Mr. Rankin. Did he describe that idea to you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And when he told you of it, did he indicate that he wanted to be the one that would kidnap the airplane himself?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, he wanted to do that. And he asked me that I should help him with that. But I told him I would not touch that rifle.
This sounds very merry, but I am very much ashamed of it.
Mr. Rankin. Did you tell him that using the rifle in this way, talking about it, was not in accordance with his agreement with you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. What did he say about that?
Mrs. Oswald. He said that everything would go well. He was very self-reliant—if I didn't want to.
Mr. Rankin. Was there any talk of divorce during this period?
