Mr. RANKIN. This was the first time since you had come to this country then that you had an opportunity to have a home of your own, is that right? Mrs. OSWALD. No, we had our own home in Russia. Mr. RANKIN. Did your husband work a full day at that time on this job? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sometimes he even worked on Saturdays. Mr. RANKIN. What did you do when he came home, did he help you with housework? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. He frequently went to a library. He read a great deal. Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall any of the books that he read at that time? Mrs. OSWALD. No. I only know that they were books more of a historical nature rather than fiction or literature. Mr. RANKIN. In your story in Russian you relate the fact that he read a great deal of the time. Could you describe to the Commission just how that was? Did he go off by himself to read or how did he handle that? Mrs. OSWALD. He would bring a book from a library, sit in the living room and read. I was busy with housework, and that is the way it happened. Mr. RANKIN. Did you have differences between you about the time that he spent reading rather than devoting it to you or the other members of the family? Mrs. OSWALD. No. We did have quarrels about his relationship to his mother, the fact that he didn't want to change his relationship to his mother. I know that he read so much that when we lived in New Orleans he used to read sometimes all night long and in order not to disturb me he would be sitting in the bathroom for several hours reading. Mr. RANKIN. Did your quarrels start at that time when you were at Mercedes Street the first time. Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, we didn't have many quarrels. Mr. RANKIN. When you were at Mercedes Street did you have Robert visit you or did you visit him? Mrs. OSWALD. No, he came to us sometimes. Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall seeing any guns at Mercedes Street while you were there? Mrs. OSWALD. No. Mr. RANKIN. Did your mother-in-law come to see you at Mercedes Street? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. Will you describe the relationship between your husband and your mother-in-law while he was at Mercedes Street? Mrs. OSWALD. She did not want us to move away to Mercedes Street, and Lee did not want to remain with her and did not even want her to visit us after that. Lee did not want her to know the address to which we were moving and Robert helped us in the move. I felt very sorry for her. Sometime after that she visited us while Lee was at work and I was quite surprised wondering about how she found out our address. And then we had a quarrel because he said to me, "Why did you open the door for her, I don't want her to come here any more." Mr. RANKIN. During this period did your husband spend much time with the baby, June? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. He loved children very much. Mr. RANKIN. Did you obtain a television set at that time? Mrs. OSWALD. Lee wanted to buy a television set on credit. He then returned it. Should I speak a little louder?
