Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. Did you and your husband buy groceries in Irving some place?
Mrs. OSWALD. Not always. Sometimes we would go together with Ruth and
buy a few things.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you remember the Hutch's Supermarket, owned by Mr.
Hutchison?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever shop there with your husband?
Mrs. OSWALD. We never went just Lee and I.
Mr. RANKIN. Did the three of you--Mrs. Paine and you and your husband
go together to shop?
Mrs. OSWALD. And her children.
Mr. RANKIN. Did your husband try to cash checks at the Hutch's market?
Mrs. OSWALD. He may have tried to cash checks sometimes when he
received unemployment compensation.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall that he tried to cash a check of $189 at this
market?
Mrs. OSWALD. He didn't have such a check.
Mr. RANKIN. As far as you know, he didn't try to cash a check of that
size at this market?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't remember this market. I do remember one time when
Lee wanted to cash a check, but it was $33.
Mr. RANKIN. Is that the only time that you recall he tried to cash a
check?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Are you speaking of a store in Dallas or in Irving?
Mr. RANKIN. It is in Irving.
Mrs. OSWALD. Then I understand it. Because in Dallas I could not have
been with him.
The CHAIRMAN. The hour of adjournment has arrived. So we will adjourn
now until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
(Whereupon, at 4:30 p.m., the President's Commission adjourned.)
_Wednesday, February 5, 1964_
TESTIMONY OF MRS. LEE HARVEY OSWALD RESUMED
The President's Commission met at 10 a.m., on February 5, 1964, at 200
Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C.
Present were Chief Justice Earl Warren, Chairman; Senator Richard
B. Russell, Senator John Sherman Cooper, Representative Hale Boggs,
Representative Gerald R. Ford, Allen W. Dulles, members.
Also present were J. Lee Rankin, general counsel; Norman Redlich,
assistant counsel; Leon I. Gopadze and William D. Krimer, interpreters;
John M. Thorne, attorney for Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald; and Ruben Efron.
The CHAIRMAN. The Commission will be in order. We will continue with
the examination. Mr. Rankin, you may proceed.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, have you become familiar with the English
language to some extent?
Mrs. OSWALD. I have never studied it, but simple language I do
understand.
Mr. RANKIN. We had reports that you made some study at the Southern
Methodist University. Is there anything to that?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. How about Mr. Gregory? Did you study English with him?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you have any formal aid or teaching of English by
anyone?
Mrs. OSWALD. I had no formal instructions in it, but a Russian
acquaintance, Mr. Bouhe, wrote down some Russian phrases, and I would
try to translate them into English.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, since you have been living with the Martins, I assume
you haven't had any Russian friends to try to translate English for
you, is that right?
