*Mrs. OSWALD. Then he said, "Maybe you've told him about it", and then
he added--he said, "How did he guess it?"
Senator COOPER. De Mohrenschildt said he had lived in Minsk, did he
ever talk to you about Minsk?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; he did say he lived in Minsk when he was a small
child.
Senator COOPER. You said also you heard them talking on occasions, that
is, you heard Lee Oswald and De Mohrenschildt talking about Russia, did
you hear them talking about political problems, political affiliations?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; they discussed politics.
Senator COOPER. Was De Mohrenschildt living in Dallas at the time of
the assassination of President Kennedy?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. He lived in Haiti.
Mr. GOPADZE. Do you know if he was in Haiti?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know whether he lived in Dallas at the time of
the assassination or whether he lived in Haiti.
Senator COOPER. Could you think back, Mrs. Oswald, is there any fact
which comes to your mind which would lead you to believe that any
person or persons were associated with your husband in any plan to
assassinate President Kennedy, or you thought, Governor Connally?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. Of course, I don't know anything about it.
Senator COOPER. But my question was--not whether you knew. I asked you
whether you had any facts which would lead you to believe that there
was anyone?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know about this.
Senator COOPER. One other question. Did Lee Oswald ever say to you that
he had any kind of connection with the Cuban Government or any of its
agents?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. He did not tell me.
Senator COOPER. I said one more, and this is the last one, I promise
you.
Once you said that when you went to New Orleans together, he said
something like this: "I'm lost." If that's correct, what was he talking
about? Do you remember that?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. On that particular occasion he sat by the icebox or
the frigidaire and he sat there and he had his head in his hands and
he said, "I am lost." I believe that that was the result of all the
failures of his.
Senator COOPER. Did you feel sympathy for him and love for him in those
days?*
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; I felt sorry for him. I knew it was difficult for him
with his family. I felt sorry for him.
Senator COOPER. All right.
Senator RUSSELL. When you testified the second time in Washington, Mrs.
Oswald, that you didn't think Mr. De Mohrenschildt was as dangerous as
he sounds--that was your personal opinion--what did you mean by that?*
Here it is: "Mr. Mohrenschildt once took us out to the Fords' house. It
was at New Year's, I think--Katya Ford's house. It was either Christmas
or New Year's. I don't think Mr. De Mohrenschildt is as dangerous as he
sounds. That's my personal opinion."
No one had said anything about him being dangerous, so why was that
your opinion?** *
Mr. GREGORY. Off the record.
Senator RUSSELL. She understood that.
Mr. GREGORY. This goes into the record, of course?
Senator RUSSELL. Yes, sir.
