Mr. Rankin. That was in this same conversation, after he had told you about the trip to Mexico?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. When he asked you not to tell anyone about the trip to Mexico, did he tell you why he asked you to do that?
Mrs. Oswald. No. I knew that he was secretive, and that he loved to make secrets of things.
Mr. Rankin. Did you know the Comrade Kostin that is referred to in this letter of November 8, Exhibit 15?
Mrs. Oswald. I never wrote to him. I don't know. I don't know where he got that name from.
Mr. Rankin. Did your husband say anything about Comrade Kostin and his visit with him at the embassy in Mexico City, when he told you about the trip?
Mrs. Oswald. He did not name him. He didn't tell me his name. But he told me he was a very pleasant, sympathetic person, who greeted him, welcomed him there.
Mr. Rankin. Did your husband say anything to you about what he meant when he said he could not take a chance on requesting a new visa unless he used a real name, so he returned to the United States?
Mrs. Oswald. No, he didn't tell me about it.
