United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. REDLICH. Are you referring to the area where the Neely Street house
was located?
To refresh your recollection, Mr. Martin, the Oswalds lived in two
places in Dallas. One was on Elsbeth Street and the other on Neely. Are
they both in Oak Cliff?
Mr. MARTIN. Yes, Elsbeth Street is right around the corner from Neely
Street, I believe they lived in an apartment on Elsbeth.
It was a group of apartments in one building, and on Neely Street, I
think, that was similar to a duplex.
Mr. REDLICH. And you are not certain as to where this photograph which
was the subject of these negotiations was taken?
Mr. MARTIN. No, except that the Elsbeth address, I believe, was a brick
residence, I mean a brick apartment, it is a dark building, and the
Neely Street address is a white building.
I believe the photo shows a white building.
Mr. REDLICH. On the basis of that you would conclude the photograph was
taken at which address?
Mr. MARTIN. At the Neely Street address.
Mr. REDLICH. At the Neely Street address. When you were negotiating
with various publications for this photograph, didn't anyone ask you
when and where it was taken?
Mr. MARTIN. Yes, I told them that it was while they were living in Oak
Cliff. I didn't say where or when.
Mr. REDLICH. No one asked you.
Mr. MARTIN. And they apparently weren't concerned with the where or
when.
Mr. REDLICH. Did they ask you anything about the publication which Lee
Oswald had in his hand?
Mr. MARTIN. Yes, and I told them that it was either the Militant or the
Worker. I was not sure which one. I am not even sure whether either one.
Mr. REDLICH. Your copy of the photograph did not indicate clearly which
one it was?
Mr. MARTIN. Correct.
Mr. REDLICH. Do you now know which one it was?
Mr. MARTIN. No.
Mr. DULLES. Are you sure it is one of the two?
Mr. MARTIN. No, I am not. I assume that it would be one of the two.
Mr. REDLICH. For the record it is the Militant.
Mr. DULLES. It is?
Mr. REDLICH. Is there anything about the circumstances of this
photograph, including the rifle, the pistol, the time, the place,
anything concerning this photograph that you have not told this
Commission about which you have knowledge?
Mr. MARTIN. No.
Mr. REDLICH. The last item on Commission Exhibit No. 325 is This Week
magazine, $1,000. Could you tell us about that. At the conclusion of
this list I will ask if there is anything else. We are now at This Week
magazine.
Mr. MARTIN. When Marina was here in Washington, she had the press
conference, and at the end of the press conference she mentioned, she
made a statement "Now I go to church." On the way to the CBS studios we
passed a Russian Orthodox Church, and she remarked about it, that she
would like to come back and go inside, see what it looked like. Someone
in This Week magazine caught that statement, and wanted to write a
short article on Marina going to church, and that is what that is.
Mr. REDLICH. What happened? Could you tell us how this article got
written?
