(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey , Edith Whitworth, Oswald)
Mr. Liebeler.
What about you, Mrs. Whitworth, do you recognize these people as the people that were in your store that day?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, like I say, she has changed, but I am definitely sure they were in there.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, as you sit here and look at these children who have been here this morning with Mrs. Oswald, do you recognize them?
Mrs. Whitworth.
They have grown, and according to their ages and all--they were there.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you have any doubt about that?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I don't have a doubt in the world but that they were there. I believe it might have been, if she could remember, probably about her, of course, the first time after she had this new baby over here, her husband told me Lee Harvey Oswald told me that the baby was 2 weeks old and we discussed my grandchildren about the same age and they were boys. She probably didn't understand our discussion but we discussed these two children and my two grandchildren.
Mrs. Oswald.
I remember Lee exchanging conversations with a woman, but she was a younger woman and they were talking about the baby.
Mrs. Whitworth.
That was me, probably, but my hair might not be as gray as it is today and I probably have changed, too, but we discussed the babies and trading babies, you know, we was just joking, in fact, in fact I was, anyway, and he said he had hoped to have had a boy when he had the two girls, and we were hoping for a little granddaughter. We talked and she walked off. She never would--she never offered to show us the baby or anything and that's what impressed me more than anything else. Otherwise, I probably would have never paid any attention to them being in the store or anything else, but it was that special talking to him and I was to expedite just about like he was on television one time. It was cool that day and you had to have on--it was probably the 4th, 5th, or 6th of November.
*Mrs. OSWALD. That sounds just about like Lee.
Mr. Liebeler.
And Marina made that answer when Mrs. Whitworth remarked that Lee said that he hoped to have a boy and, isn't that right, Marina?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; I don't hear this.
Mr. Liebeler.
Because he did want that?
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, Mrs. Whitworth, did he do something unusual--did he drive up at the store and park the car and get out?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I wouldn't say what he did do, but I saw the car come up and I think it was his own car, and I think that it was his own car and I know the door that he came in and I know he went back to the car ,and she came in, but she didn't come in the same door as he did. Whether he drove that car up there, I won't say he didn't and I won't say he drove it off.
Mr. Liebeler.
You told the FBI that he got into the car and drove it off going the wrong way down the street, as a matter of fact?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I think, really, that Mrs. Hunter and I had talked about it, but I'm not going to say that she described the car at all, but all I wane to say is that they were in that store that day, you know, they've got four of them and I didn't see anyone else in the car and I didn't think you could do it, and if I did at that time, why it was maybe because I had talked to Mrs. Hunter previously about that, because the car did come up there to the gate and they would make a U-turn and go back down the way--back down that one way, and Mrs. Hunter would notice it, where I wouldn't pay too much attention about what happened every day.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, you don't recall whether he drove the car or not?
Mrs. Whitworth.
It has been a long time and I don't recall.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you tell me yesterday or the day before yesterday that you saw this car drive up in front and the man get out, and did it appear to you that he was driving the car?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I saw him get out of the car and come to the west door; absolutely.
Mr. Liebeler.
Which side of the car did he get out from; do you remember?
