Warren Commission (08 of 26): Hearings Vol. VIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. EVANS. Well, we didn't know what to think; whether he was in
this by himself, or whether he had accomplices, or what, and my wife
had planned to go up and visit his wife up at their apartment up on
Magazine, but after that came on the screen, and all, she decided not
to go. She said she didn't know what he was getting himself involved
in, but that she had better not go up there, and she didn't.
Mr. JENNER. Then neither you nor your wife visited them at their
apartment on Magazine Street; is that right?
Mr. EVANS. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. You did not?
Mr. EVANS. No.
Mr. JENNER. And they never did visit you after that, either; is that
right?
Mr. EVANS. That's right. They didn't visit us, and we didn't visit them.
Mr. JENNER. Was there any discussion of President Kennedy at this
breakfast that you had with your wife and Lee that morning he first
showed up--at least, before you left for work?
Mr. EVANS. No.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything like that mentioned at all as long as you were
there, at least?
Mr. EVANS. No. Like I said, I just finished a cup of coffee and left. I
had to get to the office.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever see Lee Oswald in any fits of temper, so to
speak?
Mr. EVANS. No; I didn't. I never did actually see anything like that,
but I could hear him all right, the way he would shout at his mother
and so forth. I mean, but I never did actually see him at times like
that. He would be up in the apartment. From what I could hear, though,
I could tell that he was very demanding of her.
Mr. JENNER. Very demanding of his mother?
Mr. EVANS. Yes; he was.
Mr. JENNER. What other impressions did you have of this boy?
Mr. EVANS. Well, I thought he was a psycho. I really did. He was
so young to be acting the way he did. Of course, there is no doubt
that his mother really spoiled him. She would do just about anything
he wanted, if it was possible to be done, like giving him money or
anything like that, and I understand that he was the cause of his
mother's divorce from Ekdahl. Ekdahl said that Lee was more demanding
of his mother than he was, and he was her husband.
Mr. JENNER. You had the impression that Lee came between her and Mr.
Ekdahl?
Mr. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Give me your impression of Marguerite Oswald.
Mr. EVANS. Marguerite?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
