So I got no information there.
The CHAIRMAN. Would you like to take a short recess, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, I am getting thirsty.
The CHAIRMAN. Suppose we do. We will take one for about 10 minutes.
(Brief recess.)
The CHAIRMAN. The Commission will be in order. Mrs. Oswald, you may
continue with your statement.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir. Now, we are in Mrs. Paine's home yet.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes. This is on the day of the assassination?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir--the 22d, Friday, the 22d.
I am worried because Lee hasn't had an attorney. And I am talking about
that, and Mrs. Paine said, "Oh, don't worry about that. I am a member
of the Civil Liberties Union, and Lee will have an attorney, I can
assure you."
I said to myself but when? Of course, I didn't want to push her, argue
with her. But the point was if she was a member of the Union, why
didn't she see Lee had an attorney then. So I wasn't too happy about
that.
Now, gentlemen, this is some very important facts.
My daughter-in-law spoke to Mrs. Paine in Russian. "Mamma," she says.
So she takes me into the bedroom and closes the door. She said, "Mamma,
I show you." She opened the closet, and in the closet was a lot of
books and papers. And she came out with a picture--a picture of Lee,
with a gun.
It said, "To my daughter June"--written in English.
