(Testimony of Elena A. Hall)
Mrs. Hall.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
You mentioned the fact that he had done some fishing at the little pond in Dallas?
Mrs. Hall.
That is when he didn't have any job.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Mr. Alexander Kleinlerer?
Mrs. Hall.
Yes. He was coming to my house while John and I were divorced. That was all.
Mr. Liebeler.
What?
Mrs. Hall.
I said, that was all he was coming, you know.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did Mr. Kleinlerer tell you that during the time that you were in the hospital and subsequently when you were in New York, that he came to the house to see how Marina was and how she was getting along?
Mrs. Hall.
Yes. He didn't tell me, but Mrs. Clark told me, because when I came back from New York, John was in Fort Worth already, and we got married after 2 days and I didn't see him any more. I didn't see this Kleinlerer any more.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever seen him since then?
Mrs. Hall.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
You had no discussions yourself with Kleinlerer about what Marina was doing or who was at the house while you were gone?
Mrs. Hall.
No. Mrs. Clark told me that sometime he would take Marina to grocery store, and sometimes she would take her.
Mr. Liebeler.
How did you make arrangements to pay for these groceries for Marina while you were in the hospital and you were in New York? Did you give her money, or did you have a charge account at the grocery store, or something like that? What was it?
Mrs. Hall.
I didn't give her money that time.
Mr. Liebeler.
How did she get groceries during the time that you were gone to New York and during the time that you were in the hospital, do you know?
Mrs. Hall.
I don't know. Maybe Mrs. Clark or Mr. Kleinlerer paid for her.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you yourself did not pay for any of her groceries?
Mrs. Hall.
No; I did not.
Mr. Liebeler.
But during the time that you and Marina both were living at the house, you paid for the groceries, is that correct?
Mrs. Hall.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
How long did both you and Marina live in the house together?
Mrs. Hall.
Well, I guess 2 weeks.
Mr. Liebeler.
That you were actually together in the house?
Mrs. Hall.
Yes. But I was working all the time. And in fact--that time when she was in my house, sometimes I stayed for overtime. I worked overtime at nights.
Mr. Liebeler.
Were you doing work as a dental technician at that time?
Mrs. Hall.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
During the time that you knew the Oswalds and these various meetings that you had with them, did you discuss with them the reasons as to why Lee Oswald went to Russia in the first place?
Mrs. Hall.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever discuss with either one of them, or were you. present at a discussion where he told anybody what kind of a job he had in Russia?
Mrs. Hall.
He was working in some kind of factory, I think. I don't remember, really. I never did talk about this with him.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't remember that he told you or anybody when you were there, how much he was paid in the factory, do you?
Mrs. Hall.
Well, I think 80 rubles, Russian rubles, I think. Well, I don't know. I think she had 80 rubles. He had a little bit more.
Mr. Liebeler.
That was while Marina worked, too?
Mrs. Hall.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did Oswald say that he had any other source of income when he was in Russia from any source other than his job?
Mrs. Hall.
No.
