Mr. Rankin. Was that in the weekend of October 25th?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, probably. This was not Lee's birthday. It was the week after that, the following Friday.
Mr. Rankin. Now, on October 26th, Saturday, was your husband with you all day?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. All day. Whenever he came, he never went anywhere else.
Mr. Rankin. We had some information that a telescopic sight was fitted to a gun for your husband on that date, and that is why I am asking you if there was any time that he could have left to have that done.
Mrs. Oswald. How is it about the telescope? He always had the telescope. Were there two?
Mr. Rankin. We are trying to find out.
Someone says that they mounted a sight.
Mrs. Oswald. This is not the truth, if they say that. Simply people talking. Perhaps someone who looked like Lee.
Mr. Rankin. Someone may be mistaken and thought that he had mounted a telescopic sight when he did it for someone else. And that is why we want to check with you.
