Mrs. Oswald. Nothing else. He didn't tell me anything else. He talked to Ruth a few words. Perhaps she knows more.
Mr. Rankin. By Ruth, you mean Mrs. Paine?
Mrs. Oswald. They spoke in English.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And did Mrs. Paine tell you what he said to her at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall your husband saying at any time after he saw the film about the Cuban assassination that this was the old-fashioned way of assassination?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall anything being said by your husband at any time about Governor Connally?
Mrs. Oswald. Well, while we were still in Russia, and Connally at that time was Secretary of the Navy, Lee wrote him a letter in which he asked Connally to help him obtain a good character reference because at the end of his Army service he had a good characteristic—honorable discharge—but that it had been changed after it became known he had gone to Russia.
