Mrs. Oswald.

said to me something about Walker being at this meeting, and he said, "Paine knows that I shot him."
I don't know whether this was the truth or not. I don't know whether it was true or not but this is what he told me.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Would they go in Mr. Paine's automobile?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes; it was about 2 days after this incident with Stevenson or the next day, or maybe it was the same place, or the next day that a meeting was held where General Walker appeared.

Mr. Mckenzie.

lt was the day before.

Mrs. Oswald.

The day before? The day after. I think there was 1 day's difference between them, either it was the day before or the day after.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you say that there were a number of political meetings----

Mrs. Oswald.

Excuse me; but I think this was on Friday. I think that Lee was at this meeting on a Friday.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you say there were a number of political meetings that your husband went to----

Mrs. Oswald.

Excuse me; this was October 24.

Mr. Rankin.

With Mr. Paine?

Mrs. Oswald.

A week after his birthday--this was Friday. I think it was a week after my husband's birthday about October 24 or something like that or the 25th.

Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Reporter, can you give her the question that I asked?

Mrs. Oswald.

Excuse me, please.
(The question was read by the reporter.)

Mrs. Oswald.

I only know about this one.

Mr. Rankin.

Did the FBI tell you that the reason they were asking about whether there was a mistake as to whether it was Mr. Nixon or Vice President Johnson was because there was a report in Dallas papers about Vice President Johnson going to Dallas around the 23d of April?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes; they did tell me this. They said that at this time there was only one announcement in the newspapers of anyone coming and that was Vice President Johnson.

Mr. Rankin.

But you still are certain it was Mr. Nixon and not Vice President Johnson?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, no. I am getting a little confused with so many questions. I was absolutely convinced it was Nixon and now after all these questions I wonder if I am right in my mind.

Mr. Rankin.

Did your husband----

Mrs. Oswald.

I never heard about Johnson. I never heard about Johnson. I never knew anything about Johnson. I just don't think it was Johnson. I didn't know his name.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you husband during the Nixon incident say Mr. Nixon's name several times or how many times.

Mrs. Oswald.

Only once.

Mr. Rankin.

Now, you said that your husband went to get the pistol in the room. Will you tell us what room that was that he went to get the pistol?

Mrs. Oswald.

It was a small sort of storeroom. Just to the left off the balcony as you come in; it is just on the left from the balcony.

Mr. Rankin.

Was it out, was the pistol out in the room or was it in a closet?

Mrs. Oswald.

This room contained only a table and some shelves, and the pistol was not on the table. It was hidden somewhere on a shelf.

Representative Ford.

Was the rifle in that room, too?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

Where was the rifle in the room?

Mrs. Oswald.

Sometimes it was in the corner, sometimes it was up on a shelf. Lee didn't like me to go into this room. That is why he kept it closed all the time and told me not to go into it. Sometimes he went in there and sat by himself for long periods of time.

Mr. Dulles.

By closed, do you mean locked?

Mrs. Oswald.

He used to close it from the inside; I don't remember what kind of lock it was. Possibly it was just a-- some kind of a tongue----
