Mr. Bouhe.

Could have, although I was not present, but they had long sessions together, just girls.

Mr. Liebeler.

You spoke about these parties with Mrs. Ford and Anna Meller and Anna Ray.

Mr. Bouhe.

Well, the only time I have been bringing that up is when I saw or heard that she had a black eye.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did you see that?

Mr. Bouhe.

I would say within the first 2 weeks of September. One Saturday several of us arrived at their house.

Mr. Liebeler.

At Oswald's house?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Where was that house located at that time?

Mr. Bouhe.

On Mercedes Street.

Mr. Liebeler.

In Fort Worth?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes; and she had a black eye. And not thinking about anything unfortunate, I said: "Well, did you run into a bathroom door?" Marina said, "Oh, no, he hit me."

Mr. Liebeler.

Was Oswald there at that time?

Mr. Bouhe.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Marina tell you the details of her argument with Oswald?

Mr. Bouhe.

No; maybe the dinner wasn't ready or this wasn't or something.

Mr. Liebeler.

She didn't tell you the details though at that time?

Mr. Bouhe.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

You said that you noticed another black eye. Did you see Marina with bruises on her at a time prior to this time in September?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

When was that? Did she appear bruised at Mr. Gregory's party?

Mr. Bouhe.

Oh, no; that was when she ran away from Oswald, probably in the middle of November, already in Oak Cliff here in Dallas. She called at 11 o'clock at night Mrs. Anna Meller from a gasoline station and said, "He is beating me up and here I am with the baby and no-diaper and no nothing, and so on, what can I do?"
Well, if you talk to Mrs. Anna Meller, you will see that she is a plain, very attractive woman with a big heart, and what could she say but "come over."

Mr. Liebeler.

Mrs. Meller told Marina to come over to her house?

Mr. Bouhe.

Right. That was 11 o'clock at night.

Mr. Liebeler.

Marina went to Mrs. Meller's and stayed there about a week?

Mr. Bouhe.

About a week.

Mr. Liebeler.

And subsequently she went to Mrs. Ford's house?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you took her there to Mrs. Ford?

Mr. Bouhe.

I did take her, with the baby and the playpen, and Mrs. Anna Meller drove over with us to Mrs. Katya Ford's, I think, on a Saturday or Sunday, because Mrs. Ford volunteered that since the Meller's had a very small apartment, to take Marina for a week because her husband, Declan P. Ford, was attending the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Convention in Houston for the whole week and she could bring her over for a week.

Mr. Liebeler.

That was in November of 1962?

Mr. Bouhe.

I would say October, but I would not swear. Do you know it is November?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes, it was November 11 to 18, 1962, according to Mrs. Ford.

Mr. Bouhe.

Well then, it was, if Mrs. Ford said so, and the only double check I can make is to check, when was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Convention in Houston.

Mr. Liebeler.

I don't know, but that is a matter that Mrs. Ford can testify. Your recollection was, it would have been in October, is that correct?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes; because they moved from--she is probably right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Let's go into that just a little bit. When, according to your recollection, did Oswald move from Fort Worth to Dallas?
