(Testimony of Paul Roderick Gregory)

Mr. Gregory.
I could not say. I would not think so, because of what I have already said about the fact that Lee had expressed admiration of Khrushchev and had expressed that positive feeling toward Kennedy.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now that I have called to your attention and you recall that either Lee or Marina did make a remark about the world troubles being caused by the leaders and not the people, does that cause you to reflect on your prior testimony?
Mr. Gregory.
No; I don't think so. There was no animosity in the statement. It was more or less----
Mr. Liebeler.
Philosophical opposition--no personal animosity expressed at all?
Mr. Gregory.
No; no such animosity.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know of any connection between Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you have any knowledge of Oswald's drinking habits, as far as alcoholic beverages are concerned?
Mr. Gregory.
He never drank in my presence.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know whether or not Oswald was interested in any other women during the time that you knew him?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever hear that he was?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he ever express an interest in guns to you?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever observe any firearms in his presence?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Or in his possession?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Or discuss the subject of firearms?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
During these lessons that you received from Marina in the Russian language, was Oswald usually present or usually absent?
Mr. Gregory.
Usually present. In fact, he was always there. The first time I was ever over was the time that he was away somewhere, and he came back, say, 10 minutes after the lesson started.
Mr. Liebeler.
That was the time he had been to TCU?
Mr. Gregory.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever hear of any attempt on Oswald's part to commit suicide?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
The same question as to Marina?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know James Martin?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
You never met James Martin at any time?
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you meet him in Oklahoma?
Mr. Gregory.
No; I never met him in Oklahoma.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know anyone by the name of James Martin?
Mr. Gregory.
The only persons I ever met in Lee's presence are his brother, and Thanksgiving when I went to pick him up there was another half brother and his wife.
Mr. Liebeler.
The name was Pic, was it not?
Mr. Gregory.
Yes. I learned that after the assassination.
Mr. Liebeler.
After the assassination did you learn that there was a man by the name of James Martin who became Marina's business manager?
Mr. Gregory.
I believe I read the name in the paper.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you never met him either in Fort Worth or Norman or any other place?
Mr. Gregory.
Never heard of him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Just never met him--any individual, who appeared to be
