Mr. THORNLEY. Say May 3 to September 4. Mr. JENNER. You were not in New Orleans? Mr. THORNLEY. Right. Mr. JENNER. You were returning to your home in California? You stayed there for approximately a month or so? Mr. THORNLEY. Longer than that. Mr. JENNER. Longer than that. You then went to Mexico, Mexico City, and you then returned directly to New Orleans? Mr. THORNLEY. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. During none of that period of time did you have any contact with or hear anything about Oswald? Mr. THORNLEY. Definitely not. Mr. JENNER. You at one time at least were acquainted with a lady by the name of Sylvia Bortin? Mr. THORNLEY. Sylvia Bortin? Mr. JENNER. B-o-r-t-i-n. Mr. THORNLEY. Yes; this young lady, by the way---- Mr. JENNER. Where did she reside? Mr. THORNLEY. In Whittier, Calif., or at least last summer she did, I don't know where she resides now. This young lady, by the way, was mentioned in--her mention in this whole matter came out of a misunderstanding on my part of a question asked by the FBI agents. Mr. JENNER. All right. Would you explain that, please? Mr. THORNLEY. I don't recall what the question was--oh, yes, he had asked me something about, I believe it was the First Unitarian Church in Los Angeles. I had mentioned earlier at the time I was talking to Oswald, and knew Oswald, I had been going to the First Unitarian Church in Los Angeles. This is a group of quite far to the left people politically for the most part, and mentioned in order to explain my political relationship with Oswald, at that moment, and he began to ask me questions about the First Unitarian Church and I answered, and then he realized or understood or asked what Oswald's connection with the First Unitarian Church was and I explained to him that there was none. Miss Bortin never knew Oswald and vice versa, and these people were two different parts of my life. There was this civilian compartment and the military compartment, and I never intermingled them. Mr. JENNER. This young lady married and her husband is now in Havana, Cuba? Mr. THORNLEY. That is what she told me last summer; yes. He was going to school in Cuba. Mr. JENNER. I take it this had nothing to do with yourself and Oswald's views with respect to Castro that you told us about. Mr. THORNLEY. No; this happened, I think, later, in fact I am sure it happened later. At that time Miss Bortin, she was then unmarried, did not know Robert Uname, I believe. I met him, I believe, September a year later. Mr. JENNER. Had you finished that? Mr. THORNLEY. Yes. Mr. JENNER. I take it that Oswald had no close personal friends at least that you observed? Mr. THORNLEY. That is correct. And the name of his closest friends I do not know. I do remember he had a close acquaintance that he seemed to get along with pretty well. Mr. JENNER. In the unit? Mr. THORNLEY. Yes; but I don't recall this man's name. If it was mentioned to me, I probably could, but----
