Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. EVANS. Well, whatever date that was, that was the next time I saw
him. I don't know if it was April or May, or even March; I don't know
what date it was, but I got the apartment for him, and he moved in on
the day he rented it, or the next day, I think.
Mr. JENNER. He moved in on the 10th; would that be about right; the day
after he rented the apartment?
Mrs. EVANS. Well, if he rented it on the 9th, then that would be about
right. He moved in the day after, I think it was.
Mr. JENNER. On the 9th of May?
Mrs. EVANS. I guess so; yes. That's when I saw him, on the 9th of May,
and then he moved in on the 10th.
Mr. JENNER. Tell me the circumstances that led to his renting that
apartment, Mrs. Evans.
Mrs. EVANS. Well, the doorbell rang, and my husband hadn't gone to
work. He says he recognized him then, but I don't remember it that
way, but anyway this young man was at the door, and he said he wanted
an apartment, and did I have an apartment to rent, and I didn't have
anything in this building, but I told him about another building I was
fixing up, and I told him I might be able to find something for him,
and he told me he had a wife and child over in Texas, and that he was
going to bring them over here as soon as he could find an apartment,
and that he had to find something right now. He said, "I want something
right away."
When we were walking down the steps, I looked at him real hardlike, and
I didn't recognize him, but something made me ask him, "I know you,
don't I?" and he said, "Sure; I am Lee Oswald; I was just waiting to
see when you were going to recognize me." I said, "Lee Oswald, what
are you doing in this country? I thought you were in Russia. I thought
you had given up your American citizenship and gone behind the Iron
Curtain," and he said, "No," he said, "I went over there," he said,
"but I didn't give up my citizenship." He said he had been back in the
States for quite a while, and that he had brought his Russian wife back
with him; so I told him I would help him look for a place; so I rang up
this friend of mine, and I asked her, I said, "Vickie, do you happen
to know where I can rent an apartment for a young couple with one
little baby?" and she said, "Yes; Myrtle, I will take children. This
is a little duplex," she said, and she said, "This is a nice little
apartment, and I think they will like it," and I said, "How much?" and
she said, "$65," and I said, "Well, he can't spend too much; he is just
getting a new job."
Mr. JENNER. What's her name?
Mrs. EVANS. Mrs. Maynard--Vickie Maynard.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know her husband's first name?
Mrs. EVANS. Charles--Charlie Maynard. She only saw him for about 15
minutes; she has no bearing on this.
Mr. JENNER. Oh, I see.
