(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Had you boys ever owned one?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
By this time, I assume you had shot one.
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Owned by one of your pals or somebody around the neighborhood?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And Lee had what you would describe as a normal interest in firearms?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
That every boy has?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
But not beyond that?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Were there any pistol or rifle ranges around that you boys attended?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; there was not.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, your brother John at this point entered the Coast Guard?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
You were attending--you were then 15. You were now attending high school, I assume.
Mr. Oswald.
Junior high school.
Mr. Jenner.
In Fort Worth?
Mr. Oswald.
Fort Worth, W. C. Stripling Junior High School.
Mr. Dulles.
What was the name of that?
Mr. Oswald.
W. C. Stripling Junior High School.
Mr. Jenner.
Did your brother John attend high school?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
What high school did he attend?
Mr. Oswald.
We went for awhile---to get this thing in sequence, before he went into the Coast Guard he attended Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth, I believe, for one-half year, and then he transferred to Paschal High School in Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you attended either of those high schools?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; Arlington Heights High School.
Mr. Jenner.
I think I might go back a little bit. I will return to the firearms.
But to maintain the sequence, when you and your brother John came to Benbrook, Tex., after you completed your schooling at the military school, I assume you attended school in Benbrook, Tex.
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; we did not, because we were just there during the summer months. And we moved prior to the school year of 19----
Mr. Jenner.
'48?
Mr. Oswald.
'48---we moved to the address on Ewing Street.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. And each of you then enrolled in Arlington?
Mr. Oswald.
I was in the ninth grade, which was junior high school in Texas. I enrolled in W. C. Stripling.
Mr. Jenner.
First?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir. And John Edward enrolled in Arlington Heights High School.
Mr. Jenner.
W.C. Stripling High School was a junior high school?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And Arlington Heights High School was senior high school?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; the last 3 years.
Mr. Jenner.
And, at this time, your brother Lee was enrolled in-----
Mr. Oswald.
West Ridglea Elementary School.
Mr. Jenner.
So at this point each of you was attending a different school?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And Lee was 9 years old.
You continued at Arlington Heights Junior High School for how long?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir--W. C. Stripling Junior High School. For 1 year, the ninth grade.
If I may, sir, perhaps correct something--I don't know for sure which way it
