Mr. Rankin.

What was the date now?

Mrs. Oswald.

This is Saturday, November 23d. This is approximately 6:30 in the evening, that the FBI agent came. And the telephone call was later.
Now, I have no way of knowing whether Lee had permission to use the telephone. Remember, Lee is in jail.

Mr. Rankin.

About what time do you think the telephone call was?

Mrs. Oswald.

I would say it was about 7:30, 8 o'clock in the night.

Mr. Rankin.

That was still on Saturday night?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, sir, still on Saturday night at the Executive Inn. And that was after the picture was shown to me she received this telephone call, and became very silent.
And the next day my son was shot.
Now, it is now that I have done investigation of this case that I believe that the picture was meant for Marina to see, meant for Marina to see.

Mr. Rankin.

Why do you think that?

Mrs. Oswald.

Because now it has been proven that Jack Ruby killed my son. And I think there is a connection there. Because Marina did not tell me about her conversation. And you men hold the answer whether Lee used the telephone from the jailhouse. I don't know that.

Mr. Rankin.

You base that on just your own conclusion that you arrive at now, do you?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes--because of the FBI agent, Mr. Hart Odum, insistence on taking my daughter-in-law--and he being the same agent that came and showed the picture. And Mr. Ruby being the man that shot Lee--yes, these are definite conclusions.

Mr. Rankin.

That is what you base it on?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, sir, that is what I base it on.

Mr. Dulles.

Do I understand correctly that Marina did not see the picture at any time?

Mrs. Oswald.

That is correct, sir. But they tried awfully hard for Marina to see the picture.

Mr. Rankin.

And when they could not show it to her----

Mrs. Oswald.

They showed it to me yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Have you ever seen that picture since?

Mrs. Oswald.

On a Wednesday--Lee was shot on a Sunday--neither Marina nor I knew how he was shot. They kept it from us. You have to visualize this.
We were at the Six Flags with approximately 18 to 20 FBI agents, Secret Service men running in and out, a woman with a Russian girl and two sick babies, and the girl and I do not know what is going on.

Mr. Rankin.

When you had gotten over to the Six Flags, you must have skipped something there you were in the Executive Inn before.

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes. I was going to make a point about letting you know why I didn't know.

Mr. Rankin.

All right.

Mrs. Oswald.

All right--let's go back to the Executive Inn.
So that night I was very upset and very worried. I realized that we were there alone. And we were not going to go in town, into Dallas. I wasn't going to take this Russian girl and the two babies. And the babies were all chapped. We had no diapers. We were not prepared for this. And it was hectic, gentlemen.
So all night long I am wondering how can I get in touch with Robert, what can I do.
And I was a little suspicious of Mrs. Paine. I was suspicious of Mrs. Paine from the time I entered her home.

Mr. Rankin.

Had you found out how much money the Life man gave you?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, not even yet.

Mr. Rankin.

All right.

Mrs. Oswald.

So I signed for the food. I called the operator and I asked the operator what name the room was registered under. She said, "Well, this is an unusual request. Don't you know what room--what name?"
