United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Can you grasp in your recollection why? What led up to that?
Mrs. GIBSON. I think it was the period before she went to Mrs. Hall's.
It must have been after Lee lost his job, or quit.
Mr. JENNER. In Fort Worth?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; and before he got the new one. It must have been
then. And I think it was while they were trying to find her a place to
live, while he was job hunting.
Mr. JENNER. And before he got his job with Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall?
Mrs. GIBSON. It must have been.
Mr. JENNER. On the 12th of October? You see that is a 4-day period,
Mrs. Gibson.
Mrs. GIBSON. Between when he lost his job and got his job?
Mr. JENNER. That is right.
Mrs. GIBSON. That is probably where she stayed then. I am not sure.
Mr. JENNER. The last day he worked at Leslie Welding was the
8th of October 1962. He became employed and went to work for
Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall on the 12th of October 1962.
Mrs. GIBSON. That probably was when she stayed with us, then. I just
don't have any recollection of when it was.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have any recollection that she came to stay with
you, the reason why? Was she having difficulty with Oswald? Was that
the reason, or was it because he was out of work?
Mrs. GIBSON. I think it was because he was out of work. I don't think
they had any money. I think my father lent them money, didn't he? I
don't know. Somebody must have given them money. It was Bouhe, that is
who it was who lent them money.
Mr. JENNER. It was only 4 days, Mrs. Gibson.
Mrs. GIBSON. No; but he had to have money to get started. He had to
have money to stay at the YMCA. He had to have money to get started,
and I know who gave him money. George Bouhe did.
Mr. JENNER. Yes; George Bouhe did, there is no question about that.
Mrs. GIBSON. Because I recall that. He gave him money, and he also had
the debt to pay to the American Embassy.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have any recollection as to where Oswald stayed
prior to the time that he went to the YMCA on the 15th of October, that
is between the 8th of October and the 15th of October? That is a week.
Mrs. GIBSON. No; all I know is he never did stay at our place overnight
ever.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall when you were looking for this address, was
it an address on North Beckley?
Mrs. GIBSON. It is possible that it was.
Mr. JENNER. Does that stimulate your recollection at all?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; it doesn't. I just know that Beckley is near the river.
Mr. JENNER. And you were looking in the area.
Mrs. GIBSON. Near the river; yes.
Mr. JENNER. Now, between the 19th of October and the 3d of November,
which was the day you picked up Oswald and Marina and the baby and took
them to the Elsbeth Street apartment, do you know where Oswald was
staying?
