(Testimony of Mrs. Donald Gibson)

Mrs. Gibson.
Well, she'd tell, you know, Mrs. Hall to tell me something and Mrs. Hall would tell me, that is how, or through Lee, or through gestures or a dictionary she would be able to tell me a few words.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know whether or where, I will put it that way, where Lee stayed between the 19th of October 1962, when he left the Y, and November 3, 1962, when they moved into the Elsbeth Street apartment?
Mrs. Gibson.
I know that he stayed part of the time, I'd say a good portion of the time, at Mrs. Hall's. Now, whether he had another residence I don't know. I know he spent a few evenings with my father. If he spent a night there I don't know.
Mr. Jenner.
When you say he spent a few evenings with your father, I infer from that--and if my inference is wrong please tell me that there were occasions when he stayed overnight in your father's home.
Mrs. Gibson.
No; not occasions. I think possibly one or two times. But he would be over there evenings and they would talk. Then he would leave. Now, where he went to I don't know.
Mr. Jenner.
But your recollection is that there were at least several occasions in which he stayed overnight in your father's home?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; I am trying very hard to think of where he stayed. It is such a very vague recollection, so vague it is barely there, that he had a room. But I don't know where.
Mr. Jenner.
During this period?
Mrs. Gibson.
During that period; yes.
Mr. Jenner.
From the 19th to the 3d?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; it is so vague but it is there, that he had a room somewhere. Where I don't know. I just can't think.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have a recollection that either you or your husband ever went to visit him at some room?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; Gary possibly, but me, no. Gary might have picked him up some place, but not me. I don't recall. It is just so vague and maybe it is just because you think there was one that I say this. But I feel. that there was a room some place.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have any recollection that your stepmother gave you at any time an address?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; I don't.
Mr. Jenner.
At which Lee, a place where Lee was staying during this period from October 19 to November 3?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; I don't. She might have, but I have no recollection of it whatsoever. But then we weren't on too tremendously good terms and I might have just not even thought of what she said.
Mr. Jenner.
In any event, it is your recollection that during this period, October 19 through November 3, that Lee did stay a good portion of the time at the Halls?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
With Marina?
Mrs. Gibson.
It seems to me that he had a place to live somewhere near where he was working, somewhere easily accessible on foot, to where he was working.
Mr. Jenner.
That is your former husband Gary's recollection, and he seemed reasonably confident that you would recall the address.
Mrs. Gibson.
No, no; no idea. Did Gary mention something about one night we were in Oak Cliff and we were looking for some place.
Mr. Jenner.
He said you were looking for Oswald?
Mrs. Gibson.
Is that what he said? And we went up and down and up and down and we never found the place. I recall one evening, I don't remember what we were looking for, but I recall this.
Mr. Jenner.
You were looking for Oswald?
Mrs. Gibson.
Is that who we were looking for?
Mr. Jenner.
No; I--
Mrs. Gibson.
I don't know, I am not sure, but one evening Gary and I were looking for some place, and I don't know where it was. But it was in Oak Cliff. It was right over the river. And we went up and down and back and forth for
