(Testimony of Mrs. Jesse Garner)
Mrs. Garner.
Yes, I read it in the papers.
Mr. Liebeler.
You read about it in the newspaper?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you have any conversation with Oswald about that incident?
Mrs. Garner.
No, I don't think I did myself. No, I didn't talk to him about that, because it was just before that happened on Canal Street he had put them on the screen and I had my husband take them down, and after that, that is when he was picked up on Canal Street.
Mr. Liebeler.
What was this incident with the screen? Would you tell us about that?
Mrs. Garner.
Those pamphlets, "Hands off Cuba," or something like that. He had pamphlets on the screen porch in the front, and I told my husband go take those things down, I didn't like them there. He went and told him to take them down, and he said who suggested that, and he said I did and he took them down and never gave us no trouble about it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Let me show you a picture that is marked Exhibit No. 1 to the affidavit of your husband Jesse J. Garner, and I ask you if the leaflet that you see in that picture is a picture of a leaflet like the one Oswald put on the screen?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes, that's it.
Mr. Liebeler.
And do you recognize the person in that picture?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes, that is Lee Oswald. I would recognize him from the back of his head.
Mr. Liebeler.
It appears to be a picture of him handing out pamphlets or sheets of paper on which appears the language, "Hands off Cuba," and some other writing that can't be read.
Mrs. Garner.
They had some other writing on the bottom, but I never read it. I saw this "Hands off Cuba," and I didn't like it on the porch and I made him take them down. That, must have been taken on Canal Street; it looks like it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you recognize the surrounding area, the background of' the picture?
Mrs. Garner.
That's what I said, it looks like it. It is either Canal or Royal somewhere. I don't know. It might not be here; I don't know.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't recognize the background for sure?
Mrs. Garner.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
When this incident----
Mrs. Garner.
Let me get my glasses. Maybe I can see better.
Mr. Liebeler.
When this incident concerning the leaflet on the screen of the porch occurred, was that before or after Oswald had been arrested?
Mrs. Garner.
That was before.
Mr. Liebeler.
Before he was arrested?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
How long before?
Mrs. Garner.
That I don't remember. I don't remember exactly all that, but I know--I can't very well see, but it looks like around here somewhere.
Mr. Liebeler.
Aside from the two different people you have previously mentioned as having visited Oswald, one the Cuban or Spanish fellow and the other two for a total of three people you saw come to visit Oswald, did you ever see anybody else come to visit in his apartment?
Mrs. Garner.
Not that I know of.
Mr. Liebeler.
Late in September sometime, as I understand it, this station-wagon that brought Oswald's wife to the apartment in the first place returned?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes; it did.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did it not?
Mrs. Garner.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you see who was driving the station wagon at that time?
Mrs. Garner.
No; I didn't see who was driving it. All I saw was the station-wagon.
