(Testimony of Anna N. Meller)
Mrs. Meller.
I could not recall really, but if I had, I never had Oswald's over to my house.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Charles Edward Harris from Georgetown. Tex.?
Mrs. Meller.
Charles Edward Harris, yes; I met him one time or two.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was he at the Ford party; do you remember?
Mrs. Meller.
I do not think so.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was there any discussion as far as you can recall either at the Ford party or at your place or anywhere during this period of time where question of whether Lee Oswald was a Russian agent was discussed?
Mrs. Meller.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever discuss that question with anybody?
Mrs. Meller.
No; never.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever hear anybody discuss it?
Mrs. Meller.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did it ever occur to you that Oswald might be an agent of the Soviet Union?
Mrs. Meller.
Could not say; can be but I cannot say.
Mr. Liebeler.
You do not remember talking about that?
Mrs. Meller.
No; we never talked about that; I remember exactly.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, have you told us everything that you can remember about your meetings with Oswald and Marina that you think the Commission would be interested in; can you think of anything else?
Mrs. Meller.
I am thinking and seems to be that's all.
Mr. Liebeler.
How well do you know De Mohrenschildt?
Mrs. Meller.
How long?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes.
Mrs. Meller.
Oh, I know him about 6 years, probably; met him very seldom and we were never friends, real close, never.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was he friendly with Oswald, do you know?
Mrs. Meller.
Try to help, I think was--try to help as much as we did. He had a car; he took them, I think to Anna Ray house and tried to bring some of her dresses and things belonging. If he was later together with Lee Oswald, I do not have any idea.
Mr. Liebeler.
Were you surprised when you heard that Oswald had been arrested in connection with the assassination?
Mrs. Meller.
I do not--if I say surprised or was shocked when President Kennedy was assassinated; I was shocked. I was in such sorrow that I could not explain to you. I do not have enough English words in my vocabulary to describe what shock it was and later, when I find out it was Lee Harvey, I was completely shocked. I was completely out of my place and afraid for what a person, if he really did that, what it could happen to us. It was terrible shock; I could not explain to you. We could not believe at first at all.
Mr. Liebeler.
You were very surprised when you heard it was Lee Oswald?
Mrs. Meller.
We could not believe he will do things like that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember being interviewed by the FBI?
Mrs. Meller.
Yes, sir; three times.
Mr. Liebeler.
Three times?
Mrs. Meller.
Yes, sir oh, I mean from FBI one time; Secret Service another time, and third time it was from police. I cannot recall name but it was three times together.
Mr. Liebeler.
As fas as you can remember the FBI only interviewed you once?
Mrs. Meller.
Yes; once FBI, once Secret Service, and once Dallas group.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was it the Dallas police force?
Mrs. Meller.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Dallas police officers?
Mrs. Meller.
Yes, yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever form an opinion as to who was responsible for these marital difficulties the Oswalds were having? Did you think it was mostly Lee Harvey's fault or did you think it was partly her fault, or what?
Mrs. Meller.
It was not easy to judge but I think since we do not know them very close and very long, let's say this way but it seems to me again that Lee Oswald was not normal because later I heard from somebody that
