Mr. Rankin.

And you told Mr. Gopadze you already knew that?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't remember what I told him.

Mr. Gopadze.

Mrs. Oswald, on her own accord, asked me, or told me that she didn't have to tell us anything she didn't want to. I said, "That is right."

Mrs. Oswald.

I disliked him immediately, because he introduced himself as being from the FBI. I was at that time very angry at the FBI because I thought perhaps Lee is not guilty, and they have merely tricked him.

Mr. Gopadze.

Mr. Rankin, may I, for the benefit of the Commission--I would like to mention that I didn't represent myself as being an FBI agent. I just said that I was a government agent, with the FBI. And I introduced both agents to Mrs. Oswald.

Mr. Rankin.

And, Mrs. Oswald, you thought he was connected with the FBI in some way, did you?

Mrs. Oswald.

He had come with them, and I decided he must have been.

Mr. Rankin.

And your ill feeling towards the FBI was----

Mrs. Oswald.

He did not tell me that he was with the FBI, but he was with them.

Mr. Rankin.

Your ill feeling towards the FBI was due to the fact that you thought they were trying to obtain evidence to show your husband was guilty in regard to the assassination?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

But you have said since the assassination that you didn't want to believe it, but you had to believe that your husband had killed President Kennedy, is that right?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes. There were some facts, but not too many, and I didn't know too much about it at that time yet. After all, there are in life some accidental concurrences of circumstances. And it is very difficult to believe in that.

Mr. Rankin.

But from what you have learned since that time, you arrived at this conclusion, did you, that your husband had killed the President?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes. Unfortunately, yes.

Mr. Rankin.

And you related those facts that you learned to what you already knew about your life with him and what you knew he had done and appeared to be doing in order to come to that conclusion?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

When you saw your husband on November 23d, at the police station, did you ask him if he had killed President Kennedy?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ask him at that time if he had killed Officer Tippit?

Mrs. Oswald.

No. I said. "I don't believe that you did that, and everything will turn out well."
After all, I couldn't accuse him--after all, he was my husband.

Mr. Rankin.

And what did he say to that?

Mrs. Oswald.

He said that I should not worry, that everything would turn out well. But I could see by his eyes that he was guilty. Rather, he tried t appear to be brave. However, by his eyes I could tell that he was afraid. This was just a feeling. It is hard to describe.

Mr. Rankin.

Would you help us a little bit by telling us what you saw i his eyes that caused you to think that?

Mrs. Oswald.

He said goodbye to me with his eyes. I knew that. He said that everything would turn out well, but he did not believe it himself.

Mr. Rankin.

How could you tell that?

Mrs. Oswald.

I saw it in his eyes.

Mr. Rankin.

Did your husband ever at any time say to you that he responsible or had anything to do with the killing of President Kennedy?

Mrs. Oswald.

After Kennedy--I only saw him once, and he didn't tell me anything, and I didn't see him again.

Mr. Rankin.

And did he at any time tell you that he had anything to with the shooting of Officer Tippit?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
