FIELD EXAMINER'S MEMORANDUM

DATE: 19 MARCH 1954

CASE FILE:  	HOLLEN, WOODROW W, XC 16 586 695

SUBJECT:  INTERVIEW WITH ORPHEUS APPLE, PAOLI, INDIANA

On March 19, 1954, the undersigned personally interviewed Mr. Orpheus APPLE, age 76, widower, 816 W. Main Street, Paoli, Indiana, relative to the above case.  Mr. APPLE had married the sister of James F. DAVIS, and from a time prior to 1929 until about the time of his wife's death, he and his family had lived in the country south of Paoli about one and one-half miles from where James F. DAVIS and his wife, Inice, and her children lived; that he was living there when DAVIS and his wife moved into the HOLLAND home and later into the home of Mrs. Davis' mother, Mary HOLLAND; that he Orpheus APPLE, never visited DAVIS or his family, but he had contact with DAVIS and occasionally the children from time to time; that he saw him in the area occasionally working for other farmers; that he understood that Woodrow HOLLEN, who was about 14 years old when the DAVIS family moved into the community, also lived in the Davis' home as a member of the family; that he saw him in the area, on roads, in local stores, and while he was passing across a field, that while he does not know and could not swear that Woodrow HOLLEN spent most of his time between 1929 and 1937 in the home of James F. DAVIS, nevertheless, he believes that he did spend a considerable part of that time in the home, inasmuch as he was present in the community and in the area of the Davis home so much of the time.  Mr. APPLE stated that he was not a close relative of Harrison APPLE, Clyde APPLE, or Adam APPLE, and he could not state whether or not Woodrow worked for them for any considerable time.  He had a vague memory that Woodrow did work for a period for one or more of these men.  Mr. APPLE further stated that James F. DAVIS was an easy going individual of rather timid nature and that people generally like him; that he worked around the community and, in his opinion, was the principal means of support of the children of his wife, Inice.
