Mr. Ford. Right.
Mr. Liebeler. And did you take that information, would you take that, into consideration in the judgment that you just expressed?
Mr. Ford. No; I don't think so. I think man and wife can fight over a lot of things and it isn't necessary that either one of them would intend to kill somebody. He might become violent toward his wife, who is a much smaller and weaker person but he never impressed me as the type of person who would violently attack another man, for example.
Mr. Ford. When did you first hear that Lee Oswald was held by the authorities?
Mr. Ford. It was the afternoon of the assassination, I heard on the radio.
Mr. Liebeler. What was your reaction then?
Mr. Ford. Just what I said, my first reaction, "This idiot has gone down to get himself some attention and confuse the whole issue."
At that time I didn't know he was working in the School Book Depository Building.
Mr. Liebeler. What did you do subsequent to hearing this radio broadcast?
Mr. Ford. Let's see; I heard it in a hardware store and I went and picked up my wife who was shopping at the grocery store, picked her up, and told her what I had heard and we went home. I didn't do anything specifically that I can think of. I did not mention it to anybody.
