Mrs. Oswald.

So I asked the chaplain to talk to Robert about Lee being buried in the Arlington Cemetery.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he report to you about it?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, sir. But he did call Robert in. We were getting ready. The police were getting ready to escort us out of his office, and he said, "If you don't mind, I would like to talk to Robert Oswald just a minute."
So he brought Robert into the room he had taken me, and stayed in there a little while with Robert. So I feel sure that the chaplain relayed my message to him, because we were getting ready to leave, and he asked the police if he could talk to Robert.

Mr. Rankin.

The chaplain never told you anything more about it?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, sir, I have not seen the chaplain since.

Mr. Rankin.

Did Robert say anything about it?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, sir, Robert says nothing. I have tried to contact Robert for important matters, and Robert will not talk.
Lee was left handed. Lee wrote left handed and ate right handed. And I wanted to know if Lee shot left handed. Because on Lee's leaves, as I stated, they live out in the country, and Robert goes squirrel hunting, and all kinds of hunting. And on leaves from the Marines, Lee has gone out to this farmhouse, to Robert's family house, and he and his brother have gone squirrel hunting. And so Robert would know if Lee shot left handed, and he would not give me the information, gentlemen.

Mr. Rankin.

Is Robert left handed?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, Robert is left handed. I am left handed.

Mr. Rankin.

Is John Pic left handed?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, John is not.

Mr. Rankin.

But you are?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, sir. Now, I write left handed, but I do everything else with my right hand.
But Lee was more left handed than I am.
I write left handed, but I do everything else with my right hand. But Lee was left handed.

Mr. Rankin.

Was Lee Oswald's father left handed?

Mrs. Oswald.

That I do not remember, Mr. Rankin. No--I am the left handed one. I would say no.
Now, there is another story. And we have stories galore, believe me with documents and everything.
A gun will be involved in this story, that Lee had bought. But I don't want to confuse the committee. That is another part that we will have to go into, that I will have to lead up to. The only way I can do this and not forget things is to do the way I am doing it. And if you have any questions, if you feel the story I have told so far--I would like to know, myself, if I have forgotten anything.
It is awfully hard for me to remember everything. If you want to question me, I am more than happy, if I know the facts, to give them to you.

Mr. Rankin.

Well, you go ahead and tell us in your own way.

Mrs. Oswald.

May I have some fresh water, please?

Mr. Rankin.

You have never told us about the Walker matter. Did you know something about that?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, I didn't know about that.

The Chairman.

You are going to let her finish this other, are you not?

Mr. Rankin.

Yes.

Mrs. Oswald.

I didn't know about that until it came out in the paper. But I have a story on that.

Mr. Rankin.

You want to finish this incident about the gun you are talking about?

Mrs. Oswald.

About Robert knowing about the gun--I have already said that. About Lee being left handed, and he and Robert going squirrel hunting.

Mr. Rankin.

You said there was another gun matter.

Mrs. Oswald.

That is a long, long story.

The Chairman.

I think she has gotten to the point----
