(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)
Mrs. Oswald.
That is Lee's--an old shirt.
Mr. Rankin.
Sort of a jacket?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
163?
Mrs. Oswald.
Also.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you recall which one of the sweaters or jackets he was wearing on the morning of November 22, 1963?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't remember.
Mr. Rankin.
When was the last time that you saw this jacket, Exhibit 163?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't remember.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you remember seeing it on the morning of November 22, 1963?
Mrs. Oswald.
The thing is that I saw Lee in the room, and I didn't see him getting dressed in the room. That is why it is difficult for me to say. But I told him to put on something warm on the way to work.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you recall whether the jacket, Exhibit 163, is something that he put on in your presence at any time that day?
Mrs. Oswald.
Not in my presence.
Mr. Rankin.
And you didn't observe it on him at any time, then?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
Is it possible that Exhibit 163 was worn by him that morning without your knowing about it?
Mrs. Oswald.
Quite possible.
Mr. Rankin.
Now, at the time you saw him at the Dallas jail, can you tell us what clothing of any that are on this desk he was wearing at that time?
Mrs. Oswald.
None of these. He had on a white T-shirt. What trousers he was wearing, I could not tell, because I only saw him through a window.
Mr. Rankin.
Would you examine the collar on the shirt?
Mrs. Oswald.
This is Lee's shirt.
Mr. Rankin.
It has a mark "Brent long tail sanforized."
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, I know this shirt. I gave it to him. The sweater is also his.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you recall any of these clothes that your husband was wearing when he came home Thursday night, November 21, 1963?
Mrs. Oswald.
On Thursday I think he wore this shirt.
Mr. Rankin.
Is that Exhibit 150?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you remember anything else he was wearing at that time?
Mrs. Oswald.
It seems he had that jacket, also.
Mr. Rankin.
Exhibit 162?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And the pants, Exhibit 157?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes. But I am not sure. This is as much as I can remember.
Mr. Rankin.
Thank you.
Mr. Thorne.
I identify this photograph, which is marked Exhibit 164 as being a true photograph of the shirt displayed to Mrs. Oswald, and recognized by her as being a shirt that she gave to Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Rankin.
I offer all of the Exhibits, Nos. 146 to 164, inclusive.
The Chairman.
They may be admitted.
(The articles referred to were marked Commission Exhibit Nos. 146 to 164, inclusive, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin.
Mrs. Oswald, do you remember any information or documents under your control or in your possession which would relate to or shed any light on the matters we have been examining which you have not presented here?
Mrs. Oswald.
I have nothing else. Everything has been taken from me.
Mr. Rankin.
Some of the Commissioners have a question or two, or a few questions. If you will permit them, they would like to address them to you. Representative Boggs. Mrs. Oswald, this question has already been asked you, but I would like to ask it again.
I gather that you have reached the conclusion in your own mind that your husband killed President Kennedy.
Mrs. Oswald.
Regretfully, yes.
