Mr. Jenner. Did you say that to her?

Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I did.

Mr. Jenner. Affirmatively?

Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. And what did she say in response to that?

Mr. Oswald. I believe, sir, to the best of my memory she wanted to know why I did not want her to return with her children to Mr. and Mrs. Paine.

Mr. Jenner. That is a normal response.

What did you say to that?

Mr. Oswald. As best I could I indicated to her I didn't think they were the proper or correct people for her to be associated with.

Mr. Jenner. Well, that is a term of conclusion, Mr. Oswald. Would you please tell us—were you more specific than that, or just say, "I don't think they are the proper people"?
