United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. And do you recall him looking for work during this period?
That would be the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of October.
Mrs. GIBSON. I really don't know. If he had a job, it doesn't seem that
he would be looking for a job.
Mr. JENNER. He was at the Texas Employment Commission on the 9th, 10th,
and 11th.
Mrs. GIBSON. Then probably he was. And if he gave our address and our
phone number; I am sure he was.
Mr. JENNER. But you don't recall where he was staying during that
period?
Mrs. GIBSON. No.
Mr. JENNER. The 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th?
Mrs. GIBSON. No.
Mr. JENNER. Could he have been staying at Hall's?
Mrs. GIBSON. Gee, it is possible, but I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. But you do recall that he did stay at the Hall's a good
deal or portions of the time that Marina was there?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; he went there weekends, as I recall, when he was
working. He spent the weekends there.
Mr. JENNER. When he was working at Jaggars?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. So when he began to work at Jaggars, which was the 12th
of October, up to the 3d of November when you and your husband, Mr.
Taylor, took the Oswalds to the Elsbeth Street apartment, he visited at
the Hall's on weekends?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. So there was some place he was staying then himself during
that period?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; there must have been.
Mr. JENNER. Did Mrs. Hall live in Fort Worth?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And Fort Worth is approximately 30 miles?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. From Dallas, isn't it?
Mrs. GIBSON. He didn't stay in Fort Worth.
Mr. JENNER. He stayed in Dallas?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But you can't recall still where he stayed in Dallas?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; I have no idea.
Mr. JENNER. But it is now your definite recollection that he did stay
in Dallas?
Mrs. GIBSON. Well, I know that----
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me--after he became employed at Jaggars?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; I will tell you why. Because he told us that he goes
by bus Friday night or something to Fort Worth and he'd come back
Sunday evening. So it would be my normal assumption, I would say, that
he was staying in Dallas at the time.
Mr. JENNER. Had you and your father had some difficulty, some spats
between the two of you along about this time?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; we had been spatting all our life.
Mr. JENNER. I mean were you on speaking terms?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes; I'd say so.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall at least one occasion when you picked up
Oswald in front of the YMCA?
Mrs. GIBSON. No; I don't.
Mr. JENNER. That your husband Gary would go over and pick him up?
Mrs. GIBSON. I guess so.
Mr. JENNER. Bring him to your apartment?
Mrs. GIBSON. I guess so, or he'd walk. I don't know. I don't believe
Gary picked him up there. I believe he walked or took the bus.
Mr. JENNER. What do you recall with respect to Lee's habits of
temperance or intemperance, drinking?
Mrs. GIBSON. I never saw him take a drink.
Mr. JENNER. Did he smoke?
