Mr. Jenner.

had not seen your mother, that for several months prior to that you had not talked with her.
I take it from that that you were not aware of her well being, whether she was in good health, poor health, or otherwise?

Mr. Oswald.

During the approximate date of three or four months prior to Lee's release from the service, I was aware that she did have an accident at her place of employment there in Fort Worth, at which time, if memory serves me correct, something fell on her, on her face, and injured her nose.
I was aware from conversations with her at that time that she was consulting or going to various doctors. And she told me at that time

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me. Having reached that point--is that how you first discovered that your mother had suffered an accident? You say she told you.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And I take it, then, that you had not talked with her for several months prior to September 11 nor seen her before sometime, or later than sometime in April of 1959, that this telephone conversation must have taken place several months prior to September 11. Am I correct about that?

Mr. Oswald.

It was not a telephone conversation, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

You saw her?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

In the month of April '59?

Mr. Oswald.

Approximately that date.

Mr. Jenner.

And did you visit her, or did she visit you?

Mr. Oswald.

I saw her at her place of employment.

Mr. Jenner.

And how did that come about?

Mr. Oswald.

I do not remember, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Would it refresh your recollection if I recited some possibilities--that she called you and asked you to come to see her, that you desired to inquire of her, see if she was all right, or was it that you just happened to be in the downtown Fort Worth area, and you stopped by to see her, knowing where she was employed?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe the latter would possibly be more accurate.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that your best recollection at the moment?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir. She was not employed at that time at the downtown area of Fort Worth, but rather at a suburb store, Cox's Department Store.

Mr. Jenner.

This is a shoe store?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, this is just a large department store, from wearing apparel to toys, a full line store.

Mr. Jenner.

How did you become aware she was employed there?

Mr. Oswald.

I do not remember, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

How long--did you know then how long she had been employed at Cox's Department Store?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

How did you become aware of the fact she was so employed?

Mr. Oswald.

I do not remember, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

You have no recollection?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, I do not.

Mr. Dulles.

About how long was this after the accident, or was it after the accident?

Mr. Oswald.

My recollection of that, sir-this was shortly after the accident. She was still employed there, even though I understand from our conversation that day that she had been off for a while I don't know how long a period-and that she was still employed there. Because this is where I did see her, at her counter in this department store.

Mr. Jenner.

On this occasion, when you stopped by to see her, she related to you an accident she had suffered--that was the first news you had of it?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

You had not known she was ill or what her state of well being was prior to that time?
