Mrs. Ford. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he indicate what attitude the Russian authorities took when he told them he wanted to come back to the United States?
Mrs. Ford. No; I don't know. He didn't say anything. I don't remember discussing it.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he say anything about the attitude they took toward letting Marina leave Russia and coming to the United States?
Mrs. Ford. I don't believe anything was said about that.
Mr. Liebeler. Is there anything else you can remember about that luncheon now you think we ought to know about?
Mrs. Ford. Well, I am thinking, I really don't think I remember anything else.
Mr. Liebeler. What was the next contact then that you had with the Oswalds?
Mrs. Ford. I think it must have been at—in late October or the first part of November when Mr. Bouhe called me and said that Marina made a call to Anna Meller and told her she is leaving her husband because of she can't stand the beating and treatment any longer from Lee Oswald, but none of us knew at the moment that he had mistreated her that way, but at the time at the party I remember seeing Marina with bruises on her face and she made excuses of running into a door or something at the night when attending the baby.
Mr. Liebeler. This was the first time you saw her?
