(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)
The Chairman.
We will take a short recess.
(Brief recess.)
The Chairman.
We will be in order, please.
Mr. Rankin.
Mrs. Oswald, would you step over with the interpreter to this desk and point out the different pieces of clothing as we ask you about it, please?
Do you know the shirt that Lee Oswald wore the morning that he left?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't remember. What else interests you? What do you want?
Mr. Rankin.
Can you tell us whether any of this clothing set out on this desk belonged to Lee Oswald?
Mrs. Oswald.
These are Lee's shoes.
Mr. Rankin.
When you say the shoes, you pointed to Exhibit 149?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
This is a pair of shoes of which Exhibit 149 is a photograph.
Mrs. Oswald.
These are his bath slippers.
Mr. Rankin.
Exhibit 148 are his bath slippers?
Mrs. Oswald.
Japanese bath slippers. These shoes I have never seen.
Mr. Rankin.
That is Exhibit 147, you say those are shoes you have never seen?
How about Exhibit 146?
Mrs. Oswald.
These are his, yes. These are all Lee's shirts.
Mr. Rankin.
Exhibits 150, 151----
Mrs. Oswald.
These are his pajamas.
Mr. Rankin.
Exhibits 150, and 151 are Lee Oswald's shirts, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And Exhibit 152 is a pair of his pajamas?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And Exhibit 153--you recognize that?
Mr. Oswald.
That is his shirt.
Mr. Rankin.
And Exhibit 154? Is that one of his shirts?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Exhibit 155?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, also. Why is it all torn?
Mr. Rankin.
We are advised it was when he was hurt, they cut into some of these.
Do you recall whether or not he was wearing Exhibit-the shirt that I point to now, the morning of the 22d of November-- Exhibit 150?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, it was a dark shirt.
Mr. Rankin.
You think that was the one?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
I call your attention to Exhibit 156. Is that a pair of his pants?
Mrs. Oswald.
These are his work pants.
Mr. Rankin.
And 157?
Mrs. Oswald.
Also work pants. These are all work pants.
Mr. Rankin.
158?
Mrs. Oswald.
Why were both of those cut? I don't understand.
Mr. Rankin.
I have not been informed, but I will try to find out for you.
Mrs. Oswald.
It is not necessary.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you recall which of the pants he was wearing on the morning of November 22, 1963?
Mrs. Oswald.
I think the gray ones, but I am not sure, because it was dark in the room, and I paid no attention to what pants he put on.
Mr. Rankin.
By the gray ones, you are referring to what I point to as Exhibit 157, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Can you tell us about Exhibit 159, a sweater?
Mrs. Oswald.
That was my gift to Lee, a sweater.
Mr. Rankin.
160?
Mrs. Oswald.
That is Lee's shirt.
Mr. Rankin.
161?
Mrs. Oswald.
This is a pullover sweater. This is his pullover sweater.
Mr. Rankin.
162?
