United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. GIBSON. Well, when I returned a manuscript to Lee Oswald, it could
have been either the end of November or the middle of December. I am
not sure which.
Mr. JENNER. 1962?
Mrs. GIBSON. 1962; that is right.
Mr. JENNER. Over this period of approximately, let us say, 3-1/2 months
in 1962, how many times did Marina stay in your home? You have given
one occasion.
Mrs. GIBSON. It must have been at least two or three, no more than that.
Mr. JENNER. Over that 3-1/2 month period, the Oswalds were in your home
no more than two or three times that is on visits, one or the other of
them?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; he was. She was only there one other time to visit. He
popped in and out frequently. She was in Fort Worth at the time, and I
didn't see her.
Mr. JENNER. Going back to this following or second day of Marina's
visit in August, I take it your stepmother picked her up and took her
to the dentist on the second day as well?
Mrs. GIBSON. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Did she return to Fort Worth that day?
Mrs. GIBSON. I think she took a bus that afternoon to Fort Worth.
Mr. JENNER. Did she go to the bus station by herself or was she taken?
Mrs. GIBSON. My stepmother took her.
Mr. JENNER. Did you learn where the Oswalds were living or staying at
that time? That is, is this the first occasion that you met them?
Mrs. GIBSON. Well, they must have been staying at that duplex.
Mr. JENNER. On Mercedes Street?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; that is where they must have been staying.
Mr. JENNER. Were you ever in that home or apartment?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; I was.
Mr. JENNER. When was the first occasion you were in that duplex?
Mrs. GIBSON. It was Sunday afternoon somewhere, it must have been about
2 weeks or more after I first met them. Gary and I went over to visit
them in Fort Worth.
Mr. JENNER. Weekday or weekend?
Mrs. GIBSON. Sunday.
Mr. JENNER. On a Sunday. This was then in September of 1962?
Mrs. GIBSON. It must have been early September or late August.
Mr. JENNER. This was a visit on your part?
Mrs. GIBSON. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Were they aware of the fact that you were going to visit
them?
Mrs. GIBSON. No.
Mr. JENNER. When you arrived there, was anyone there?
Mrs. GIBSON. I am not very clear on that point. It is possible that
Lee's mother was just leaving. I am not sure. She was either just
leaving or she had just left before we came. I don't remember. I am not
too clear on if I met her passing as she was going out or if I didn't
meet her.
Mr. JENNER. How did you know where they lived?
Mrs. GIBSON. Lee I believe--Lee gave us their address.
Mr. JENNER. On what occasion did he give you their address?
Mrs. GIBSON. It must have been one of the times he stopped by, dropped
in. I don't really know.
Mr. JENNER. I don't know as I asked you this. Did he visit at your home
at anytime during those first 2 days that Marina stayed with you?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; he came to visit the first evening.
Mr. JENNER. Had you expected him?
