Mr. Liebeler. In this connection, I wanted to ask you whether you ever had any contact with any newspaper reporters from the Dallas newspapers about this, did they ask you about this at any time?
Mrs. Ford. About this I don't remember if they asked me. I don't remember. But a couple of reporters came to my house soon after the assassination and talked to me.
Mr. Liebeler. I represent to you that there was a story in the November 27, 1963, issue of the Dallas Times Herald which told about some Russian-born woman in Dallas to whom Marina had supposedly confided some of the most intimate secrets of her stormy marriage, in the words of the newspaper article. Do you have any knowledge whether that would be you or somebody else?
Mrs. Ford. I think that would be me.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you tell the reporters that Marina had told you that Marina had felt sorry for Oswald because everybody hated him even in Russia?
Mrs. Ford. Yes; I might have said that.
Mr. Liebeler. Marina did say that to you?
Mrs. Ford. Yes; she did.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Marina tell you anything at this time about their trip back to the United States and the difficulties that they encountered, or how they did it, that sort of thing?
Mrs. Ford. No; I never talked with her about that.
