Mr. Jenner. Do you have any knowledge or acquaintance with whether Marina did any shopping on her own?
Mr. Oswald. During the period that they were in Fort Worth, Tex., sir?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I am acquainted.
Mr. Jenner. Would you relate your knowledge in that respect?
Mr. Oswald. A conversation with my wife on return home from work one afternoon, approximately the latter part of June 1962—correction, sir.
It was not a conversation with my wife—it was a conversation with my mother, at approximately the latter part of August 1962, or the first part of October 1962. And, to the best of my recollection, the conversation was to the effect that Lee Harvey Oswald had gone downtown in Fort Worth, Tex., looking for a job, and that Marina wanted to find Lee while he was downtown, and even though reportedly from my mother that she insisted that she not leave the house, she did, carrying the baby, June Lee Oswald with her, and walked approximately 15 or 16 blocks into downtown Fort Worth.
It is my understanding that she became lost or needed assistance in her directions, in her attempt either to find Lee Harvey Oswald or return home, that she asked the assistance of a police officer, and that apparently she did not have any other difficulty.
It is my understanding at that time that she did purchase either some baby clothes or perhaps some clothes for herself.
Mr. Jenner. And this was all related to you by your mother?
