United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. At least they appear to be, as far as you can tell?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And the rifle is the same, or appears to be, is it not?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 144, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit 145 is a small cardboard box containing two
bullets, .38 caliber.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recognize those as appearing to be the size of the
bullets that your husband had for the pistol?
Mrs. OSWALD. It is hard for me to tell, because I don't understand
about this. I never looked at them, because I am afraid.
Mr. RANKIN. But you have seen bullets like that, have you, in your
husband's apartment or rooming house, or in the Neely apartment or at
Mrs. Paine's?
Mrs. OSWALD. At Mrs. Paine's I never saw any shells.
On Neely Street, perhaps it is similar--New Orleans. It looks like it.
If they fit Lee's pistol, then they must be the right ones.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit 145.
The CHAIRMAN. Admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 145, and
received in evidence.)
The CHAIRMAN. We will take a short recess.
(Brief recess.)
The CHAIRMAN. We will be in order, please.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, would you step over with the interpreter to
this desk and point out the different pieces of clothing as we ask you
about it, please?
Do you know the shirt that Lee Oswald wore the morning that he left?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't remember. What else interests you? What do you
want?
Mr. RANKIN. Can you tell us whether any of this clothing set out on
this desk belonged to Lee Oswald?
Mrs. OSWALD. These are Lee's shoes.
Mr. RANKIN. When you say the shoes, you pointed to Exhibit 149?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. This is a pair of shoes of which Exhibit 149 is a
photograph.
Mrs. OSWALD. These are his bath slippers.
Mr. RANKIN. Exhibit 148 are his bath slippers?
Mrs. OSWALD. Japanese bath slippers. These shoes I have never seen.
Mr. RANKIN. That is Exhibit 147, you say those are shoes you have never
seen?
How about Exhibit 146?
Mrs. OSWALD. These are his, yes. These are all Lee's shirts.
Mr. RANKIN. Exhibits 150, 151----
Mrs. OSWALD. These are his pajamas.
Mr. RANKIN. Exhibits 150, and 151 are Lee Oswald's shirts, is that
right?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And Exhibit 152 is a pair of his pajamas?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And Exhibit 153--you recognize that?
Mrs. OSWALD. That is his shirt.
Mr. RANKIN. And Exhibit 154? Is that one of his shirts?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Exhibit 155?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, also. Why is it all torn?
Mr. RANKIN. We are advised it was when he was hurt, they cut into some
of these.
Do you recall whether or not he was wearing Exhibit--the shirt that I
point to now, the morning of the 22d of November--Exhibit 150?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, it was a dark shirt.
Mr. RANKIN. You think that was the one?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
