Mr. Jenner.

You were unacquainted with either of them prior to that time?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And you have already testified about the Paines. And you can recall none other--no other persons?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Friend or acquaintance of either Marina or of your brother Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Oswald.

Other than the ones I have described.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Dulles.

Plus, of course, the Paines, whom you have already discussed, and others you may have discussed.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have any knowledge of your brother Lee's defection or alleged defection other than that which you read in the newspapers?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I had not.

Mr. Jenner.

And other--other than there might be a reference to that in the correspondence you have produced for us?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have any possible reason to believe that your brother Lee Harvey Oswald knew Jack Ruby, or Jack Rubinstein, alias Jack Ruby?

Mr. Oswald.

Sir, are you asking for my opinion?

Mr. Jenner.

I am asking if you have any knowledge first--anything upon which. you can base an opinion.

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, I do not.

Mr. Jenner.

That he did or might have had an acquaintance with Jack Ruby or Jack Rubinstein?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Jenner.

I will ask you the same question as to Officer Tippit.

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir. I do not.

Mr. Dulles.

With regard to Jack Ruby, you hesitated a moment.
Do you have anything else in your mind about that that you wanted to or could add?

Mr. Oswald.

I just misinterpreted his question as to whether or not he wanted my opinion, rather than any facts that I might have.

Mr. Dulles.

Well, let's ask for your opinion now.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, we will go to your opinion.
Do you have an opinion?

Mr. Oswald.

Based on the newspaper articles that appeared during the week of November 25, 1963, at which time two reported employees of Mr. Jack Ruby, a man and a woman, stated to newspaper reporters that they had seen Lee Harvey Oswald in Mr. Ruby's establishment, known as the Carousel Club, and also on one occasion either or both of these reported witnesses stated that had seen Mr. Ruby speaking to Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Jenner.

And it is on the basis of that newspaper report and only that that you voice this opinion?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir.
I might further elaborate on my opinion that at various times through magazine articles and television programs, indicating the route taken by my brother Lee from the place of his boarding house, or apartment, and prior to his capture, was in a direct or approximately a direct line to Mr. Ruby's apartment.

Mr. Jenner.

Are you acquainted with the decision which your sister-in-law Marina, reached not to reside with your mother?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I most certainly am.

Mr. Jenner.

And did you take part in that decision, or were you present during the course of any event that resulted in her ultimate decision?

Mr. Oswald.

I would say that that decision, sir, was 90 percent my decision, and only 10 percent Marina N. Oswald's decision.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.
Now, as to that event, would you please tell us the course it took, your participation in it, where it occurred, and as much as you now recall about it?

Mr. Oswald.

This took place at the Inn----
