(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey , Edith Whitworth, Oswald)
Mrs. Whitworth.
She doesn't look like she does today, because her face was fuller then and it might have been because she just had this baby then and still hadn't gone back like she was. This baby was just a tiny thing. I didn't see it, it was wrapped up in some kind of a blanket, but this little girl--it definitely was her. It seemed like her hair was a little darker but she did have on some kind of a cap.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you understand this?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I wonder if somebody was in car or not?
Mrs. Whitworth.
That, I wouldn't testify that there was anybody in the car with you, because I observed what happened in the store, you know. I. mean, you impressed me in the store and not out of the store. I didn't notice, because too many people drove up. I thought your car was a two-tone car, either a Ford or a Plymouth- -now--I don't know. I thought it was blue and white I wouldn't, you know, swear to that. I mean, too many cars drove up out in front like that, but it was what happened on the inside of the store that I was more impressed with and remembered, and your actions and his, because she acted like she wasn't interested in what he said because she didn't exchange words or anything, but I did talk to him, and I know it was him and I know she was in there.
She may not remember it, but if I was to see her today and seeing her that day and I was to meet her on the street, it would be hard for me to identify her. You know, she still has the features, but her face was round and she had her hair pulled back [indicating].
Mr. Gregory.
You mean in a pony tail?
Mrs. Whitworth.
In a pony tail.
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; it wasn't that.
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, there was something tied around it--you had something tied around it, I mean, slicked back from her face.
*Mrs. OSWALD. I didn't wear this.
Mrs. Whitworth.
I called it a pony tail, but it was kind of pulled back to the back.
*Mrs. OSWALD. I had two pigtails.
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, she might have it was tied back and whipped back from her face. Her face was round then and she was pretty then--I'd say she was pretty.
*Mrs. OSWALD. Thank you.
Mrs. Whitworth.
The little girl--I tried to talk to her and attract her attention, but she was whining all the time she was in there and she was trying to attend to this little girl and had this baby in her arms and the little girl walked out in front of her, you know, when they left the store.
*Mrs. OSWALD. Just one time I was in the store? I do not remember that I was ever in a furniture store. That does not make a difference for me. I recall the time when I was in a store with Mrs. Ruth Paine.
Mr. Gregory.
Which store was it?
Mrs. Oswald.
In that store they were selling baby things and towels and I was looking for something for a child.
Mrs. Whitworth.
No; I didn't sell anything like that--mine was all furniture.
*Mrs. OSWALD. There was just one store like that.
Mrs. Whitworth.
But we went to the extreme back of the store and, as well as I remember, I had a used reddish maple bookcase headboard bed, you know, I was showing you.
Mrs. Oswald.
I was never in any furniture store.
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, she didn't act like she was, even that day, you know, she walked off.
*Mrs. OSWALD. You know, not because I want to say you are wrong, but I can't remember I was in a furniture store, especially when I talked with somebody.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, Marina, you said you do remember one time that you were in a store with Mrs. Paine and with Lee and with the children. Do you remember how long you were in the store that time?
*Mrs. OSWALD. About 30 minutes.
Mr. Liebeler.
And how long, Mrs. Whitworth, was she in the store this time that you are talking about?
