Mrs. Oswald.

No; it was loose in the book--I really don't remember.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Establish what kind of book it was and the size of it.
*Mrs. OSWALD. The size it looked like this size of paper.

Mr. Liebeler.

It was a book something like the reporter is using?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; a legal size paper--it was a legal size notebook--this size.

Mr. Liebeler.

So, the notebook was about the same size as a legal size pad; is that right?
*Mrs. OSWALD [nodding head for an affirmative reply].

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you say anything to Lee when you saw him destroying this book about why he prepared it and why he left it there in the apartment when he went to shoot General Walker?

Mrs. Oswald.

No; I did not. No; I never asked him why he left it in the apartment, why he left his book in the apartment while he went to shoot General Walker. I did not ask him why he left it in the apartment. I asked him what for was he making all these entries in the book and he answered that he wanted to leave a complete record so that all the details would be in it. He told me that these entries consisted of the description of the house of General Walker, the distances, the location, and the distribution of windows in it.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did he want to leave this record for?

Mrs. Oswald.

All these details--all these records, that he was writing it either for his own use so that he would know what to do when the time came to shoot General Walker. I am guessing that perhaps he did it to appear to be a brave man in case he were arrested', but that is my supposition. I was so afraid after this attempt on Walker's life that the police might come to the house. I was afraid that there would be evidence in the house such as this book.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you talk to Lee about that?

Mrs. Oswald.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did you say and what did he say?
*Mrs. OSWALD. What did I say?

Mr. Liebeler.

And what did he say?
*Mrs. OSWALD. And what did he say?

Mr. Liebeler.

Both.

Mrs. Oswald.

I told him that it is best not to have this kind of stuff in the house this book.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did you tell him that?

Mrs. Oswald.

At the time he was destroying it--he showed me this book after this attempt on Walker's life, and I suggested to him that it would be awfully bad to keep a thing like that in the house.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did he first show it to you?

Mrs. Oswald.

Three days after the attempt--3 days after this attempt, he took the rifle from the house, took it somewhere and buried it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Three days after the attempt?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

So that he actually took the rifle out of the house and took it away and hid it somewhere?
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.

Mrs. Oswald.

No; the day Lee shot at Walker, he buried the rifle because when he came home and told me that he shot at General Walker and I asked him where the rifle was and he said he buried it.

Mr. Liebeler.

He shot at General Walker on April 10, which was on Wednesday.
*Mrs. OSWALD. Wednesday?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes; it was on Wednesday.

Mrs. Oswald.

As I remember, it was the weekend--Saturday or Sunday when Lee brought the rifle back home.

Mr. Liebeler.

What weekend following the time he shot at General Walker?
*Mrs. OSWALD. The same weekend of the same week.

Mr. Liebeler.

Had he destroyed the notebook before he brought the rifle back?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

How long after he brought the rifle back did he destroy the book?

Mrs. Oswald.

He destroyed the book approximately an hour after he brought the rifle home.
