United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. You said before that you learned about the depository job
at some neighbor's home, is that right?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. In whose home was that?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know her last name. When you walk out of the Paine
house, it is the first house to the right. I am trying to remember.
Perhaps later I will.
Mr. RANKIN. Was it the lady of that house who told you, or someone that
was a guest there?
Mrs. OSWALD. Perhaps you know the name.
Mr. RANKIN. We don't know the name of the lady next door. We know a
number of names, but not by the location.
Mrs. OSWALD. Her first name is Dorothy. And there was another woman
there, another neighbor, who said that her brother worked at the
depository, and that as far as she knew, there was a vacancy there.
Mr. RANKIN. And what was the name of that neighbor whose brother worked
at the depository?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know.
Mr. RANKIN. Was that Mrs. Randle?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know. I might know her first name if you mention
it.
Mr. RANKIN. Is there a Linnie Mae Randle that you remember?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. Was she a sister of Mr. Frazier?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know such people.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know a Mr. Frazier that had a job at the depository?
Mrs. OSWALD. I didn't know his name. I knew that it was a young man. I
don't think he was 18 yet.
Mr. RANKIN. And was he the brother of this friend who was at the
neighbor's house?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And he was the one that your husband rode from Irving into
Dallas from time to time to go to work, did he?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, after Lee was already working this boy would bring
Lee and take him back with him to Dallas.
Mr. RANKIN. And when did he take him, ordinarily?
Mrs. OSWALD. 8 o'clock in the morning.
Mr. RANKIN. And did he take him on Monday morning?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Usually each week he would take him on Monday morning?
Mrs. OSWALD. When Lee came for a weekend, yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And then when did he bring him back from Dallas?
Mrs. OSWALD. At 5:30 on Friday.
Mr. RANKIN. Did your husband ever come in the middle of the week?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, only during the last week when all of this happened
with reference to the assassination of the President--he came on a
Thursday.
Mr. RANKIN. Did Mrs. Paine have anything to do with your husband
getting this job at the depository?
Mrs. OSWALD. She had no direct connection with it, but an indirect
connection, of course. I lived with her and she talked to a neighbor
and mentioned that Lee was out of work.
Mr. RANKIN. Was it Mrs. Paine that found out about the job, then?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. And she telephoned there and asked whether they had
a job available. They didn't say anything specific but they asked that
Lee come there on the following day.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you find out whether your husband did go there the
following day?
