Mr. Rankin. Did he tell you why he didn't like her?
Mrs. Oswald. He considered her to be a stupid woman. Excuse me—these are not my words.
Mr. Rankin. Were you and Mrs. Paine good friends?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, so-so. I tried to help her as much as I could. But I also—I was—I did not like her too well. I also considered her not to be a very smart woman.
Mr. Rankin. I think it is about time for a recess, Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman. Very well. We will take a recess for 10 minutes.
(Brief recess.)
The Chairman. The Committee will be in order.
Mr. Rankin, you may continue.
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, did you discuss the Walker shooting with Mrs. Paine?
