(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey , Edith Whitworth, Oswald)

Mr. Liebeler.
Did you see anybody else in the car at all, besides this woman and the two children?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I didn't pay any attention at that time that they were in the car, you know, when they first drove up but I didn't know that they come in the car and they had to get out of a car to come in there; they wouldn't have walked up.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Why do you say they wouldn't have walked up there, Mrs. Whitworth?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, they would have had to have lived pretty close and around there and I had never seen them come in there before.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you know where they were living?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, not until after all this happened--the assassination and everything--and they lived pretty close around there. I had never seen Mrs. Paine walk by there before.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you know where they were living?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, I asked them when all this happened and everything. If they lived out where they did, it would have been too far from my store to have walked up there.
Mr. Liebeler.
You were under the impression at that time that they were living together; isn't that right?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, yes; he told me they were living in an apartment, and I asked him.
*Mrs. OSWALD. Living in an apartment?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; I said, "You are living in an apartment," and wanting to move out, you know, and he said, "Yes." So, I just assumed when people come in wanting to buy furniture and they are going to need some, that they are either in an apartment fixing to move out, or need some they are going to need some and they are fixing to move out, but he wasn't quite ready then--he said.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you specifically ask him or did he specifically tell you that they were living in an apartment together?
Mrs. Whitworth.
No; I asked him--yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
He told you that they were living in an apartment together?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have learned since that time that they weren't living-together; isn't that right?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; I believe so.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Do you recall in talking to this lady if she had a tooth missing in front? One or two teeth missing?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I don't recall that--all I noticed--she didn't even utter a word--I didn't notice it.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Do you remember if she had a tooth or two missing?
*Mrs. OSWALD. You know me; you know me?
Mr. Mckenzie.
Mrs. Oswald has indicated to Mrs. Hunter that Mrs. Hunter had said she remembered talking to Marina. Now, what about you, Mrs. Hunter; do you remember whether she had any teeth missing?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, I don't remember anything about her teeth because she would have to almost move her lips, you know, if you didn't pay close attention, now, that was just a very few seconds with her at this station- very few. The only thing that I caught was right here [indicating].
Mr. Mckenzie.
Now, don't you think you would notice it if somebody had a tooth out in front of their mouth?
Mrs. Hunter.
Not necessarily, because I don't pay no attention to nobody--only their eyes and their feet.
Mr. Mckenzie.
I don't have any more questions.
Mr. Liebeler.
Marina, did you at any time go with Lee and the children when Lee had something with him wrapped in a brown sack that he took into a store?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mrs. Whitworth.
It would be about this long [indicating].
Mr. Liebeler.
Indicating about how long?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I would say about 15 or 18 inches.
