(Testimony of Mrs. Donald Gibson)
Mr. Jenner.
So that you knew at that time where he was working or going to work?
Mrs. Gibson.
We knew the location of the place where he was working.
Now, I am not sure if we knew that he was working already or if we thought he was still unemployed, not unemployed but already employed but not working yet.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall Mrs. Hall having been involved in an automobile accident?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
That was in October, was it not, 1962?
Mrs. Gibson.
I don't know what the month was, but I imagine it was. It must have been in the latter part of October.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall Marina residing with Mrs. Hall?
Mrs. Gibson.
She was with Mrs. Hall before the accident and after the accident and while Mrs. Hall was in the hospital she lived at the house.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall also that Mrs. Hall, after she returned from the hospital, went to New York City?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
And that while she was in New York City, that Marina stayed at her home also?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; she did.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know whether during that period Lee Oswald stayed at the Halls'?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; he did. I believe, while Mrs. Hall was in the hospital; he stayed with Marina while she was alone for 2, 3, or 4 days, something like that. He was there off and on. He spent quite a few nights there, I know this.
Mr. Jenner.
Were there any occasions when you and your husband or either of you were at the Halls' when Oswald was there?
Mrs. Gibson.
I believe we took him to Fort Worth once to visit, and we stayed for supper, and Mrs. Hall was there and she cooked us supper. This is before her accident, and Alex was there and Marina and Gary and myself.
Mr. Jenner.
This is the occasion to which you earlier made a reference, is it, or had you done so?
Mrs. Gibson.
It was the occasion where Alex and Lee got into an argument; yes. And this was prior to Mrs. Hall's accident. We stayed until fairly late in the evening. I can't remember if we brought Lee back with us or if he spent the night. It would seem logical, I think we brought Lee back with us.
Mr. Jenner.
You brought him back to where?
Mrs. Gibson.
To Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
To where in Dallas?
Mrs. Gibson.
I don't know. I can't remember.
Mr. Jenner.
This was before he stayed at the YMCA?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; this was after.
Mr. Jenner.
This was after Mrs. Hall returned from the hospital?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; this was before her accident. This is while Marina was there.
Mr. Jenner.
To help orient you, she was in the hospital from the 18th of October 1962 to the 26th of October 1962.
Mrs. Gibson.
This is before her accident. I think only a couple of days before her accident or a day before, because I remember how shocked I was when I heard that she had been in an accident. It was only a day or two before, so where would he have been living, at the Y, wouldn't he, at that time?
Mr. Jenner.
He would be at the Y.
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
He was at the Y on the 15th.
Mrs. Gibson.
I imagine that is where we dropped him then.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know of your own personal knowledge the fact that Lee stayed with Marina at the Halls' from time to time?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; Mrs. Hall told me-- he told me and Marina--
Mr. Jenner.
Oswald told you?
Mr. Gibson.
Yes; and Marina told me in a roundabout fashion.
Mr. Jenner.
How?
