United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. OSWALD. This is only that the word "rifle" scares you, but it
is quite harmless. This is Peter Gregory, Paul. He is also studying
Russian. And he had to make a report at the institute about Pagodzin's
play "Man with a Rifle". This play is about the revolution in Russia,
and there is a film. I helped him with it.
Mr. RANKIN. You are satisfied that has nothing to do with the
assassination?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit 132.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 132, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit 133 contains two photographs.
These are pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald with a rifle and pistol.
Mrs. OSWALD. For me at first they appeared to be one and the same, at
first glance. But they are different poses.
Mr. RANKIN. You took both of those pictures, did you, in Exhibit 133?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And are those the pictures you took when you were out
hanging up diapers, and your husband asked you to take the pictures of
him?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. With the pistol and the rifle?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence Exhibit 133.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit No. 133, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall whether these pictures in Exhibit 133 were
taken before or after the Walker incident?
Mrs. OSWALD. Before.
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit 134 is an enlargement of one of these
pictures--what purports to be an enlargement.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, this is an enlargement of that photograph.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, in Exhibit 133, in one of the pictures your
husband has a newspaper, it appears.
Mr. DULLES. I think in both of them.
Mr. RANKIN. I want to correct that.
In both he appears to have a newspaper. In one of them he has the
newspaper in the right hand and in the other in the left hand. Do you
know what newspaper that is?
Mrs. OSWALD. It says there "Militant." But I don't know what kind of a
paper that is--whether it is Communist, anti-Communist.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall how much earlier than the Walker incident you
took these photographs?
Mrs. OSWALD. About two weeks.
Mr. RANKIN. Was the enlargement of one of those pictures, Exhibit 134,
made by you, or by someone else?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, I don't know who made the enlargement.
Mr. RANKIN. Have you seen Exhibit 134, the enlargement, before this?
Mrs. OSWALD. No. I have been shown an enlargement, but I don't know
whether this is the one I have been shown.
Mr. RANKIN. Who showed that to you?
Mrs. OSWALD. Apart from Mr. Gopadze, somebody else showed me an
enlargement.
Mr. RANKIN. Does this appear to be like the enlargement that you saw?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. I think it was specially enlarged for the
investigation.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit No. 134.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
