(Testimony of Gary E. Taylor)

Mr. Taylor.
associating it with either Midland or Abilene--I don't remember which one. It was west Texas anyway. And he was living there at the time.
Mr. Jenner.
And her leaving your home then--there was no cause or reason for it other than that, as you now understand or from your memory of it, that Mrs. Hall had been involved in an automobile accident, was partially bedridden, was having some difficulty in any respect; she was then by herself because her husband was in west Texas and at that time they were, as you understood, separated?
Mr. Taylor.
Or divorced. I don't remember which.
Mr. Jenner.
And Marina went to Mrs. Hall's home in Fort Worth to help care for Mrs. Hall?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, that would take us to about the last week in November-- somewhere in that area--I mean September--is that correct?
Mr. Taylor.
September; I should think; yes. Toward the end of September, and possibly even early in October--again, due to time, this is all quite vague---I had Lee with me. I don't remember where I got him. But Lee and my wife, Alex, and I went to Fort Worth and picked up Marina and their child and all of the Oswald's belongings that had. through this period, been stored at Mrs. Hall's, and brought them to Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, you went to Mrs. Hall's--is that where you went?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
When you reached the Halls' you picked up the Oswalds' house paraphernalia, clothing and other things----
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Or whatever had been stored at the Halls' you picked up?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, your recollection doesn't serve you at the moment to be more specific as to how this came about?
Mr. Taylor.
It doesn't. Not at all. I can't even remember now where I got Lee that day. I wish I could--for several reasons you are probably aware of. But I don't remember.
And, at any rate, we went to Fort Worth----
Mr. JENNER, Excuse me.
Do you recall being interviewed by two agents of the FBI on the 29th of January 1964.
Mr. Taylor.
I think so.
Mr. Jenner.
Would it refresh your recollection did you tell those agents at that time that you picked up Lee Oswald at the curb of the YMCA in Dallas and drove to Fort Worth to the Hall residence where Marina was living?
Mr. Taylor.
Well, it is refreshing to my memory, but I would like to say this about it.
That in the course of several interviews by the FBI, the Secret Service, and the Dallas Police Department which have occurred, and between these and since the last one, I have naturally tried to remember all that I can concerning the areas in which I was vague in my memory. And at my last interview concerning this one particular item, it occurred to me that at one time once I went to--uh--and looked for a place where Lee was staying in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas and tried to locate him. I remember going and trying to locate him. I don't remember whether I found him or whether I did not. I know that--uh----
Mr. Jenner.
Can you pinpoint this as to time?
Mr. Taylor.
No; that's the trouble. I can't pinpoint it as to time. I just remember some vague directions that----
Mr. Jenner.
What about year--1962?
Mr. Taylor.
1962 definitely.
Mr. Jenner.
And it had to be some time after----
Mr. Taylor.
It had to be some time between September and November 15, because my wife and I separated after that. Anyway, at some point during this period, I do remember going to an area in Oak Cliff and looking for Lee. I don't think I found him--at least, not on the occasion I remember. All I had was some vague directions that----
