Mrs. Oswald.

In a box.

Mr. Rankin.

I offer in evidence Exhibit 141.

The Chairman.

It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 141, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Thorne.

Exhibit 142 is some kraft paper, brown wrapping paper.

Mrs. Oswald.

It wasn't brown before.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever see that before?

Mrs. Oswald.

The FBI questioned me about this paper, but I don't know--I have never seen it.

Mr. Rankin.

At one time it was kraft color, before they treated it to get fingerprints.
Did you ever see anything like that?

Mrs. Oswald.

Everybody sees such paper. But I didn't see that with Lee.

Mr. Rankin.

You have never seen anything like that around the house, then?

Mrs. Oswald.

No. We have wrapping paper around the house.

Mr. Rankin.

That Exhibit 142 is more than just wrapping paper. It was apparently made up into a sack or bag.

Mrs. Oswald.

I didn't see it.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever see him make up a bag or sack or anything like that, to hold a rifle?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 142, for identification.)

Mr. Thorne.

Exhibit 143 is a pistol.

Mrs. Oswald.

Lee Oswald's.

Mr. Rankin.

You recognize that as a pistol of your husband?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

I offer in evidence Exhibit 143.

The Chairman.

It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 143, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Thorne.

Exhibit 144 is a leather pistol holster.

Mrs. Oswald.

That is a holster for Lee's pistol.

Mr. Rankin.

Is Exhibit 144 the same holster that is in those pictures that you took?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

And the pistol is the same pistol as in those pictures?

Mrs. Oswald.

As much as I can tell.

Mr. Rankin.

At least they appear to be, as far as you can tell?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

And the rifle is the same, or appears to be, is it not?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

The Chairman.

It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 144, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Thorne.

Exhibit 145 is a small cardboard box containing two bullets, .38 caliber.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recognize those as appearing to be the size of the bullets that your husband had for the pistol?

Mrs. Oswald.

It is hard for me to tell, because I don't understand about this. I never looked at them, because I am afraid.

Mr. Rankin.

But you have seen bullets like that, have you, in your husband's apartment or rooming house, or in the Neely apartment or at Mrs. Paine's?

Mrs. Oswald.

At Mrs. Paine's I never saw any shells.
On Neely Street, perhaps it is similar--New Orleans. It looks like it. If they fit Lee's pistol, then they must be the right ones.

Mr. Rankin.

I offer in evidence Exhibit 145.

The Chairman.

Admitted.
