(Testimony of Mrs. Jesse Garner)

Mrs. Garner.
Right; and after the 9th he started on another month but never paid me.
Mr. Liebeler.
He left owing rent for the period from September 9 until the time he left?
Mrs. Garner.
The 24th or 23d, whatever date it was.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Mr. Louis N. Rico?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes; I think that is my tenant in the back in the detached apartment, away in the back downstairs, Louis Rico.
Mr. Liebeler.
They don't live there any more?
Mrs. Garner.
No; they moved.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know whether they had anything to do with Oswald?
Mrs. Garner.
No; he never did talk to him. Oswald wouldn't bother with nobody.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever see Oswald drive a car?
Mrs. Garner.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know whether he could drive?
Mrs. Garner.
No; I couldn't answer that. I don't know.
Mr. Liebeler.
You had no way of knowing where Oswald went when he left your apartment house, do you?
Mrs. Garner.
No; I sure don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
As far as you know, Oswald intended to stay on in the apartment, at least that is what he had told your husband?
Mrs. Garner.
That's what I figured all the time, and every time I passed he was sitting on the porch, or either sitting by the lamp inside of the living room when it was dark, reading.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you think of anything else you remember about Oswald? Is there anything else you know about him that the Commission ought to know that I have not asked you about?
Mrs. Garner.
Well, like I say, every time I talk, I tried to think, and there is really nothing. I just usually always stay by myself and never go to the door unless I have to. The only thing is--I did hear a couple of times like they were arguing and she would be crying. I guess they were arguing, I couldn't Understand the Russian language and she would be crying, and that went on a couple of hours at a time, and I figured that was family trouble. I couldn't even understand what they were saying.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did they seem to have more family trouble than most people, or do you think they got along fairly well?
Mrs. Garner.
It is just about twice I heard it in the months they were there.
Mr. Liebeler.
You didn't have the impression----
Mrs. Garner.
I didn't think they was arguing, because when they talk that language it sounds like they are arguing all the time to me, but those two times she happened to be crying, and I could hear her raising her voice higher and him too. He was just abrupt.
Mr. Liebeler.
You didn't have the impression they were having any particular difficulty With their marriage, did you? Mrs. GARNER. No.
Mr. Liebeler.
They didn't seem to have----
Mrs. Garner.
It didn't seem that way to me. You never did see them together in the daytime. I saw them once when they left for that weekend, and that is the only time they had left there together.
Mr. Liebeler.
She stayed at home pretty much?
Mrs. Garner.
She stayed home all the time, and I see her coming from the grocery store once in awhile.
Mr. Liebeler.
I don't believe I have any more questions at this time, Mrs. Garner, if you can't think of anything else you would like to add. I think we can terminate the deposition. I do want to thank you for the patience that you and your husband have shown to me and for the cooperation you have given us in coming down here and testifying. On behalf of the Commission I want to thank you both very much.
Mrs. Garner.
I am only too glad to do it. Anything else we can do, it would be all right.

Jesse J. Garner
