Mr. Martin.

No. I have never talked to her about that other than the first time that she told me about it. I asked John Thorne if she had mentioned it. I didn't discuss it with her.

Mr. Redlich.

And since Marina Oswald's return from Washington after having testified here, you say you have never discussed the Nixon incident with Marina Oswald in any way?

Mr. Martin.

No. I probably would have had there been sufficient time. Of course, she left my home the following day after she got back from Washington.

Mr. Redlich.

When you say you probably would have, in what way?

Mr. Martin.

Well, since she didn't mention it to the Commission, I feel the Commission should know about it.

Mr. Dulles.

Did you know at this time she had not mentioned it to the Commission?

Mr. Martin.

I asked John Thorne.

Mr. Dulles.

Oh, you asked John Thorne?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Redlich.

What did John Thorne say?

Mr. Martin.

Said she had not mentioned it.

Mr. Redlich.

Did you ask John Thorne why she had not mentioned it?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Did John Thorne offer any information as to why she had not mentioned?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Do you know whether John Thorne had urged her to mention it?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

John Thorne was aware of the Nixon incident prior to Marina Oswald's appearance before this Commission, was he not?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Redlich.

Because you had apparently told him about that shortly after you learned about it in January.

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Redlich.

Did you discuss the Nixon incident with Robert Oswald after Marina Oswald's appearance before this Commission in February?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

You had not?

Mr. Martin.

I don't know if I discussed it with him prior to the Commission's testimony or not. I may or I may not have. I don't know. I don't know whether I mentioned it to him or not.

Mr. Redlich.

Coming back to Commission Exhibit No. 325, the next item under London Daily Mirror, am I correct in assuming that this is, that this item refers to the rifle photo which you discussed earlier in your testimony tonight?

Mr. Martin.

Yes, that is right.

Mr. Redlich.

Do you have anything to add with regard to that rifle photo that you have not already told us?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Did you discuss with Marina Oswald at any time this rifle photo and the circumstances under which it was taken.

Mr. Martin.

I asked her at one time why he wanted a photograph taken of that type, and she said she didn't know. He just wanted pictures taken that way.

Mr. Redlich.

Did she tell you when this photograph was taken in relationship to any other incidents such as the General Walker incident or the Richard Nixon incident?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Did you know where the photograph was taken?

Mr. Martin.

I don't know, I don't even know if it was in Oak Cliff or not. 1 have an idea that it was in Oak Cliff but I don't know whether I know that or whether I have read it.

Mr. Redlich.

When you say Oak Cliff, some of us don't live in Dallas.

Mr. Martin.

It is a suburb of Dallas, a section of Dallas.
