Mrs. Rowland.

husband as to what he saw in the building at the time, just from your general experience, do you feel you can rely on everything that your husband says?

Mrs. Rowland.

I don't feel that I can rely on everything anybody says.
Mr. BELIN. Well, this is really an unfair question for me to ask any wife about her husband, and I am not asking it very correctly, but---

Mrs. Rowland.

At times my husband is prone to exaggerate. Does that answer it?

Mr. Belin.

I think it does.
Is there anything else you want to add to that, or not?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Usually his exaggerations are not concerned with anything other than himself. They are usually to boast his ego. They usually say that he is really smarter than he is, or he is a better salesman than he is, something like that.

Mr. Belin.

Anything else you care to add?

Mrs. Rowland.

No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Again, I apologize for any---for in any way trying to embarrass you or anything, but your husband did see a man on the sixth floor and it is important for us to try and find out everything we can to test his accuracy as to what he saw, and so this is why I have been asking these questions. You and I have never met before?

Mrs. Rowland.

Not that I ever remember.

Mr. Belin.

When we did meet, I immediately brought you in here and we started taking your deposition under oath, isn't that true?

Mrs. Rowland.

Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. We didn't chat about anything before we started taking your deposition, did we?

Mrs. Rowland.

No.
Mr. BELIN. Now you mentioned the fact that the newspaper misquoted your husband?

Mrs. Rowland.

Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Is there any other time when you know that he complained about being misquoted insofar as the facts of the assassination are concerned?
Mrs. ROWLAND. When we had our first written statement, the police officer, I believe he was an FBI agent, restated everything we said, and it was typed in the-in that form. But he also asked if it was, if that was the general meaning of what we had said, so he didn't complain. But anyway, it wasn't in his exact words, I mean.

Mr. Belin.

Was there anything inaccurate about the statement?

Mrs. Rowland.

No; I don't think so.

Mr. Belin.

Did your husband ever make any complaints to you about anything inaccurate in any statements that he had given?

Mrs. Rowland.

If he did, I don't remember it.

Mr. Belin.

Is there anything else that you can think of that might in anyway be relevant to this whole area of inquiry?

Mrs. Rowland.

No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you this. Did you or your husband rather. ever see a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald on television?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I saw either the actual shooting on television of Mr. Oswald or either a rerun, and I saw his picture in the newspaper, but I don't know if my husband ever saw it or not. But he did---we heard on the radio the afternoon of the assassination that Lee Harvey Oswald had been accused of the shooting.
Mr. BELIN. Did you or your husband know anyone by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mrs. Rowland.

No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Did you or your husband know Jack Ruby?

Mrs. ROWLAND. Not to my knowledge, I never have known him, and I don't think he has. If he has, he never told me.

Mr. Belin.

Anything else you can think of?

Mrs. Rowland.

No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Well, we certainly appreciate your coming down here. You have been most helpful, Mrs. Rowland.
