(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Jenner.
or a contract between Marina on the one hand and Robert Martin and Thorne on the other.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Yes, Mr. Jenner. And all of those agreements are in the record, and have been produced.
And I might also say that Marina Oswald had placed both Messrs. Thorne and Martin on notice that she has discharged them as her attorney and business agent, respectively, and, further, that I have likewise notified them since Mrs. Oswald has turned the matter over to me.
And, further, for the purpose of the record, I will state that Mrs. Oswald has paid me the sum of $25, which is not my usual fee, to represent her as a retainer.
Mr. Jenner.
And you do represent her?
Mr. Mckenzie.
And I do represent her, and do not desire one dime out of any contributions that she may have received by anyone for the benefit of herself or her children, nor would I accept same.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have a written contract with her?
Mr. Mckenzie.
I have no written contract with her.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know whether Marina knows or can use or understand any language other than Russian, and other than English, to the extent that she is able to use and understand it?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not. I do know that she knows a little French.
Mr. Jenner.
And that is the extent of your information on the subject?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
How do you know that she knows a little French?
Mr. Oswald.
During her recent stay at my home in Denton, Tex.
Mr. Jenner.
How recent was that? Just a few days ago?
Mr. Oswald.
Within the past 10 days to two weeks--I believe this was brought about, to the best of my recollection, due to a television commercial with a little French involved. I gave my total French vocabulary of parlez vouz Francais, or something, and she replied to that. And we asked her did she speak French, and she said four or five other words, and she said that was about all of it.
Mr. Jenner.
Did your brother ever speak to you or raise the subject of his jealousy or possible jealousy concerning Marina and any other man or men?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, he did not.
Mr. Jenner.
And did any discussion of that subject or possible subject ever take place in your presence by anybody?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; it did not.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know any of the following members of the Russian emigre group? I will omit those you have already identified. George Bouhe?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you ever heard of that name?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I have not.
Mr. Jenner.
Teofil Meller?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you ever heard the name before?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I have not.
Mr. Jenner.
Elena Hall?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you ever heard the name before?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, I have not.
Mr. Jenner.
Mrs. Frank H. Ray?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, I have.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you heard that name or know of it during the lifetime of your brother Lee?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner.
You became acquainted with that name, with that person, subsequent to his death?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you acquainted with her?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, I am.
Mr. Jenner.
What were the circumstances, and when?
