Mr. Liebeler. To your knowledge, has Marina expressed any feeling about Oswald's guilt while she lived with you or while you were acquainted with her after the assassination, other than the fact he was guilty?
Mr. Ford. No; so far as I know she just accepts the fact he was guilty. He was the man who shot the President. And she believes this is true.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever discuss this question with Robert Oswald?
Mr. Ford. No, not specifically, I didn't. I never asked Robert Oswald if he believed that his brother shot the President.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald ever indicate to you that he did not believe that?
Mr. Ford. Not directly. The only thing that might have indicated it was when Life published a picture of Lee Oswald on the front cover and I read a newspaper article which stated that Mrs. Marguerite Oswald was intending to sue Life Magazine and I wondered why, was the picture faked, and Robert Oswald said no it was a true picture of Lee Oswald but the title of the picture, that is what he was upset about, and I think the title was Lee Oswald holding the gun he either used to shoot or used to kill the President, and I didn't pursue the subject further with him.
I don't know specifically what he was upset about, if he thought his brother did shoot the President. There was nothing wrong with the statement except he may not have liked it in print.
Mr. Liebeler. That was the only statement Robert Oswald made to you about the subject.
Mr. Ford. But he never said he didn't believe his brother did it.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you have any other reasons for thinking that Oswald is the kind of person who would claim to do something that he hadn't done just to get attention drawn to him?
