(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)
Mr. Liebeler.
Or the hole?
Mrs. Oswald.
Or the hole in the original--I would have remembered it.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you remember, then, that the license plate was actually on that car when you saw the picture?
Mrs. Oswald.
This black spot is so striking I would have remembered it if it were on the photograph that Lee showed me or the FBI.
Mr. Liebeler.
Let's address ourselves also, not just to the black spot but to the possibility that they may have shown you the actual original photograph on which there is no black spot, but which has a hole right through the photograph.
Mrs. Oswald.
There was no hole in the original when they showed it to me I'm positive of it.
Mr. Mckenzie.
All right, let me ask her a question.
Mrs. Oswald.
This is the first time I saw a black spot or have heard about a hole in the original photograph.
*Mrs. OSWALD. Why does the Commission not ask me about this?
Mr. Mckenzie.
Well, the Commission is asking you about it now, because Mr. Liebeler represents the Commission.
*Mrs. OSWALD. I know it.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Let me ask you--when Lee showed you this picture, which is Commission Exhibit No. 5, had it been folded over?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Mckenzie.
At that time did the car that appears in the picture, did it have a hole in the picture?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Mckenzie.
When the FBI or the Secret Service showed you this picture, had it been folded?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Who showed you the picture the FBI or the Secret Service or the Commission?
*Mrs. OSWALD. The FBI first and then the Commission.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Now, at the time the Commission showed you the picture in Washington, was there a hole shown in the picture where the cat's license plate would be?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; I don't know what happened to this picture, because when the Commission showed me the picture there was not this spot here.
Mrs. Oswald.
If there was a hole, I would have asked them right away why that hole is there or the black spot.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Off the record, please.
(Discussion between Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Liebeler to the effect that the picture might have been creased in the process of making a print from the original photograph.)
Mr. Mckenzie.
One more question--is this the first time that you have seen the picture when there was a black spot in the back of the automobile?
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; the first time.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever seen a picture like this that had a hole in it?
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you think of anything else about this Walker incident that you haven't already told the Commission that you think we should know that you can remember?
Mrs. Oswald.
I think I have told all I know about it--I can't remember anything else now.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did it seem strange to you at the time, Marina, that Lee did make these careful plans, take pictures, and write it up in a notebook, and then when he went out to shoot at General Walker he left all that incriminating evidence fight in the house so that if he had ever been stopped and questioned and if that notebook had been found, it would have clearly indicated that he was the one that shot at General Walker?
Mrs. Oswald.
He was such a person that nothing seems peculiar to me for what he did. I had so many surprises from him that nothing surprised me. He may have wished to appear such a brave man or something.
