Warren Commission (01 of 26): Hearings Vol. I (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Representative FORD. Mrs. Oswald after President Kennedy was
assassinated, your husband was apprehended and later questioned by a
number of authorities. In the questioning he denied that he kept a
rifle at Mrs. Paine's home. He denied shooting President Kennedy. And
he questioned the authenticity of the photographs that you took of him
holding the rifle and the holster.
Now, despite these denials by your husband, you still believe Lee
Oswald killed President Kennedy?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Representative FORD. That is all.
Representative BOGGS. Mr. Chairman, just one or two other questions.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes.
Representative BOGGS. Mrs. Oswald, when you lived in New Orleans with
your husband, and he was active in this alleged Cuban committee, did
you attend any meetings of any committees--was anyone else present?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, never.
Representative BOGGS. Were there any members of the committee other
than your husband?
Mrs. OSWALD. There was no one. There was no one. There was no
organization in New Orleans. Only Lee was there.
Representative BOGGS. One other question. Did he also dislike Russia
when he was in Russia?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Representative BOGGS. Thank you.
The CHAIRMAN. Well, Mrs. Oswald, you have been a very cooperative
witness. You have helped the Commission. We are grateful to you for
doing this. We realize that this has been a hard ordeal for you to go
through.
Mrs. OSWALD. It was difficult to speak all the truth.
The CHAIRMAN. We hope you know that the questions we have asked you
have--none of them have been from curiosity or to embarrass you, but
only to report to the world what the truth is.
Now, after you leave here, you may have a copy of everything you have
testified to. You may read it, and if there is anything that you think
was not correctly recorded, or anything you would like to add to it,
you may do so.
Mrs. OSWALD. I unfortunately--I cannot--since it will be in English.
The CHAIRMAN. Your lawyer may read it for you, and if he points out
something to you that you think you should have changed, you may feel
free to do that.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, he will read it.
The CHAIRMAN. And if in the future we should like to ask you some more
questions about something that develops through the investigation,
would you be willing to come back and talk to us again?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
The CHAIRMAN. We hope it won't be necessary to disturb you. But if it
is, you would be willing to come, would you not?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much.
Representative FORD. Mr. Chairman--I would just like to suggest that
if Mrs. Oswald does wish to revise any of her testimony, that this be
called to the attention of the Commission through her attorney, Mr.
Thorne.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes, of course. That is the proper procedure.
