Mrs. Oswald.

I don't remember. It was some kind of book from the public library. He had a two-volume history of the United States. This is not from the library, this was his own book.

Mr. Dulles.

The incident occurred, you said, just a few days after he had told you he shot at General Walker?

Mrs. Oswald.

It was about 10 or 12 days after the incident with General Walker, perhaps about 3 days before we left for the departure for New Orleans. This didn't happen right after the incident with General Walker. It happened rather closer to a time when we departed for New Orleans.

Mr. Dulles.

The General Walker incident made a very strong impression on you, didn't it?

Mrs. Oswald.

Of course. I never thought that Lee had a gun in order to use it to shoot at somebody with.

Mr. Dulles.

Didn't this statement that he made about Vice President Nixon make a strong impression on you also?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't know. I was pregnant at the time. I had a lot of other things to worry about. I was getting pretty well tired of all of these escapades of his.

Mr. Dulles.

Was there any reason why you didn't tell the Commission about this when you testified before?

Mrs. Oswald.

I had no--there is no particular reason. I just forgot. Very likely this incident didn't make a very great impression on me at that time.

Mr. Dulles.

Now, before the death of President Kennedy, of course, you knew that your husband had purchased a rifle?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

You knew that he had purchased a pistol?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

And a knife?

Mrs. Oswald.

No; what kind of knife?

Mr. Dulles.

Did he have a knife?

Mrs. Oswald.

He had a little pocket knife; I think.

Mr. Dulles.

You knew that he had told you that he had tried to kill General Walker?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

And, of course, as you said you heard him make a threat against Nixon.

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

Did you have some fear that he would use these weapons against someone else?

Mrs. Oswald.

Of course; I was afraid.

Mr. Dulles.

What?

Mrs. Oswald.

Of course; I was afraid.

Mr. Dulles.

You thought that he might use his weapons against someone?

Mrs. Oswald.

After the incident with Nixon I stopped believing him.

Mr. Dulles.

You what?

Mrs. Oswald.

I stopped believing him.

Mr. Dulles.

Why?

Mrs. Oswald.

Because he wasn't obeying me any longer, because he promised and then he broke his promise.

Mr. Dulles.

Would you repeat that?

Mrs. Oswald.

Because he wasn't obeying me any more. He promised and, he made a promise and then he broke it.

Mr. Dulles.

That is my question. Having been told that--isn't it correct he told you that he shot at General Walker? He made a promise to you that he wouldn't do anything like that again, you heard him threaten Vice President Nixon, didn't it occur to you then that there was danger that he would use these weapons against someone else in the future?

Mrs. Oswald.

After the incident with Walker, I believed him when he told me that he wouldn't use the weapons any longer.

Mr. Dulles.

I remember you testified before and I asked you if you had heard him threaten any official or other person and your answer was no.

Mrs. Oswald.

Because I forgot at that time about the incident with Nixon.
