United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. OSWALD. Sometimes we went shopping to stores, and movies, though
Lee really went to the movies himself. He wanted to take me but I did
not understand English. Then on weekends we would go to a lake not far
away or to a park or to a cafe for some ice cream.
Mr. RANKIN. When you went to the lake or the park did you take food
with you and have a picnic?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. How did you get to the lake or the park, by bus or car, or
what means of transportation?
Mrs. OSWALD. It was only 10 minutes away, 10 minutes walking time from
us.
Mr. RANKIN. Were either you or your husband taking any schooling at
that time?
Mrs. OSWALD. Lee took English courses or typing courses.
Mr. RANKIN. During what days of the week were these typing courses?
Mrs. OSWALD. It was three days a week. I don't remember exactly what
the days were. It seems to me it was 1 day at the beginning of the week
and 2 days at the end of the week that he took these night courses.
Mr. RANKIN. Would it help you to recall if I suggested they were
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday?
Mrs. OSWALD. It seems to me that is the way it was. I know it was on
Monday.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall what hours of the evening he was supposed to
be at these classes?
Mrs. OSWALD. It seems that it was from 7 until 9.
Mr. RANKIN. About what time would he get home from work?
Mrs. OSWALD. About 5 to 5:30.
Mr. RANKIN. Then would you eat your evening meal?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. How soon after that would he leave for the class?
Mrs. OSWALD. When Lee took his courses he generally did not come home
for dinner, usually he didn't.
Mr. RANKIN. Did he practice his typewriting at home at all?
Mrs. OSWALD. At home, no. But he had a book, a textbook on typing which
he would review when he was at home.
Mr. RANKIN. How soon after the class was over did he come home
ordinarily?
Mrs. OSWALD. Nine o'clock.
Mr. RANKIN. Did he tell you anything about friends that he met at these
classes?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. While you were at Elsbeth Street do you recall seeing any
guns in your apartment?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you remember exhibiting any guns to the De
Mohrenschildt's while you were at Elsbeth Street?
Mrs. OSWALD. That was on Neely Street, perhaps you are confused, this
was on Neely Street.
Mr. RANKIN. When did you move to Neely Street from the Elsbeth Street
apartment?
Mrs. OSWALD. In January after the new year. I don't remember exactly.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you remember why you moved from Elsbeth to Neely Street?
Mrs. OSWALD. I like it better on Neely Street. We had a porch there and
that was more convenient for the child.
Mr. RANKIN. What size apartment did you have on Neely Street?
Mrs. OSWALD. The same type of apartment.
Mr. RANKIN. Was the only difference the terrace then?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, except that it was on the second floor. It was a
second-floor apartment.
Mr. RANKIN. Was the Elsbeth Street apartment a first-floor apartment?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
