Mr. EVANS. Yes; paperbacks. He had a lot of them.
Mr. JENNER. Did he go to the public library and get books?
Mr. EVANS. Well, I don't know. I can't answer that, but he did a lot of reading, but, you know, it was mostly this cheap stuff, I think.
Mr. JENNER. Would you say he was a voracious reader?
Mr. EVANS. Yes, he read; he read all the time. I mean, from what I noticed by him being around the apartment.
Mr. JENNER. Did you notice any other traits about him that you wondered about, or that you thought unusual or strange?
Mr. EVANS. He seemed to be in deep thought a lot of times--always thinking. He was hard to get to.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever feel that you ever got to know Lee Oswald, Mr. Evans.
Mr. EVANS. No; I can't say that I ever did. I don't think anybody did. I don't think anybody even came close to it, because the way he was nobody could figure him out. It was hard to get to him or to understand him. He didn't want you to get too close to him, for one thing. He never went out of his way to make friends, I mean, from what I knew of him.
Mr. JENNER. He sort of shied away from friends, or people who might have become friends, or who might have tried to be friendly with him?
Mr. EVANS. Yes; that's it. You would try to be nice to him, but he wouldn't appreciate it, and he didn't mind showing you that he didn't appreciate it. My sister-in-law's children tried to be friendly with him when we had him across the lake to their house. They asked him to go swimming with them, and everything, but he just wanted to be by himself. Finally, the kids got so that they just didn't pay any attention to him. Kids are like that, you know. If he wanted to be that way, that was all right with them. They just went ahead and enjoyed themselves, and to heck with him. They didn't let him bother them at all with the way he acted.
Mr. JENNER. As I gather it, they tried to be friendly with him, but when he wouldn't reciprocate, then they said, in effect, "OK, we won't be friendly; see if we care"; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. Now, when they lived at your apartment, the address was given there as 1454 and then later it was changed to 1452; what was that all about? Could you explain that?
Mr. EVANS. Well, there was nothing to that. They just moved from upstairs to downstairs. We were remodeling the apartment upstairs, and so she moved downstairs, really next door, and when she found out that she wasn't going to be permitted by my wife to move back upstairs, that's when she got mad and left, but, really, Lee had become very noisy and loud, and we just decided that we would rather not have him back in that apartment for that reason--because he was actually disturbing everybody around there with his loudness. You could really tell when he was home.
