Mr. Oswald.

he had only been hunting a half dozen times, and so forth, and that he had only used a shotgun, and a couple of times he did shoot a duck.

Mr. Jenner.

It was all shotgun shooting, no rifle shooting?

Mr. Oswald.

No rifle shooting, no sir. That is all they were allowed to have, the shotgun.

Mr. Jenner.

This conversation took place, as I understand it, on his return from Russia when he was living with you for that month, that would be June-July of 1962?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And that is the extent of the conversation?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is.

Mr. Jenner.

As you now recall it--there have been some reports, and they are only reports as far as we of the staff are concerned, of speculation about a television set, whether your brother purchased or owned a television set and whether he purchased it outright or on time with a guarantee from you.
What information or knowledge do you have in that connection?

Mr. Oswald.

I am not aware that he purchased a television set, sir. I did at his request, when he and Marina and the baby were living in Fort Worth.

Mr. Jenner.

Where in Fort Worth?

Mr. Oswald.

Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, in a small duplex which was--

Mr. Jenner.

Can you fix even more definitely the time of this event?

Mr. Oswald.

This was approximately the latter part of September, 1962. And at his request--

Mr. Jenner.

He came to you, excuse me.

Mr. Oswald.

He called me, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

He called you by telephone?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; he called me at my office from his place of employment in Fort Worth at that time.

Mr. Jenner.

Give us the substance of what he said.

Mr. Oswald.

We talked briefly about how each family was doing, and so forth, and he said that he would like to establish credit and he had tried to charge something at Montgomery Ward's at Fort Worth, the West 7th Street store, and they had stated that he needed to have somebody cosign or vouch for him, and this was his request to me, and I said gladly I would do so, and late that afternoon after work, this was approximately 5:30 by the time I arrived at Montgomery Ward, I did sign for Lee's charge account. However, I was not aware of what he was charging.

Mr. Jenner.

There was no discussion, I take it, at that time of what--the use to which he intended to put his credit?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I believe perhaps he did mention something about a baby chair and a baby bed.

Mr. Jenner.

Was there ever any discussion between you about his purchase or acquisition of a television set?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; there was not.

Mr. Jenner.

Were you ever in his home or apartment?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I was.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you see a television set there?

Mr. Oswald.

Pardon me, you are referring to the apartment on Mercedes Street, is that correct?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, I was in his home quite a few times and there was not a television set that I remember.

Mr. Jenner.

On any occasion that you were there?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

On any occasion when you were in any place of residence of your brother after his return to the United States, did you see in those premises a television set?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Where was that?

Mr. Oswald.

At my house and at my mother's house.

Mr. Jenner.

I should have been more specific and identified a residence as one of his own rather than living with you or living with your mother.
