Mr. Rankin. When the police came, did Mrs. Paine act as an interpreter for you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. She told me about what they had said. But I was not being questioned so that she would interpret. She told me herself. She very much loved to talk and she welcomed the occasion.
Mr. Rankin. You mean by that that she answered questions of the police and then told you what she had said?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And what did she tell you that she had said to the police?
Mrs. Oswald. She talked to them in the usual manner, in English, when they were addressing her.
But when they addressed me, she was interpreting.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall the exact time of the day that you discovered the wedding ring there at the house?
Mrs. Oswald. About 2 o'clock, I think. I don't remember. Then everything got mixed up, all time.
Mr. Rankin. Did the police spend considerable time there?
