Mr. Oswald.

No, sir. I have never known him to handle anything--throw a baseball, football, et cetera, fire a rifle, or do anything, left handed.

Mr. Jenner.

In order to be certain of the details in this respect, when he wrote, did he write with his right or his left hand?

Mr. Oswald.

Right handed.

Mr. Jenner.

Right handed?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And you in fact have seen him write with his right hand?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, I have.

Mr. Jenner.

During your youth?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever--was there ever an occasion when you saw him write or attempt to write with his left hand?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, I have never seen him at any time, on any occasion, ever attempt to write or do anything left handed.

Mr. Jenner.

You really covered my next question, but I would like to ask it anyhow.
There are men in athletics who are either right handed or left handed, but who throw or bat or do something from the other side.
Did he ever throw left handed or in any athletic endeavor employ his left hand predominantly as against his right hand?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; not to my knowledge, he never did.

Mr. Jenner.

From your many years of experience with him, being associated with him, as his brother, was he a predominantly right-handed person?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; he most certainly was.

Representative Ford.

And you personally saw him throw, kick, or do anything athletic over the years, and saw him use his right hand exclusively?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir. I would say without qualification--I might be repeating myself here at no time did I ever know him to do anything left handed, to the extent that it would be predominant. Of course his hands worked together, and so forth. But I have never known him to do anything left handed.

Mr. Jenner.

From your long acquaintance with him, and your intimate knowledge of his physical characteristics in that respect, do you have an opinion as to whether he was instinctively right-handed or instinctively a left-handed person?

Mr. Oswald.

I would say he was instinctively a right-handed person.

Mr. Jenner.

In all the years you were with him, you had opportunity to see him react instantaneously without having time to think about using his right hand or left hand?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER: Did you observe him on many occasions?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes. I have never known him to use his left hand in any manner when an occasion would require that he use either hand--instinctively went to his right hand.

Mr. Jenner.

Was he a coordinated person in the use of his right hand? Some are not coordinated athletically.

Mr. Oswald.

My opinion of this, sir, would be that he was coordinated to the extent that looking at myself and many, I would compare us as two peas in a pod. Quite fast, well coordinated.

Mr. Jenner.

He was dextrous?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And well coordinated?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And you had an opportunity over the years to see him engage in athletics, did you?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

During your youth, as a young man, in any event, did you and your brother John and Lee have an interest in guns, rifles, pistols, cap guns, firearms generally?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; we certainly did. I would say this.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, this includes all three of you?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I understand that.
