Mr. Rankin. As far as you recall he did not have two bags that he brought back with him from Mexico?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. Did he spend the first weekend of October 4 to 6 with you at the Paines?
Mrs. Oswald. No, not the whole weekend. When he returned he stayed overnight and then he went to Dallas. But he returned on Saturday or Friday evening. And he remained until Monday.
Mr. Rankin. Did you notice any change in your husband after this trip to Mexico?
Mrs. Oswald. In my opinion, he was disappointed at not being able to get to Cuba, and he didn't have any great desire to do so any more because he had run into, as he himself said—into bureaucracy and red tape. And he changed for the better. He began to treat me better.
Mr. Rankin. Will you tell us how he treated you better?
Mrs. Oswald. He helped me more—although he always did help. But he was more attentive. Perhaps this was because he didn't live together with me but stayed in Dallas. Perhaps, also because we expected a child and he was in somewhat an elated mood.
Mr. Rankin. Did your husband have any money with him when he returned from Mexico?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, he had some left. But I never counted how much money he had in his wallet. That is why I don't know.
