Mr. Rankin.

Do you know approximately what time your husband left that morning?

Mrs. Oswald.

I have written it there, but I have now forgotten whether it was seven or eight. But a quarter to eight--I don't know. I have now forgotten.

Mr. Rankin.

What time was he due for work?

Mrs. Oswald.

He was due at work at 8 or 8:30. At 7:15 he was already gone.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether he rode with Wesley Frazier that morning?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't know. I didn't hear him leave.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever see a paper bag or cover for the rifle at the Paine's residence or garage?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever see a bag at any time?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

Where did your husband have his lunch? Did he take a sandwich to the depository, or did he go home to his rooming house for lunch? Do you know?

Mrs. Oswald.

He usually took sandwiches to lunch. But I don't know whether he would go home or not.

Mr. Rankin.

Had your husband ever left his wedding ring at home that way before?

Mrs. Oswald.

At one time while he was still at Fort Worth, it was inconvenient for him to work with his wedding ring on and he would remove it, but at work--he would not leave it at home. His wedding ring was rather wide, and it bothered him.
I don't know now. He would take it off at work.

Mr. Rankin.

Then this is the first time during your married life that he had ever left it at home where you live?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether your husband carried any package with him when he left the house on November 22nd?

Mrs. Oswald.

I think that he had a package with his lunch. But a small package.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether he had any package like a rifle in some container?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

What did you do the rest of the morning, after you got up on November 22d?

Mrs. Oswald.

When I got up the television set was on, and I knew that Kennedy was coming. Ruth had gone to the doctor with her children and she left the television set on for me. And I watched television all morning, even without having dressed. She was running around in her pajamas and watching television with me.

Mr. Rankin.

Before the assassination, did you ever see your husband examining the route of the parade as it was published in the paper?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever see him looking at a map of Dallas like he did in connection with the Walker shooting?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

How did you learn of the shooting of President Kennedy?

Mrs. Oswald.

I was watching television, and Ruth by that time was already with me, and she said someone had shot at the President.

Mr. Rankin.

What did you say?

Mrs. Oswald.

It was hard for me to say anything. We both turned pale. I went to my room and cried.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you think immediately that your husband might have been involved?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
