Mr. Jenner.

She was employed full-time during the daytime, home on weekends?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, what was happening to Lee when you were living in Dallas--in the sense of who took care of him during the daytime, if anyone? What was done for his comfort?

Mr. Oswald.

This I don't remember, sir. I don't remember any housekeeper or any maid that mother had at this time. Something is coming into my mind about a day nursery. I think perhaps----

Mr. Jenner.

A day nursery?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir--that Lee was taken to during the day when Mother was working, and brought home with her at night. I believe that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you boys take him to the day nursery and bring him home?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you play any part in that at all?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, I do not have any recollection of taking Lee to the day nursery or bringing him back.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, would you please indicate how long you remained in the Elementary School, you and John?

Mr. Oswald.

Say for 1 year, sir, 1 school year.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.
Now, during this year, did you become acquainted with Mr. Ekdahl?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I would say towards the latter part of that school year.

Mr. Jenner.

He could come--he did on occasion come to visit your mother's home?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you please indicate whether the contact that you boys had with Mr. Ekdahl about that--that is, he would visit the home occasionally?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he take you boys out?

Mr. Oswald.

I don't recall. I think perhaps on maybe two occasions we did go to the zoo. I don't recall any other occasions.

Mr. Jenner.

We now have you towards the latter part of the year--you were now 9 years old. Am I correct about that?

Mr. Oswald.

1944, I would be 10 years old.

Mr. Jenner.

Your brother John was 12?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And your brother Lee was then 5?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you continue when did you change you said you stayed at Davy Crockett Elementary School a year. And then you entered what school?

Mr. Oswald.

In the fall of that year we entered Chamberlain-Hunt Military Academy, at Port Gibson, Miss. That was the fall of 1945.

Mr. Jenner.

You and John?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, what was the date that you gave me as to the marriage of your mother and Mr. Ekdahl?

Mr. Oswald.

Approximately the early part of 1944. That is what I stated before. And I think now that it would be more correct--after we completed the year at Davy Crockett, 1 believe they were married shortly after the end of the school year.

Mr. Jenner.

That is in June, probably?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; somewhere along that time.

Mr. Jenner.

And that would be June of '44?

Mr. Mckenzie.

June of '45.

Mr. Jenner.

So that following the marriage of your mother and Mr. 'Ekdahl--what was his full name?

Mr. Oswald.

Edwin A. Ekdahl. I believe his middle initial was "A."

Mr. Jenner.

And he was employed, as you stated, by a utility company in Dallas at that time?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.
