(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And did that take place?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, it did.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you please testify or tell us of where that took place, who was present and what the circumstances were?
Mr. Oswald.
That took place at the Inn of the Six Flags in Arlington Tex., during the week of November 25, 1963, in the presence I believe of two more Secret Service agents, and perhaps an Arlington police officer in the rooms that were assigned at the Inn of the Six Flags, and I feel like at least one of the Secret Service agents that was present--
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me, sir, you used the expression "and I feel like". Do you mean you are speculating?
Mr. Oswald.
I believe, is that a better expression, sir?
Mr. Jenner.
Go ahead, and then I will ask you on what basis you base that belief.
Mr. Oswald.
All right, sir. I believe that the Secret Service agents, at least one of them was Mr. Mike Howard.
Mr. Jenner.
That is your best recollection?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
That is what you mean by believe?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Oswald.
I testify it was either two or three Secret Service agents present, and my best recollection, another Secret Service agent would be Mr. Charles I. Kunkel, and if my recollection serves me correctly, there was an Arlington police officer at the time. It would be either Mr. Bob Parsons or Mr. Jeff Gan.
Mr. Jenner.
These were the persons present on this occasion?
Mr. Oswald.
I believe this to be.
Mr. Jenner.
And what occurred and what was said?
Mr. Oswald.
I believe, to my best recollection, mother was in another room and she had received a copy of a newspaper which I cannot identify, that reportedly had a picture of Mr. Rubenstein or Mr. Jack Ruby, and mother exclaimed to me----
Mr. Jenner.
Did she come into the room in which you gentlemen were?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, she did.
Mr. Jenner.
And she had the newspaper in her possession?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, she did.
Mr. Jenner.
And she walked among you and said something?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, she did.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she exhibit anything?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, she did.
Mr. Jenner.
What did she exhibit?
Mr. Oswald.
A picture that I could recognize as a picture now of a man known as Jack Ruby.
Mr. Jenner.
That was a picture in the newspaper?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, proceed.
Mr. Oswald.
And she stated to me
Mr. Jenner.
In the presence of the others?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that on Saturday night, November 23, 1963, that two FBI agents had gone to the Executive Inn in Dallas, to the rooms where mother and Marina and Baby June Lee Oswald were staying, and that at this particular time Marina was taking a bath or a shower, mother had just completed hers, she was in a robe, she did not open the door fully, that one of the FBI agents produced a picture that she stated was Mr. Jack Ruby, and that was the text of it.
Mr. Dulles.
You did not see the picture that was shown by the Secret Service man?
Mr. Oswald.
The FBI man?
Mr. Dulles.
The FBI man.
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, I did not. I was not there.
