Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Do you know whether during that period Lee Oswald stayed at
the Halls'?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; he did. I believe, while Mrs. Hall was in the
hospital; he stayed with Marina while she was alone for 2, 3, or 4
days, something like that. He was there off and on. He spent quite a
few nights there, I know this.
Mr. JENNER. Were there any occasions when you and your husband or
either of you were at the Halls' when Oswald was there?
Mrs. GIBSON. I believe we took him to Fort Worth once to visit, and we
stayed for supper, and Mrs. Hall was there and she cooked us supper.
This is before her accident, and Alex was there and Marina and Gary and
myself.
Mr. JENNER. This is the occasion to which you earlier made a reference,
is it, or had you done so?
Mrs. GIBSON. It was the occasion where Alex and Lee got into an
argument; yes. And this was prior to Mrs. Hall's accident. We stayed
until fairly late in the evening. I can't remember if we brought Lee
back with us or if he spent the night. It would seem logical, I think
we brought Lee back with us.
Mr. JENNER. You brought him back to where?
Mrs. GIBSON. To Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. To where in Dallas?
Mrs. GIBSON. I don't know. I can't remember.
Mr. JENNER. This was before he stayed at the YMCA?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; this was after.
Mr. JENNER. This was after Mrs. Hall returned from the hospital?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; this was before her accident. This is while Marina was
there.
Mr. JENNER. To help orient you, she was in the hospital from the 18th
of October 1962 to the 26th of October 1962.
Mrs. GIBSON. This is before her accident. I think only a couple of days
before her accident or a day before, because I remember how shocked I
was when I heard that she had been in an accident. It was only a day or
two before, so where would he have been living, at the Y, wouldn't he,
at that time?
Mr. JENNER. He would be at the Y.
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. He was at the Y on the 15th.
Mrs. GIBSON. I imagine that is where we dropped him then.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know of your own personal knowledge the fact that
Lee stayed with Marina at the Halls' from time to time?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; Mrs. Hall told me--he told me and Marina----
Mr. JENNER. Oswald told you?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; and Marina told me in a roundabout fashion.
Mr. JENNER. How?
Mrs. GIBSON. Well, she'd tell, you know, Mrs. Hall to tell me something
and Mrs. Hall would tell me, that is how, or through Lee, or through
gestures or a dictionary she would be able to tell me a few words.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know whether or where, I will put it that way, where
Lee stayed between the 19th of October 1962, when he left the Y, and
November 3, 1962, when they moved into the Elsbeth Street apartment?
Mrs. GIBSON. I know that he stayed part of the time, I'd say a good
portion of the time, at Mrs. Hall's. Now, whether he had another
residence I don't know. I know he spent a few evenings with my father.
If he spent a night there I don't know.
