Mrs. OSWALD. It is an overhead door and the rifle was to the left, on the floor. It was always in the same place. Mr. RANKIN. Was there anything else close to the rifle that you recall? Mrs. OSWALD. Next to it there were some--next to the rifle there were some suitcases and Ruth had some paper barrels in the garage where the kids used to play. Mr. RANKIN. The way the rifle was wrapped with a blanket, could you tell whether or not the rifle had been removed and the blanket just left there at any time? Mrs. OSWALD. It always had the appearance of having something inside of it. But I only looked at it really once, and I was always sure the rifle was in it. Therefore, it is very hard to determine when the rifle was taken. I only assumed that it was on Thursday, because Lee had arrived so unexpectedly for some reason. Mr. RANKIN. Did you believe that the reason for his coming out to see you Thursday was to make up? Mrs. OSWALD. I think there were two reasons. One was to make up with me, and the other to take the rifle. This is--this, of course, is not irreconcilable. Mr. RANKIN. But you think he came to take the rifle because of what you learned since. Is that it? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, of course. Mr. RANKIN. Before this incident about the fictitious name, were you and your husband getting along quite well? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. Did he seem to like his job at the depository? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, because it was not dirty work. Mr. RANKIN. Had he talked about getting any other job? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. When he went to answer some ads, he preferred to get some work connected with photography rather than this work. He liked this work relatively speaking--he liked it. But, of course, he wanted to get something better. Mr. RANKIN. Did you like the photographic work? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. It was interesting for him. When he would see his work in the newspaper he would always point it out. Mr. RANKIN. He had a reference in his notebook to the word "Microdot". Do you know what he meant by that? Mrs. OSWALD. No. Mr. RANKIN. How did your husband get along with Mrs. Paine? Mrs. OSWALD. He was polite to her, as an acquaintance would be, but he didn't like her. He told me that he detested her--a tall and stupid woman. She is, of course, not too smart, but most people aren't. Mr. RANKIN. Did he ever say anything to indicate he thought Mrs. Paine was coming between him and you? Mrs. OSWALD. No. Mr. RANKIN. Did Mrs. Paine say anything about your husband? Mrs. OSWALD. She didn't say anything bad. I don't know what she thought. But she didn't say anything bad. Perhaps she didn't like something about him, but she didn't tell me. She didn't want to hurt me by saying anything. Mr. RANKIN. I have understood from your testimony that you did not really care to go to Russia but your husband was the one that was urging that, and that is why you requested the visa, is that correct? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
