(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Now, appearing immediately above that snapshot is a snapshot or a photograph, a picture of two boys. Do you recognize either or both of those children?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I do. I recognize the young boy standing, and I recognize him to be Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
And who is the boy appearing lower in that photograph?
Mr. Oswald.
I do not recognize him, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
This is in the upper right hand corner of Commission Exhibit 282. Appearing immediately to the left--but before I proceed to that, are you able to identify that sufficiently to indicate to us the age of your brother at the time that picture was taken?
Mr. Oswald.
I would say he was approximately 11 or 12 years old at that time.
Mr. Jenner.
And at this time he was residing where?
Mr. Oswald.
If he was 11 years old at the time the photograph was taken, he was residing in Fort Worth, Tex. If he was 12 years old, he would be residing in New York City.
Mr. Jenner.
To the left appears another photograph of a young man in a striped shirt, a striped T-shirt. Do you observe that?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
It is apparently a blowup from a group picture. Who is that?
Mr. Oswald.
I recognize him to be my brother, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
And do you recognize the clothing, have you seen him in that clothing before?
Mr. Oswald.
Not that I recall. The tennis shoes look familiar.
Mr. Jenner.
And are you able to make out the age of your brother at the time this picture was taken?
Mr. Oswald.
I would say approximately 10 or 11 years old.
Mr. Jenner.
So if it were at age 10, he would have been residing where?
Mr. Oswald.
In Fort Worth, Tex.
Mr. Jenner.
And you have already given the age.
To the left of that picture is another photograph or apparently a snapshot. I notice that there are part of some persons behind the central figure. Do you recognize the figure in that photograph?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
Who is it?
Mr. Oswald.
I recognize it to be Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
At what age?
Mr. Oswald.
Seven or eight years old.
Mr. Jenner.
And assuming age 7, where was he residing at that time?
Mr. Oswald.
This would be the year when he was 7 would be 1946 or 1947. He would be residing in Fort Worth, Tex.
Mr. Jenner.
And if he were 8, he still would be residing in Fort Worth, Tex.
Mr. Oswald.
That's correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
To the left of that picture is a picture of--I don't know whether that is one snapshot or two.
Mr. Oswald.
It is one, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Showing three persons, three children. Are you able to identify all three?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you please identify and give the ages?
Mr. Oswald.
Left to right, I identify myself at the age of 10.
Mr. Jenner.
With the sailor hat on?
Mr. Oswald.
With the sailor hat on, right. In the center I identify it to be Lee Harvey Oswald at the age of 5. On the far right I identify John Edward Pic at the age of 12.
Mr. Jenner.
And you boys were residing where at that time?
Mr. Oswald.
At Dallas, Tex, on Victor Street. That was taken right outside, at the side of the house.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall the circumstances under which the picture was taken?
