United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. EVANS. Well, he could get angry with his mother. That was when he
was in his teens, of course, the way he would holler at her when he
wanted to eat, or something like that, and when he would holler, she
would jump up and practically run to do whatever he wanted her to do.
Of course, I don't know anything about his manhood, because I was only
in his company about 3 or 4 hours then.
Mr. JENNER. Would you say he was a pleasant and inviting individual
with whom you yourself would seek to be in his presence, or be with
him, or just what sort of emotions did he display generally? That's
what I'm getting at.
Mrs. EVANS. Well, he didn't laugh too much, and he wasn't a light type
of person. He was what I would call deep. He wasn't real friendly. To
like him, you would have to know him. I mean, even as a child, you
didn't warm to him, because he was very quiet and deep, and of course I
didn't have too much contact with him. Most of my contact with with his
mother.
Mr. JENNER. All right, Mrs. Evans, I appreciate very much your coming
in and giving me this information, and I know it will be helpful to the
Commission in its evaluation of all the evidence with regard to this
matter.
Now, in the taking of this deposition, it is your privilege to read
your deposition over and to sign it. It is also your privilege to waive
that. In other words, you don't have to read and sign it unless you
want to. You can waive that privilege, and the reporter will go ahead
and transcribe your testimony, and it will be sent on to Washington,
but if you prefer to read and sign it, the reporter will transcribe it,
and you will be notified by the United States Attorney here when to
come in and read and sign it.
As I have told you before, your testimony will not be disclosed other
than by the Commission when and if the Commission deems it necessary.
What is your pleasure on that now, Mrs. Evans? Do you want to read and
sign your deposition, or do you want to waive that?
Mrs. EVANS. Oh, I will waive it. I have just told what I know about it,
and that's all I can tell you.
Mr. JENNER. You wish to waive the reading and signing and trust to the
reporter's ability and competence in transcribing your deposition, is
that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. All right; thank you again, Mrs. Evans, for appearing here
voluntarily, and giving us this information.
