Mr. Rankin. After he got his job, did he return the next weekend to see you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Do you remember whether that time he returned was on Friday or Saturday?
Mrs. Oswald. It was on Friday, October 18. It was his birthday.
He stopped with Ruth. On Sunday I went to the hospital, and he stayed overnight from Monday until Tuesday.
Mr. Rankin. After your husband returned from Mexico, did you examine the rifle in the garage at any time?
Mrs. Oswald. I had never examined the rifle in the garage. It was wrapped in a blanket and was lying on the floor.
Mr. Rankin. Did you ever check to see whether the rifle was in the blanket?
Mrs. Oswald. I never checked to see that. There was only once that I was interested in finding out what was in that blanket, and I saw that it was a rifle.
Mr. Rankin. When was that?
