Mr. RANKIN. What was the date now?
Mrs. OSWALD. This is Saturday, November 23d. This is approximately 6:30
in the evening, that the FBI agent came. And the telephone call was
later.
Now, I have no way of knowing whether Lee had permission to use the
telephone. Remember, Lee is in jail.
Mr. RANKIN. About what time do you think the telephone call was?
Mrs. OSWALD. I would say it was about 7:30, 8 o'clock in the night.
Mr. RANKIN. That was still on Saturday night?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir, still on Saturday night at the Executive Inn.
And that was after the picture was shown to me--she received this
telephone call, and became very silent.
And the next day my son was shot.
Now, it is now that I have done investigation of this case that I
believe that the picture was meant for Marina to see, meant for Marina
to see.
Mr. RANKIN. Why do you think that?
Mrs. OSWALD. Because now it has been proven that Jack Ruby killed my
son. And I think there is a connection there. Because Marina did not
tell me about her conversation. And you men hold the answer whether Lee
used the telephone from the jailhouse. I don't know that.
Mr. RANKIN. You base that on just your own conclusion that you arrive
at now, do you?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes--because of the FBI agent, Mr. Hart Odum, insistence
on taking my daughter-in-law--and he being the same agent that came
and showed the picture. And Mr. Ruby being the man that shot Lee--yes,
these are definite conclusions.
Mr. RANKIN. That is what you base it on?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir, that is what I base it on.
Mr. DULLES. Do I understand correctly that Marina did not see the
picture at any time?
Mrs. OSWALD. That is correct, sir. But they tried awfully hard for
Marina to see the picture.
