Mrs. Oswald. It would be unpleasant and incomprehensible to any wife if her husband used a fictitious name. And then, of course, I thought that if he would see that I don't like it and that I explained to him that this is not the smart thing to do, that he would stop doing it.
Mr. Rankin. Did you feel that you were becoming more impatient with all of these things that your husband was doing, the Fair Play for Cuba and the Walker incident, and then this fictitious name business?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, of course. I was tired of it.
Every day I was waiting for some kind of a new surprise. I couldn't wait to find out what else would he think of.
Mr. Rankin. Did you discuss that with your husband at all?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, of course.
Mr. Rankin. What did you say about that?
Mrs. Oswald. I said that no one needed anything like that, that for no reason at all he was thinking that he was not like other people, that he was more important.
Mr. Rankin. And what did he say?
Mrs. Oswald. He would seem to agree, but then would continue again in two or three days.
