Mr. RANKIN. In order to cause him not to be so involved in some of these ideas, did you laugh at some of his ideas that he told you about, and make fun of him? Mrs. OSWALD. Of course. Mr. RANKIN. Did he react to that? Mrs. OSWALD. He became very angry. Mr. RANKIN. And did he ask you at one time, or sometimes, not to make fun of his ideas? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. Now, returning to the period in Russia, while your husband was courting you, did you talk to him, he talk to you, about his childhood? Mrs. OSWALD. No, not very much. Only in connection with photographs, where he was a boy in New York, in the zoo. Then in the Army--there is a snapshot taken right after he joined the Army. Mr. RANKIN. Did he tell you about anything he resented about his childhood? Mrs. OSWALD. He said it was hard for him during his childhood, when he was a boy, because there was a great age difference between him and Robert, and Robert was in some sort of a private school. He also wanted to have a chance to study, but his mother was working, and he couldn't get into a private school, and he was very sorry about it. Mr. RANKIN. In talking about that, did he indicate a feeling that he had not had as good an opportunity as his brother Robert? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. When he talked about his service in the Marines, did he tell you much about what he did? Mrs. OSWALD. He didn't talk much about it, because there wasn't very much there of interest to me. But he was satisfied. Mr. RANKIN. Did he indicate that he was unhappy about his service with the Marines? Mrs. OSWALD. No, he had good memories of his service in the Army. He said that the food was good and that sometimes evenings he had a chance to go out. Mr. RANKIN. Did he say anything about his mother during this period of time? Mrs. OSWALD. This was before we were married. I had once asked Lee whether he had a mother, and he said he had no mother. I started to question him as to what had happened, what happened to her, and he said that I should not question him about it. After we were married, he told me that he had not told me the truth, that he did have a mother, but that he didn't love her very much. Mr. RANKIN. Did he tell you why he didn't love her? Mrs. OSWALD. No. Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall anything more he said about his brother Robert at that time? Mrs. OSWALD. He said that he had a good wife, that he had succeeded fairly well in life, that he was smart and capable. Mr. RANKIN. Did he say anything about having any affection for him? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, he loved Robert. He said that when Robert married Vada that his mother had been against the marriage and that she had made a scene, and this was one of the reasons he didn't like his mother. Mr. RANKIN. Did he say anything about his half brother, by the name of Pic--I guess the last name was Pic--Robert Pic?
