Mrs. Oswald. Yes; she invited me. I had become acquainted with her through some Russian friends of ours. We had visited with some people, and she was there. Inasmuch as she was studying Russian, she invited me to stay with her.
Mr. Rankin. Did you pay her anything for staying with her?
Mrs. Oswald. No, I only repaid her in the sense that I helped her in the household and that I gave her Russian language lessons. This, in her words, was the very best pay that I could give her. And she wanted that I remain with her longer.
But, of course, it was better for me to be with my husband.
Mr. Rankin. How did your husband let you know that he had found a job?
Mrs. Oswald. He telephoned me.
Mr. Rankin. Did you then leave at once for New Orleans?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And how did you get to New Orleans from Dallas?
Mrs. Oswald. Mrs. Paine took me there in her car. She took her children and my things and we went there.
