Mr. Liebeler.

Who was that man?

Mr. Bouhe.

Lev Aronson, chief first cello, Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Mr. Aronson speak to Oswald? Is that why he thought Oswald was an idiot?

Mr. Bouhe.

I am not a buddy-buddy of his.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you didn't hear why Aronson thought Oswald was an idiot?

Mr. Bouhe.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

After the party at the Fords, there was a get-together at the Mellers residence sometime before that weekend. Were you present at that party?

Mr. Bouhe.

Not with Oswald.

Mr. Liebeler.

I didn't say Oswald was there. But there was a group of people who got together at the Mellers either the next day or the day after?

Mr. Bouhe.

I do not recall that. But they are my close friends of a long time and I am almost sure I must have been there.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember any discussion at that party about the question of whether or not Oswald might be a Russian agent?

Mr. Bouhe.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

There was also an open-house at your own apartment during that period of time, was there not?

Mr. Bouhe.

I think there were occasional parties. No discussions about Oswald being a Russian agent.

Mr. Liebeler.

At any time during the period December 28 for the next few days?

Mr. Bouhe.

To the best of my recollection, as far as I am concerned, well, whether others talked, I don't know.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you didn't hear anybody talking about it?

Mr. Bouhe.

Not to my hearing.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember saying that Oswald was essentially a mental case?

Mr. Bouhe.

Well, in the words of Mr. Aronson, I would say that mental case, that means he is crazy. That is what I meant.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember using those words at any time during the period December 28 and the few days following that day?

Mr. Bouhe.

That I do not remember, but there is a good Russian word when you act crazy, we say, "My God, you are crazy." But that I do not remember.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember suggesting to Oswald that he attend some school and study to attempt to improve his ability?

Mr. Bouhe.

Right.

Mr. Liebeler.

When was that?

Mr. Bouhe.

That was most probably the first week of October when he moved here, October 1962.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember what he said to you in response?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes. "What kind of school do they have?"
And I said, "Crozier Evening Technical School, which is a Dallas Board of Education deal, has 50 subjects for grown-ups to improve their skill, whether it is academic things, languages, or whether you want to make lampshades."

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know whether Oswald ever went to Crozier Tech?

Mr. Bouhe.

I do not. He did not tell me anything, but a Secret Service agent from Los Angeles called me and asked what school could he have gone to, and I said we have only one.

Mr. Liebeler.

That was Crozier Tech?

Mr. Bouhe.

That is called Dallas Evening Public School.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever see any periodicals or similar literature or magazines that Oswald subscribed to in his apartment?

Mr. Bouhe.

American or Russian?

Mr. Liebeler.

Of any nature.

Mr. Bouhe.

Certainly I saw a lot of Russian magazines, but whether or not he subscribed or bought occasionally or somebody sent them, I do not know.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember the names of any of them? Let me ask you was "Agitator" one of them?
