United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. EVANS. Right. There was a landlady there, after that was all over
there, she told us that--well, in fact, these two guys that I room
with had rented the apartment, and I was out of town, and called me
long distance and wanted to know if I wanted to share it with them,
because it was pretty expensive for two men, and no more than we
stayed there--I said, well, I had to stay somewhere, and had to have a
phone so that the company could call me. Something that you--that they
require is that you have to have a telephone.
Mr. HUBERT. What about the landlady?
Mr. EVANS. She said during the summer months he would climb up on the
roof and sunbath up there.
Mr. HUBERT. Who? Ruby?
Mr. EVANS. Ruby, whatever----
Mr. HUBERT. She tell you that?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What is her name? Do you know?
Mr. EVANS. No; I don’t, but they moved a week or two after that. It
seemed like there was somebody interviewing them--it was a young man
and his wife. They moved out in Irving some place, but I don’t know
where they moved to.
Mr. HUBERT. You mean that is the third partner?
Mr. EVANS. No; that is the landlady or the landlord and his wife, or
the people that rented the apartments.
Mr. HUBERT. And you say they moved and went to live in Irving?
Mr. EVANS. Somewhere, and said he bought them a place.
Mr. HUBERT. So, they don’t manage the apartment any more?
Mr. EVANS. I guess it was about 2 weeks.
Mr. HUBERT. You don’t know their names?
Mr. EVANS. No; see, these two friends of mine, they had rented the
apartment, and they had talked to the landlady and actually only
supposed to be two people staying in there. In fact, they would be--I
would pay them my share and they would pay the note.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know where Slaughter lives now?
Mr. EVANS. Well, he still lives in Houston, and they have given up the
apartment.
Mr. HUBERT. Oh, they have?
Mr. EVANS. Too expensive for two of them.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know what his address is in Houston, or how he could
be reached? Well, he works for the same company that you do?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. That is the Red Ball Motor Freight?
Mr. EVANS. Red Ball Motor Freight.
Mr. HUBERT. Where is it located in Houston, the main office?
Mr. EVANS. 4000–4004 Irving Street, Houston.
Mr. HUBERT. Irving Boulevard, Houston, Tex. Now, I think you have given
the name of the other man.
Mr. EVANS. Scritchfield. Of course, he didn’t----
Mr. HUBERT. Scritchfield?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know where he is?
Mr. EVANS. He is here in Dallas. I mean, he is staying up here. I don’t
know----
Mr. HUBERT. He could be reached through your company, too, is that
right?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, sir.
Mr. EVANS. Isn’t nothing that he knows about it. The only one would be
Malcolm, and he said he seen a man who was dressed up that looked like
him that he spoke to outside the apartment there. I think he went down
to get a letter or something, or check the mail, or something.
