Mr. Liebeler.

Did she appear to be bruised?

Mrs. Meller.

I will not say exactly but she was out of herself.

Mr. Liebeler.

She seemed to be upset?

Mrs. Meller.

Nervous, upset and looked like--she did not cry exactly and at me now but looks like she cried--her eyes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did she tell you what she and Oswald had been arguing about?

Mrs. Meller.

I do not remember. She said he beat her and I do not remember asking really for what or something. I did not ask for arguments, really, because it was so shocking and so unagreeable. I do not think I went into detail.

Mr. Liebeler.

How long did Marina stay with you?

Mrs. Meller.

Marina stay, I think 1 week, 5 days at my home, something like Monday until Friday and Friday she went to another family by the name of Mr. Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Ford.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Marina tell you any time during that week that she stayed with you what she and Oswald had been arguing about and what their difficulties were?

Mrs. Meller.

No, no; she did not say much. She mention that her husband could not find proper jobs. They don't want to take him or he could not find; she did not know herself very much. You can see without speaking word of English I do not know what he could come home and tell her; I cannot imagine. She said Lee could not find job and they are in trouble and she did not say much. By the way, she was so skinny to this time and so undernourished; look as skinny as she could be and she did not feel good. She had pain everywhere in her body and looking at her I decided to take her to doctor and let check her health a little bit.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you take her to the doctor?

Mrs. Meller.

So, I took her during this week she stay with me. I took her to the G-y-n by the name Doctor Paul Wolff.

Mr. Liebeler.

W-o-l-f [spelling]?

Mrs. Meller.

Yes, W-o-l-f-f [spelling].

Mr. Liebeler.

W-o-l-f-f [spelling].

Mrs. Meller.

He give her examination and said in my presence, said she's very undernourished and if she will not put at least 5 pounds immediately she will have pain everywhere; that she is just weak and need to eat better and mean she was not eating good at all. She had bad appetite.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Marina tell you how long she had been living in Dallas?

Mrs. Meller.

I do not remember, sir, exactly.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember her saying anything about living in the home of Elena Hall?

Mrs. Meller.

Elena Hall; yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did she tell you about that?

Mrs. Meller.

That Mrs. Hall was very good to her and she stayed there probably about 3 weeks if not more.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did she tell you how long it had been since she lived in Mrs. Hall's home?

Mrs. Meller.

Can you repeat that question?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes; did she tell you how long it had been since she had left Mrs. Hall's home? In other words, I want to know how long she had been living in Dallas with Oswald.

Mrs. Meller.

No; I do not recall her saying. But may I go back?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes.

Mrs. Meller.

It is time--thank you for remembering, helping me here. It was the time between Fort Worth and our family and, in other words, I think now like it is my recollection he lost a job in Fort Worth and went to Dallas look for job. During this time Marina stay at Mrs. Hall home for 3 or 4 weeks, if I am correct. It is not easy to remember, really, and during this time we heard, I think he called on telephone to us, Lee Harvey, and asked if we know something, if we can help him with a job. In all time when we visited them in apartment in Fort Worth and I heard from Marina that her husband may lose job pretty soon, maybe next week or later because he was temporary there, just like good soul, I say "You have to come to Dallas which is larger town and maybe he find job." I did not say personally about George Bouhe maybe
