United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. RAY. Really not this way but we decided that he just not any
count. He isn't any good. He said he try to be smart; he don't have
enough sense. Said--they said they going to be through with him. They
don't want have anything to do with him any more.
Mr. LIEBELER. Was this conversation carried on in Russian or in English?
Mrs. RAY. In Russian.
Mr. LIEBELER. Was your husband there at the time?
Mrs. RAY. Yeah; sometimes we tell him what is going on and he ask me
sometimes. He remember this discussion, too.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you tell him about the discussion in English or did
Mr. Bouhe?
Mrs. RAY. Well, we half way talk in Russian and then we get in on
English, you know, and part what when he interested in something we
tell him and he mostly, he know what we talking about.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you have any other reason for thinking that Oswald
might be a Russian agent other than the fact that he had gotten married
to Marina and left Russia with such ease? Was there any other reason
that led you to suspect he might be an agent?
Mrs. RAY. I don't know; I cannot recall it but I cannot--I don't know
how to tell, that is just my opinion but seems to be he very easy can
quit job and go in Moscow. In Russia that isn't so easy quit job. They
send me in Siberia; I have to stay there. I cannot quit. I cannot go
home and stay there and work. I have to get permission and stay there
and working. I imagine he have permission to go to Moscow, but he
seems--from Minsk going to Moscow; I don't know what he been doing but
not as far as this; other, I don't know.
Mr. LIEBELER. So you thought that in addition to his apparent--in
addition to the apparent ease with which he left Russia and the fact he
was able to get married and bring Marina out and also because he was
able to move from Minsk to Moscow, those are three reasons you thought
he might be an agent. Did you have any other reason that led you to
believe that?
Mrs. RAY. Well, main things--I don't thought those things be made
him agent. I thought that's in Russia get better if they let people
quit job and travel and let Marina come back here so easy. I don't
thought--that's main things he can be as agent but how come this man
coming to my mind, Russia have such a tricks that we thought never can
tell what they----
Mr. LIEBELER. Would do?
Mrs. RAY. Will do with him, really; see, I study in college and they
don't need Communists coming to Russia. They need Communists going to
other country and working.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever receive any training or did you know people
who received training in college when you were in Russia to go outside
Russia and be agents for Russia?
Mrs. RAY. No; I never received but I do know that we have it in Russia.
Mr. LIEBELER. How do you know; do you have schools like that?
