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
I was asking this lady to give me the name of this book so I could find
it, and she put this book so well on the shelf and after a few years
finally, she sends me the name of this book, and when I met Mr. Bouhe,
I told him I would like to buy a book, which is a very old edition,
maybe 60 years ago, which now probably they wouldn't make it any more.
He said, "That's what I like to do. I like to do everything. I don't
have too much to do," and you know, he has nothing much to do and he
says that he will find it. Finally, he found these two books, one for
$60 and one for $20. So, I said, "I don't care about the book, I care
only about my mother, the picture of my mother. I will pay for it $20."
And, at 7 o'clock in the morning he calls me and he says, "I have this
book--or rather it has arrived. Which one is portrait of your mother?"
There were about 20 portraits of different girls in costumes and how
can I tell him which one is my mother and I said, "You bring me book
and I will show you. I cannot tell you."
And he said, "Oh, how can you not tell about your mother, how she looks
and so forth?'
I said, "I cannot tell you. Come and I will show you, and why do you
call me at 7 o'clock in the morning. I have to rush to my job and I
have no time to talk now." So, he hung up. Then, in the evening I
found the book in the threshold of the house. So, indeed, after my
job I called him on the telephone and I told him, I wanted to thank
him for it and ask him, "Why didn't you come in the evening so I can
show you where is my mother?" And he told me, "I don't want to know
you any more. You were so rude to me, you didn't want to tell me which
one is your mother so I don't want to know you any more and I am not
interested in it." I said, "That's your privilege. I cannot force
myself on you, if you don't want to know me." So, that was a break, you
know, so since that--it was about more than 1 year I have lost track of
it.
After this I was not at his house. So, I meet him socially sometimes at
Mrs. Ford's house and shake hands with him, but I not invite him. He
says he doesn't want me to know him--he doesn't want to know me, so I
do not invite him to my house, he does not invite me to his house; and
that's the situation, and I didn't meet him since--since this case, but
I have nothing against him, but I was expecting from him some apology.
I am an older woman and, after all, he is a man and I am a lady and
when he told me he doesn't want to know me, so that's his, you know,
duty to excuse me. I was a little bit rough, or something, and that's
the end, but he didn't, so I'm stubborn too, so that was the end with
Mr. Bouhe, and I never met him one time, and when I meet him, I say,
"Hello, how are you," and that's all.
Mr. JENNER. How did these people, Lee Oswald and Marina Oswald act
toward each other on the occasion when you saw them?
