Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. Now, if it was the weekend of November 16th and 17th that
he remained in Dallas, would that help you as to the time of the
birthday?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. This was the weekend before the 21st, and he had not
come home that weekend.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, the neighbor next door that you referred to, where you
learned about the job with the depository, could that have been Dorothy
Roberts?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall that your husband went to some meeting with
Michael Paine in October of 1963?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
It seems to me--I know for sure that this was one of the Fridays. It
seems to me that this was the birthday--it was after dinner. They
talked in English. I don't know about what. I know that they got
together and went to some kind of a meeting.
Mr. RANKIN. Was that a meeting of the American Civil Liberties Union?
Mrs. OSWALD. Ruth said something about that, but I didn't understand
anything. This was right after the incident with Stevenson, who was hit.
Mr. RANKIN. Was that in the weekend of October 25th?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, probably. This was not Lee's birthday. It was the
week after that, the following Friday.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, on October 26th, Saturday, was your husband with you
all day?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. All day. Whenever he came, he never went anywhere
else.
Mr. RANKIN. We had some information that a telescopic sight was fitted
to a gun for your husband on that date, and that is why I am asking you
if there was any time that he could have left to have that done.
Mrs. OSWALD. How is it about the telescope? He always had the
telescope. Were there two?
Mr. RANKIN. We are trying to find out.
Someone says that they mounted a sight.
Mrs. OSWALD. This is not the truth, if they say that. Simply people
talking. Perhaps someone who looked like Lee.
Mr. RANKIN. Someone may be mistaken and thought that he had mounted a
telescopic sight when he did it for someone else. And that is why we
want to check with you.
When your husband went back to work on Monday, October 28th, did he
drive with Wesley Frazier at that time?
Mrs. OSWALD. It seems--it seems that he had overslept and that someone
else had picked him up. But, no--no, I remember that he did not come
to get him, but Lee met him near his house. Lee told me that. Or his
sister. I don't remember. Lee told me about it. But I have forgotten.
Mr. RANKIN. But he did not go in by bus that day?
Mrs. OSWALD. No. He said his sister drove him to the bus. I only know
that this boy did not come to get him that day.
Mr. RANKIN. As far as you know, he may have gone all the way into
Dallas in a car, or he may have gone in a bus?
Mrs. OSWALD. Perhaps he hadn't told him to pick him up on that day. I
don't know. I only know the fact that the boy did not pick him up on
that day.
