Mrs. Oswald. No, he had no friends who had any influence over him. He himself had changed by comparison to the way he was in Russia. But what the reason for that was, I don't know.
Am I giving sufficient answers to your questions?
Mr. Rankin. You are doing fine.
Did your consideration of a divorce from your husband have anything to do with his ideas and political opinions?
Mrs. Oswald. No. The only reasons were personal ones with reference to our personal relationship, not political reasons.
Mr. Rankin. In your story you say that what was involved was some of his crazy ideas and political opinions. Can you tell us what you meant by that?
Mrs. Oswald. This was after the case, after the matter of the divorce. I knew that Lee had such political leanings.
Mr. Rankin. With regard to your Russian friends, did you find the time when they came less to see you and didn't show as much interest in you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Can you give us about the time, just approximately when you noticed that difference?
