Mr. Rankin. How did you learn that?
Mrs. Oswald. When he was interviewed by some anti-Cubans, he used this name and spoke of an organization. I knew there was no such organization. And I know that Hidell is merely an altered Fidel, and I laughed at such foolishness. My imagination didn't work that way.
Mr. Rankin. Did you say anything to him about it at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. I said that it wasn't a nice thing to do and some day it would be discovered anyhow.
Mr. Rankin. Now, the weekend of November 15th to 17th, which was the weekend before the assassination, do you know what your husband did or how he spent that weekend while he was in Dallas?
Mrs. Oswald. No, I don't.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether he took the rifle before he went into Dallas, that trip, for that weekend?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know. I think that he took the rifle on Thursday when he came the next time, but I didn't see him take it. I assume that. I cannot know it.
Mr. Rankin. Except for the time in New Orleans that you described, and the time you called to Dallas to ask for your husband, do you know of any other time your husband was using an assumed name?
Mrs. Oswald. No, no more.
