Mr. Jenner.

thought was that it was possible, though, you were disbelieving at the moment?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

Then you state in your memorandum on page 2 that you immediately called your wife Vada.

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

And you went directly to the phone and called her?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

What did you say to her?

Mr. Oswald.

I asked her first had she been listening to the television or the radio set, and was she aware that Lee had been arrested. She stated she had not heard this, even though she had been listening to television.
In her statement to me, to the best of my recollection at that time, was that they had not, over the television set, referred to Lee by name.

Mr. Jenner.

And, as I recall in your memorandum, you immediately told her you were going to come right home.

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

And you did depart for home?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

On page 3 of your memorandum, you make a reference to brother's arrest. Would you find that place on page 3? The report to you of his arrest.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I have it.

Mr. Jenner.

And as I recall, that was a report to you that he arrested?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

By whom, and by what means?

Mr. Oswald.

Over the telephone, by Mr. Dubose, the credit manager in our Fort Worth general office. And, "Bob, brace yourself, your brother has been arrested."

Mr. Jenner.

What did you say?

Mr. Oswald.

"Yes; I know. I just heard".

Mr. Jenner.

Did Mr. Dubose elaborate? Did he say only your brother has been arrested?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir. To the best of my recollection that was his exact words.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he add, if I may refresh your recollection, assuming it so, that he had been arrested in connection with the assassination of President Kennedy, and the murder of Officer Tippit?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I believe I did not give him an opportunity, if he wanted to state that, to complete his statement.

Mr. Jenner.

You have now given us the whole of that particular conversation?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.
If I might add--other than that as noted on page 3, that he did advise me that my mother was trying to reach me, and gave me a number to call.

Mr. Jenner.

I wish to go to that next. You did call her?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

And where was she? To where was your call directed?

Mr. Oswald.

To Fort Worth, Tex., to which address I am not acquainted, but the telephone number is her residence in Fort Worth, Tex. I believe that to be 1220 Thomas Place.

Mr. Jenner.

And when you called that number, your mother was home?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. What did you say to her?

Mr. Oswald.

My comment to her that this was Robert, and she immediately started advising me of what she had heard, and that she had been contact with a Star Telegram reporter.

Mr. Jenner.

That is the Star Telegram reporter for the Dallas Star Telegram?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, for the Fort Worth Star Telegram, sir.
