course, if you are writing a whole book, it won't be so important, just this one phase of it.
Mrs. Oswald, during the course of your testimony, you testified that Lee often called you twice a day while he was working away from home.
Why do you think he called you if he was not in love with you?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. When he was away from me, he told me that he missed me.
Senator RUSSELL You don't think that's an indication that he loved you?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. This shows--this would show that he loved me. He was a dual personality.
Senator RUSSELL. Split personality.

Mrs. Oswald.

Split personality--that's it.
Senator RUSSELL. Mrs. Oswald, I noticed that one of the witnesses, I've forgotten which one it was, that ran the boarding house where Lee lived, testified that he called someone every night and talked to them at some length in a foreign language. That couldn't have been anyone except you, could it, that he was calling?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. I believe that I was the person he talked to.
Senator RUSSELL. He did call you quite frequently, did he not when you were in Irving and he was in Dallas, for example?

Mrs. Oswald.

Every day.
Senator RUSSELL. But he didn't call you to abuse you over the phone, did he?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. Of course not.
Senator RUSSELL It was the ordinary small talk you would have between a man and his wife--he would ask you about how the children were--one of them--was?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. He always talked about our daughter June.
Senator RUSSELL Did he ever say anything about, "I love you" or anything like that over the phone?**

Mrs. Oswald.

(no response).

Mr. Gopadze.

Did he? **

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.
Senator RUSSELL He did?
*Mrs. OSWALD. He did.
Senator RUSSELL. Now, you've testified before, and I'm just going on recollection, but I'm sure I'm right about this, that he told you in New Orleans that he was going to Mexico City and that he was going by bus and that a round trip would be much cheaper than a one-way fare. I noticed something in the paper the other day where you had found a one-way ticket or stub on the bus from Mexico City to Dallas, I believe it was. How did you happen to come into possession of that stub?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. You say round trip was cheaper than one-way?
Senator RUSSELL. Yes; that's what you testified he told you in New Orleans when he said he was going. But here, according to the press--I don't know--a one-way stub turns up where he came back here to Dallas. Where did you get that stub?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. My statement apparently was misinterpreted in the record, because Lee stated that the cost of the ticket, say, from Dallas to Mexico is cheaper than it is from Mexico City to Dallas or from one point to Mexico and from Mexico to that same point.
Senator RUSSELL. We'll, that very easily could have become confused in translation, but it certainly is in there.*

Mr. Rankin.

I think they have confused your question, Senator, I think they have confused your question. I think they think that you were saying that a round trip was cheaper than one way? Or--two ways?
Senator RUSSELL I'm sorry, Mr. Gregory. You misunderstood it. I didn't mean that a round trip was cheaper than one way. I meant that a round trip was cheaper than to go there and back on individual tickets-than two ways.

Mr. Gregory.

She understood you correctly. I misunderstood you, Senator. I'm sorry.
*Mrs. OSWALD. The fact remains, according to Lee, that it is cheaper from
