(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)

Mr. Rankin.
Well, can you give us any estimate of what you think he had?
Mrs. Oswald.
He might have had $50 or $70, thereabouts. It is necessary sometimes to make a joke. Otherwise, it gets boring.
Mr. Rankin.
After the first weekend, after your husband returned, which he spent at the Paines, as you have described, where did he live in Dallas?
Mrs. Oswald.
He said that he rented a room in Oak Cliff, but I don't know the address I didn't ask, because I didn't need it.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know that he lived with a Mrs. Bledsoe at any time in Dallas?
Mrs. Oswald.
In what sense do you mean "lived with"?
Mr. Rankin.
I mean roomed in her home.
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
That was a place on Marsallis Street?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't know about it.
Mr. Rankin.
How did he return from Irving to Dallas at that time?
Mrs. Oswald.
Ruth met him at the bus station at that time and drove him home. By bus.
Mr. Rankin.
You said before that you learned about the depository job at some neighbor's home, it that right?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
In whose home was that?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't know her last name. When you walk out of the Paine house, it is the first house to the right. I am trying to remember. Perhaps later I will.
Mr. Rankin.
Was it the lady of that house who told you, or someone that was a guest there?
Mrs. Oswald.
Perhaps you know the name.
Mr. Rankin.
We don't know the name of the lady next door. We know a number of names, but not by the location.
Mrs. Oswald.
Her first name is Dorothy. And there was another woman there, another neighbor, who said that her brother worked at the depository, and that as far as she knew, there was a vacancy there.
Mr. Rankin.
And what was the name of that neighbor whose brother worked at the depository?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't know.
Mr. Rankin.
Was that Mrs. Randle?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't know. I might know her first name if you mention it.
Mr. Rankin.
Is there a Linnie Mae Randle that you remember?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
Was she a sister of Mr. Frazier?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't know such people.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know a Mr. Frazier that had a job at the depository?
Mrs. Oswald.
I didn't know his name. I knew that it was a young man. I don't think he was 18 yet.
Mr. Rankin.
And was he the brother of this friend who was at the neighbor's house?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And he was the one that your husband rode from Irving into Dallas from time to time to go to work, did he?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, after Lee was already working this boy would bring Lee and take him back with him to Dallas.
Mr. Rankin.
And when did he take him, ordinarily?
Mrs. Oswald.
8 o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Rankin.
And did he take him on Monday morning?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Usually each week he would take him on Monday morning?
Mrs. Oswald.
When Lee came for a weekend, yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And then when did he bring him back from Dallas?
Mrs. Oswald.
At 5:30 on Friday.
Mr. Rankin.
Did your husband ever come in the middle of the week?
Mrs. Oswald.
No, only during the last week when all of this happened with reference to the assassination of the President--he came on a Thursday.
