United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. ADAMCIK. Shortly after we got through with him, with this, I
believe Lee Oswald's mother came in. I don't remember whether she had
been in previous and was in some other office, but I know they brought
her in the same office we were in at that time, and after we got
through, they were all sitting in the same room together, Mrs. Oswald,
Lee's mother, and the wife, and the children, and Mrs. Paine, and
Michael Paine.
Mr. BELIN. Did Lee Oswald's mother say anything?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No; she kind of didn't say anything definite. She kind
of had the feeling--I don't know how to explain it--just like this,
well, she didn't realize what really happened and just couldn't quite
understand it, or something. She didn't say.
Mr. BELIN. What about Lee Oswald's brother?
Mr. ADAMCIK. To me, he was in there, too. I didn't break that up. He
seemed rather calm to me. He was real calm and real collected.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say anything at all?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Not to me, not in my presence.
Mr. BELIN. All right, then, what did you do?
Mr. ADAMCIK. I was asked by Captain Fritz to take these people home,
and he wanted me to take someone with me, and I took Lieutenant
McKinney, who was one of the lieutenants in the forgery bureau. I used
his car, and he went along with me to take these people home.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do? First of all, did they say anything
more on the way home about the incident or not?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No; I believe the only thing I definitely remember is that
Marina Oswald kept saying, telling Mrs. Oswald that this was her home,
and she still decided she would like to stay here. She didn't want to
go back to Russia. I remember her saying that.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember someone saying that through an interpreter?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Right. Mrs. Paine was there, and she could interpret.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mr. ADAMCIK. She wasn't real good, but she could speak enough Russian
to interpret a little bit.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. ADAMCIK. We took them to Irving, to the Paine house. At this time
I believe Mrs. Oswald was the only other person that we took back
there to the Paine house that didn't come down to the station with us
originally.
Mr. BELIN. You mean the mother?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Yes; the mother, she went back with us.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Well, this was fairly late. I guess it was around 10
o'clock when we got back, so apparently it was around 9 when we started
taking them to Irving, and got back about 10.
We just dropped them off at the house and went on back to the office.
Mr. BELIN. What did you do when you got back to the office?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Went to the office and I stayed there a while, and I
guess it was around 11 o'clock, I mean the interrogation room in the
captain's office, and spent about 15 minutes.
Mr. BELIN. Why did you go in the interrogation room?
