Mr. HOSTY. Lied; or was inconsistent.
Mr. STERN. He had said in New Orleans that he had been married in Fort
Worth, married a girl named Prossa, that he had originally told the New
Orleans police that he had been born in Cuba.
Mr. HOSTY. Yes.
Mr. STERN. You were aware of all these inconsistencies?
Mr. HOSTY. Right.
Mr. STERN. What did these suggest to you in view of what you knew about
Oswald?
Mr. HOSTY. I knew that he was not telling the truth in his interview
in New Orleans, because I had previously checked the background of his
wife and himself, and I knew that she was born in Russia and her name
was not Prossa. They were not married in Fort Worth, so I knew he was
not telling the truth.
Mr. STERN. You knew that on November 1.
Mr. HOSTY. Right.
Mr. STERN. And at what time did you know of Oswald's trip to Mexico
City and his apparent appearance there at the Russian Embassy?
Mr. HOSTY. The 25th of October.
