(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee)
Mr. Jenner.
have a relationship to the exhibits, the signatures of which I have just finished having identified.
Would you mark those, please, Mr. Liebeler?
Mr. Dulles.
Do you wish these admitted as exhibits?
Mr. Jenner.
If you please, sir. I would like to identify the exhibits and indicate their content first. I would call on you, Mr. McKenzie, to identify the series of exhibits. They are numbered, Mr. Chairman, Commission Exhibits 276, 277, 278, and 279. If you will identify them, I may have some questions of the witness.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Mr. Chairman, Exhibit No. 276 is a contract dated December 6, 1963, addressed to Mr. James H. Martin, Dallas, Tex., and signed by Mrs. Marina N. Oswald, consisting of four pages.
Mr. Dulles.
I wish that admitted at this time with that description.
Mr. Jenner.
If I may put one question to the witness: Mr. Oswald, would you look at the last page of that exhibit? Does it purport to bear a signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you familiar with that signature?
Mr. Oswald.
There are three signatures.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you familiar with all of them?
Mr. Oswald.
May I ask my attorney something here?
Mr. Jenner.
Surely.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Mr. Jenner, if I may interrupt you, and pardon me for doing so---on page 3 there is likewise a signature. And I think perhaps he should start at that page.
Mr. Jenner.
That is a fine suggestion.
Will you now refer to page 3. Does it bear a signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it does.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you familiar with that signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. Jenner.
Whose signature is it?
Mr. Oswald.
Mrs. Marina N. Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
Turn to page 4. There are several signatures on that page, is that correct?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct. There are three.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you familiar with any of them?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you take them in order, taking the uppermost one first. Indicate whether you are familiar with that signature, and whose signature it is.
Mr. Oswald.
It is my own signature, Robert Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
The next under that?
Mr. Oswald.
Mr. James H. Martin.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you familiar with that signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And it is his signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Who is Mr. James H. Martin?
Mr. Oswald.

Mr. Jenner.
He has been identified in previous sessions before the Commission.
And there is a third signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; there is.
Mr. Jenner.
And are you familiar with that signature?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. Jenner.
Whose is it, please?
Mr. Oswald.
Mr. John M. Thorne, Attorney.
Mr. Jenner.
And he is the Mr. Thorne that we have identified a few moments ago?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
He was at that time the attorney for Mrs. Marina Oswald?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
