United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. ROWLAND. I saw either the actual shooting on television of Mr.
Oswald or either a rerun, and I saw his picture in the newspaper, but I
don't know if my husband ever saw it or not.
But he did--we heard on the radio the afternoon of the assassination
that Lee Harvey Oswald had been accused of the shooting.
Mr. BELIN. Did you or your husband know anyone by the name of Lee
Harvey Oswald?
Mr. ROWLAND. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Did you or your husband know Jack Ruby?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Not to my knowledge, I never have known him, and I don't
think he has. If he has, he never told me.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you can think of?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Well, we certainly appreciate your coming down here. You
have been most helpful, Mrs. Rowland.
One final thing. You have an opportunity to either come back and read
what the court reporter has, the transcript after it is typed, and sign
it, or else you can waive coming down and taking the time to read it
and sign it, and have it go directly to Washington.
Do you care to come down to read it?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. If you like to, you have every right to do so.
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes; I would.
Mr. BELIN. You will be contacted then, and you can come down and read
it and make any corrections, if you like.
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes; could I, other than making corrections have it
rewritten in better English?
Mr. BELIN. No, I'm afraid my English at times isn't very good,
Mrs. Rowland, and we have to let it go the way it is right now. By
corrections, I mean anything where you feel the court reporter might
not have accurately transcribed the words that you and I said here.
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. If either one used bad grammar, the English teachers will
have to look down their noses at us.
Thank you.
Mrs. ROWLAND. Thank you.
