(Testimony of Sylvia Odio)
Mr. Liebeler.
About how tall was he?
Mrs. Odio.
He wasn't too tall. He was maybe 4 inches taller than I am.
Mr. Liebeler.
How tall are you?
Mrs. Odio.
I am 5 feet 6 inches.
Mr. Liebeler.
So you think he was about 5 feet 10?
Mrs. Odio.
Probably.
Mr. Liebeler.
About how was he built? Was he a heavy man or a light man?
Mrs. Odio.
He was kind of a skinny man, because the shirt looked big on him, like it was borrowed.
Mr. Liebeler.
Like it was borrowed from somebody else?
Mrs. Odio.
Yes; that is the impression he gave me, because it kind of hung loose.
Mr. Liebeler.
Didn't fit well?
Mrs. Odio.
It didn't fit.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever had anything to do with the DRE movement here in Dallas?
Mrs. Odio.
Students Revolutionary Council, not at all.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know any representatives of the DRE?
Mrs. Odio.
I just knew one.
Mr. Liebeler.
Who was that?
Mrs. Odio.
Sarah Castilo. Now, I have heard about the directorate in New Orleans, because I have family there and they told me about all the incidents about him in New Orleans, about Oswald giving propaganda in the street and how he was down in front of a judge and caused a fight with Carlos Bringuier, and that, of course, this man had been working pro-Castro in this Fair Play for Cuba.
Mr. Liebeler.
Oswald, you mean?
Mrs. Odio.
Oswald.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Carlos?
Mrs. Odio.
Yes; I have met him. I don't think he would remember me, but I know who Carlos Bringuier is. They call him Carlitos.
Mr. Liebeler.
When did you meet him?
Mrs. Odio.
I think it was a long time ago in Cuba, or I was introduced to him.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have never met him here in the United States?
Mrs. Odio.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Who in New Orleans told you about this incident between Bringuier and Oswald?
Mrs. Odio.
My family discussed it in New Orleans how he had been handed the propaganda. The other member of the directorate came along, and they had a problem with him, because they were taken in front of a judge. This was true.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you read about that in the newspapers?
Mrs. Odio.
No; I haven't. This I know from my family, the information we heard from New Orleans.
Mr. Liebeler.
How much of your family are living in New Orleans?
Mrs. Odio.
I have an uncle and a cousin; a married cousin.
Mr. Liebeler.
Which one of them told you about this?
Mrs. Odio.
I think it was my uncle.
Mr. Liebeler.
Were you there at that time?
Mrs. Odio.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
In New Orleans?
Mrs. Odio.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
What is your uncle's name?
Mrs. Odio.
Agustin Guitar.
Mr. Liebeler.
When was this that you discussed this with him?
Mrs. Odio.
February.
Mr. Liebeler.
In February of 1964?
Mrs. Odio.
Yes. I remember that, because I had just come out of an operation.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know a man by the name of Joaquin Martinez de Pinillos?
Mrs. Odio.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Emanuel Salvat?
