(Testimony of Nelson Delgado)
Mr. Liebeler.
When did the FBI agents tell you that Murray had denied that you had taught him Spanish? Was that when the Spanish-speaking agent was there?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
The Spanish-speaking agent only talked to you once; is that right?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you find that you have to mix English words with your Spanish to express yourself completely?
Mr. Delgado.
No; what I meant to tell the fellow there--I think is what that sentence you have in front of you is--that, say-- how can I say it?--you speak to me in English, and I could say it in Spanish just about as fast as you could tell me in English, you know, like he is working there, you know, all coming to his fingertips, like the other fellow was telling me. I could translate that fast, you know, and deciphering is the only proper way of saying it, you know. And I made another statement at home, you know, my family was speaking, and the majority of the words being Spanish, and English just come out, you know.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you speak Spanish around the home?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Is your wife Puerto Rican?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does she speak Spanish?
Mr. DELGADO: Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was your wife born in Puerto Rico?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
When did she come to the United States?
Mr. Delgado.
About 1944, 1945.
Mr. Liebeler.
How old was she then?
Mr. Delgado.
She was about 13.
Mr. Liebeler.
You mentioned that Oswald used to go into Los Angeles with you from time to time. Can you tell me approximately how many times Oswald went to Los Angeles?
Mr. Delgado.
Once he went with me.
Mr. Liebeler.
Just once?
Mr. Delgado.
Just once. That was, you know, he just stayed a night, as far as I can remember.
Mr. Liebeler.
So that Oswald only went into Los Angeles with you on one occasion?
Mr. Delgado.
That I know; yes. Right after he corresponded with these people.
Mr. Liebeler.
With the Cuban Consulate?
Mr. Delgado.
I assumed he was going there to see somebody. I never asked him. It wasn't my business, you know.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he later tell you that he had been to the Cuban Consulate?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes; but I thought it was just his, you know, bragging of some sort.
Mr. Liebeler.
You didn't really believe that he had?
Mr. Delgado.
Well, no; I didn't have no interest in it, whether or not.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you learn that Oswald had gone into Los Angeles on weekends at other times?
Mr. Delgado.
No; not that I knew of.
Mr. Liebeler.
The only thing that you know----
Mr. Delgado.
That I am sure of was that one particular incident, one particular time, it struck me as being odd that he had gone out, you know.
Mr. Liebeler.
So that Oswald only went into Los Angeles with you on one occasion that you can remember; is that right?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes; that I can recall.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did the FBI agent ask you about this?
Mr. Delgado.
Yes; he asked me that, and I believe I gave him the same answer I have given you now, because the other time they had two men, that other fellow was asking me questions too, you know, this is back and forth, trying to answer you, and he is asking me something else, you know. I was sitting in the old
