(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey , Edith Whitworth, Oswald)
Mrs. Whitworth.
I would say from 30 to 40 minutes.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you don't remember Marina seeing any furniture in the store at that time?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; this was a cafe on that side on the left side and baby clothes on the right side, and a radio and that's all.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember what you went to that store for?
*Mrs. OSWALD. To buy Junie pants--rubber pants.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you buy some clothes for June; do you remember ever seeing these ladies before, Marina?
*Mrs. OSWALD. Just this one [indicating Mrs. Hunter]. Perhaps, now, I saw her, because there is a woman of that particular type, a lady like this out in Richardson--I may have seen a lady like this in Richardson.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you do remember seeing a woman that looked something like Mrs. Hunter, here, Mrs. Hunter being the woman in the blue dress?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I don't think that I saw her, but I saw a woman or women like her--not one, but many of that type.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, Mrs. Hunter, as you sit here and you look at these children and you look at Marina, are you sure in your own mind that these were the people who were in the store that day?
Mrs. Hunter.
I have seen Marina several times before the baby came--several times. She said she saw me do you remember talking to a lady about getting help for you before your baby came?
Mrs. Oswald.
For housework?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; she was talking about the welfare of clothes for the baby before the baby came, but I don't know who she was.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, wait just a minute, Mrs. Hunter, you say you talked to Marina about this?
Mrs. Hunter.
She was with another woman and this other woman didn't come around, and I couldn't understand too much of what she said, and she couldn't understand too much of what I said, and I says, "If you need help with this baby, we can get you help at Parkland Hospital." Do you remember that?
Mr. Liebeler.
Just a minute, would you describe the other woman?
Mrs. Hunter.
Now, the other woman don't mean a thing to me. All I know, she was with this other woman, but I live on Second Street and it was down below me, four or five different streets and this woman, I believe, was going to see someone about fixing a tire or changing a tire. Now, I couldn't tell you what the other woman had on because it was just curiosity to me why--that her couldn't speak like we could and was in this condition and I kept asking her where her husband was and I never did make her understand me and I finally asked her if they had separated [indicating hand signals]--and I did that way--with her, and she made me understand he was staying over in town, but then, I didn't know who she was or nothing about her.
Mr. Liebeler.
Where did all this happen?
Mrs. Hunter.
Let me see, it was in a filling station--how come me at the station--I don't know whether that's the day that we looked at a car that this man had for sale at the station or not.
Mr. Liebeler.
Where do you think this happened, Mrs. Hunter?
Mrs. Hunter.
It was on the corner of Sixth and Hastings Streets---I know where the station was--I couldn't even tell you the name of the station, because we were looking at a car there.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, what were the circumstances under which you were in this station, Mrs. Hunter?
Mrs. Hunter.
Now, I have never been there but about twice, but at this particular time, last July until right after Christmas, we were looking just for a used pickup or a used car for my husband to haul his tools in. We have a used car at this time there was a car for sale there.
*Mrs. OSWALD. After Christmas?
Mrs. Hunter.
What?
*Mrs. OSWALD. After Christmas?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; I said we were looking for used cars, so that's bound to have been my purpose there because we do not trade with that man. Do you know a driveway and a filling station and a washateria on Sixth Street?
