Mr. Liebeler. Who told you that?

Mrs. Ford. I think George Bouhe again. He always spoke to everybody.

Mr. Liebeler. What did Mr. Bouhe say about that?

Mrs. Ford. Well, he said something that I asked Marina afterward and she told me that it wasn't true. He said that Lee talked to that Japanese girl like a—it is an expression in Russia to take a bath and then beat themselves with the leaves from a tree, and the leaf would stick to the body, in the wintertime, and so the expression from that, like a leaf sticks to the hot body when you take a bath, you know. Then I suppose Lee struck her as just not saying anything—and I asked Marina and she said he did not do it.

Mr. Liebeler. Was there any talk at the party about Oswald's experiences in Russia or his marriage to Marina?

Mrs. Ford. During the party?

Mr. Liebeler. Yes.

Mrs. Ford. No; I didn't talk to him at all.

Mr. Liebeler. And you didn't overhear anybody else talking about Oswald's experiences in Russia?

Mrs. Ford. No.
