Senator RUSSELL. What reason did he give for striking you, usually?*

*Mrs. OSWALD. Well, the reasons were if--they were very petty--I can't

even remember what the reasons were after this quarrel was over.

Sometimes he would tell me to shut up, and I don't take that from him.

**I'm not a very quiet woman myself.

Senator RUSSELL. "I'm not--" what?

**Mrs. OSWALD. I'm not a quiet woman myself and sometimes it gets on

your nerves and you'll just tell him he's an idiot and he will become

more angry with you.

*Enraged. When I would call him an idiot, he would say, "Well, I'll

show you what kind of an idiot I am," so he would beat me up.
