(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit No. 5, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin. Before you told the Commission about the Walker shooting, and your knowledge, did you tell anyone else about it?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, to the members of the Secret Service and the FBI.
Mr. Rankin. Did you tell your mother-in-law?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I also told his mother about it.
Mr. Rankin. When did you tell his mother about the incident?
Mrs. Oswald. After Lee was arrested, on Saturday—he was arrested on Friday. I don't remember when I met with his mother—whether it was on the same Friday—yes, Friday evening. I met her at the police station. From there we went to Ruth Paine's where I lived at that time. And she remained overnight, stayed overnight there. I had a photograph of Lee with the rifle, which I gave. At that time I spoke very little English. I explained as best I could about it. And that is why I showed her the photograph. And I told her that Lee had wanted to kill Walker.
Mr. Rankin. Now, turning to the period when you were in New Orleans, did you write to the Russian Embassy about going to Russia, returning to Russia at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Was that about the first part of July, that you wrote?
