(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)
Mr. Rankin.
At the house where you had lived?**
**Mrs. OSWALD. He stayed with his aunt. I remember something that he stayed a couple days with his aunt in New Orleans.
*Did I leave on the 23d?
Mr. Rankin.
Yes.
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not recall distinctly at this moment, but I believe he said he spent the first night at the house where we lived, and perhaps one or two nights at Aunt Lillian's.
Mr. Rankin.
Is there something else?
*Mrs. OSWALD. It is so difficult for me to remember now.
Mr. Rankin.
Did your husband have any Cuban friends at New Orleans?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know about this.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you remember the time a man by the name of Bringuier came to the house there? Bringuier [spelling] B-r-i-n-g-u-i-e-r.
*Mrs. OSWALD. Someone came, but I don't know from which organization or who he was.
Mr. Rankin.
Was there more than one person who came asking about that or only one?*
Mrs. Oswald.
Just one.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you recall that your husband hired someone to help hand out leaflets about fair play for Cuba on the streets of New Orleans?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. He mentioned that he hired a boy to help him, by giving him some money to buy ice cream or something--I don't know.
Mr. Rankin.
I'll hand you what is marked as Frank Pizzo Exhibit No. 453--A, which is a photograph, and ask you if you recognize your husband there, and also, any of the other men there in the picture?*
*Mrs. OSWALD (examining instrument mentioned). I recognize only my husband.
Mr. Rankin.
Is your husband the man with the marks that sort of look like a "T" in light green?*
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
I ask you if you recognize anyone besides your husband in Frank Pizzo Exhibit No. 453-B?*
Mrs. Oswald.
No. *No. [Examining instrument mentioned.] No.
Mr. Rankin.
But you do recognize your husband there?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes--yes.
Mr. Rankin.
He has a green mark over his photograph, does he not?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know whether or not your husband consulted any attorneys in New Orleans while he was there?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know about this.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know of a Clay Bertrand, [spelling] B-e-r-t-r-a-n-d?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Rankin.
Did your husband ever say anything about consulting an attorney about his discharge from the Marines or about his American citizenship?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. He did not.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know whether or not your husband was in Dallas in September between the 23d, the date that you left with Mrs. Paine, and the 26th of September--at any time?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know.
Mr. Rankin.
Did he ever say anything about anything like that?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you ever know a Sylvia Odio, [spelling] O-d-i-o?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Rankin.
You never heard of her?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Rankin.
Sylvia Odio is a woman in Dallas who said that your husband, along with two Cubans, came to see her under the name "Leon Oswald," on the evening of the 25th or the 26th of September 1963. Do you know anything about
that?*
**Mrs. OSWALD. No; I do not know about this.
