(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)

Mr. Rankin.
Who was this friend? Do you recall?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't remember his last name. If you would suggest, perhaps I could say.
Mr. Rankin.
Was that Mr. Glover?
Mrs. Oswald.
What is his first name?
Mr. Rankin.
Everett
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes. I don't know his last name.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you talk to Mrs. Paine in Russian at that time?
Mrs. Oswald.
A little, yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Did Mrs. Paine ever visit you at Elsbeth Street?
Mrs. Oswald.
At Neely, on Neely Street.
Mr. Rankin.
But not at Elsbeth?
Mrs. Oswald.
We moved soon after that acquaintance.
Mr. Rankin.
How did your husband treat June? Was he a good father?
Mrs. Oswald.
Oh, yes, very good.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you notice any difference in his attitude towards your child after you saw this change in his personality?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
Will you describe to the Commission how your husband treated the baby, and some of his acts, what he did?
Mrs. Oswald.
He would walk with June, play with her, feed her, change diapers, take photographs everything that fathers generally do.
Mr. Rankin.
He showed considerable affection for her at all times, did he?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes. If I would punish June, he would punish me.
Mr. Rankin.
When did you first meet Michael Paine?
Mrs. Oswald.
After I became acquainted with Ruth and she visited me for the first time, she asked me to come for a visit to her. This was on a Friday. Her husband, Michael, came for us and drove us to their home in Irving.
Mr. Rankin.
They were living together at that time, were they?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
Did Michael Paine know Russian?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
At the time of the Walker incident, do you recall whether your husband had his job or had lost it?
Mrs. Oswald.
You had said that this had happened on a Wednesday, and it seems to me that it was on a Friday that he was told that he was discharged. He didn't tell me about it until Monday.
Mr. Rankin.
But it was on the preceding Friday that he was discharged, was it not?
Mrs. Oswald.
No, not the preceding Friday--the Friday after the incident. That is what he told me.
Mr. Rankin.
If he had lost his job before the Walker incident, you didn't know it then?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
On the day of the Walker shooting did he appear to go to work as usual?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And when did he return that day, do you recall?
Mrs. Oswald.
Late at night, about 11.
Mr. Rankin.
He did not come home for dinner then, before?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, he had come home, and then left again.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you notice any difference in his actions when he returned home and had dinner?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
Did he appear to be excited, nervous?
Mrs. Oswald.
No, he was quite calm. But it seemed to me that inside he was tense.
Mr. Rankin.
How could you tell that?
Mrs. Oswald.
I could tell by his face. I knew Lee. Sometimes when some thing would happen. he wouldn't tell me about it, but I could see it in his eyes, that something had happened.
Mr. Rankin.
And you saw it this day, did you?
