Warren Commission (09 of 26): Hearings Vol. IX (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GREGORY. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. You didn't pay for the bus tickets, did you?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. You let them off at the bus station in Fort Worth?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. You let them--did you ever give any money to either Lee
or Marina Oswald?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes; I gave Marina a check. As I remember, it was around
$35 or $40, something like that.
This was for the Russian lessons which she did give me. As I remember,
$35, something like that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Is that all the money that you gave to either of them?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And that check was made out to Marina Oswald, is that
correct?
Mr. GREGORY. Marina.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever lend the Oswalds any money?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever see anybody else ever give either of the
Oswalds any money?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know of anybody else ever giving them any money?
Mr. GREGORY. I believe Mr. Bouhe gave them money. I know he gave them
gifts, playthings for their daughter, and possibly clothes. I heard he
gave them clothes, but I, myself, did not see this, so that is hearsay.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did either of the Oswalds ever spend any money or pay any
bills while in your presence?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes. I often took them--I believe the second day I would
go over in the week was Friday, and I would usually take them shopping
and we would go down to a Leonard Department Store where you could get
groceries cheaper, and they would buy their groceries at this time. But
the only articles they were purchasing in my presence was food.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you have any recollection of approximately how much
they spent on food?
Mr. GREGORY. It was very little. I recall I was amazed at how little
they bought, and that Lee would always be very careful with the meat.
He would be sure to get the cheapest possible cut he could get, and
he would haggle and make sure they gave him the best. I mean, that he
would get the better cuts and things like that. I remember they bought
very little though.
Mr. LIEBELER. Other than the groceries, you never saw them spend any
money or pay any bills; is that correct?
Mr. GREGORY. No; never.
Mr. LIEBELER. You did not see them? I suppose the answer should be,
"Yes; I did not see them"?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes; I did not see them paying any bills.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did the Oswalds ever discuss their finances with you, or
discuss their finances between themselves that you ever heard?
Mr. GREGORY. Not that I can remember. There is something faintly about
them saying, "Well, if we had this money, we would buy something for
June Lee," but I can't think of any specific instance.
