Mr. RANKIN. Did he speak to you in Russian when he called you on the
telephone?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Sometimes he would try to speak in English when
someone was listening, and he didn't want them to know he spoke
Russian--then he would try to speak in English.
Mr. RANKIN. Did he ever speak in Spanish when he was talking to you
from Dallas?
Mrs. OSWALD. No. He doesn't speak Spanish. I don't either. His landlady
heard him say "Adios" and she decided that he spoke Spanish, because
she didn't understand that he had spoken Russian all that time.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you have a special celebration for your husband's
birthday?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. When was that?
Mrs. OSWALD. On October 18th.
Mr. RANKIN. Who was there?
Mrs. OSWALD. Ruth and her children, I, Lee, and Paine's husband,
Michael.
Mr. RANKIN. Did Wesley Frazier bring your husband home at that time?
Mrs. OSWALD. Frazier is the last name? Wesley was that boy's name. I
now remember.
Mr. RANKIN. Did he bring him home that weekend?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't remember.
It seems to me, yes. It is hard to remember now which weekend was which.
Mr. RANKIN. On these weekends, did you ever observe your husband going
to the garage, practicing with the rifle in any way?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you see him leave the house when he could have been
going to the garage and practicing with his rifle?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, he couldn't have practiced while we were at the
Paine's, because Ruth was there. But whenever she was not at home,
he tried to spend as much time as he could with me--he would watch
television in the house. But he did go to the garage to look at our
things that were there.
Mr. RANKIN. And you don't know when he went there what he might have
done with the rifle? Is that what you mean?
Mrs. OSWALD. At least I didn't notice anything.
