that Lee probably did--but I can't say specifically that Lee did it.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Lee accompany you to the service station to rent the trailer in the first instance?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And your recollection does not serve you now as to whether upon its return, he paid for it or you did?
Mr. Taylor.
No; payment would be in advance.
Mr. Jenner.
That would be an out-of-pocket payment. Would you say your recollection is, in view of your haziness about it, that you did not pay for it?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
You returned the trailer. Did you help put the household furniture and whatnot into their apartment?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you do that before you returned the trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
After you returned the trailer, did you return to their apartment that same afternoon or evening?
Mr. Taylor.
I can't be absolutely sure whether I returned that evening or not. I'm not sure whether they went back with us or not. I don't----
Mr. Jenner.
Back with you where?
Mr. Taylor.
Back to Fort Worth to return the trailer.
I don't know if they took that ride over there with us or not.
Mr. Jenner.
That would be how much of a ride?
Mr. Taylor.
Uh--round trip it would take probably I hour and 15 minutes.
Mr. Jenner.
What is the distance from the Elsbeth Street address to Fort Worth--just approximately?
Mr. Taylor.
Well, to the place in Fort Worth where the trailer was rented, I would say, it was about 30 miles. And, in case you're wondering about the time, it's all a turnpike and expressway trip.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Did you see the Oswalds, or either of them, after that time?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Next, and under what circumstances?
Mr. Taylor.
Sometime after the move I----am not, again, can't be specific about dates--my memory isn't that good--I visited them by myself, and I believe that the purpose of that visit specifically was to return a manuscript, or at least it's been called that, certainly just a collection of notes Lee had that he had compiled .on his visit to Fort Worth--I mean, on his visit to Russia.
Mr. Jenner.
I Show you in a volume which has a sticker on its front
