Mr. Oswald. That is correct. But still, searching my own mind, I certainly felt this way at that time. And John and I were not accustomed to her. Certainly I cannot speak for John. But for myself, on that point, I would say we were not accustomed to her. We had become—there again I say we—John and I—I feel like I certainly had become more disciplined and used to being disciplined by men, and not used to having a woman around the house. I believe this was perhaps my feeling at that time.
Mr. Jenner. All right. Now, if we can return to the events of April 1959, did your mother appear to you to have been injured?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; she did.
Mr. Jenner. What evidence was there of her injury?
Mr. Oswald. There appeared to be a little swelling in the upper part of the nose.
Mr. Jenner. Any scratch or other skin break?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; none that I recall.
Mr. Jenner. Did you form an opinion at that time as to whether her injury was major or minor?
Mr. Oswald. I asked her about it, or she volunteered the information of how the accident occurred, and that she had been seeing doctors, and so forth. And I did recall her stating to me that she had been to either two or three doctors, and none of them had said anything was wrong with her, and then she was insisting that there was definitely something wrong, and she was continuing to see other doctors.
Mr. Jenner. Had that sort of thing occurred prior thereto, in which your mother felt that she was ill and she went to physicians, and the physicians indicated otherwise?
