Mrs. Oswald. No.

Senator Russell. Did he ever strike you during your pregnancy, when you were pregnant?*

Mrs. Oswald. Yes.

Mr. Gopadze. She said, "I think." She said, "I think."

*Mrs. Oswald. Yes; he did strike me.

Senator Russell. What reason did he give for striking you, usually?*

*Mrs. Oswald. Well, the reasons were if—they were very petty—I can't even remember what the reasons were after this quarrel was over. Sometimes he would tell me to shut up, and I don't take that from him.

**I'm not a very quiet woman myself.

Senator Russell. "I'm not—" what?

**Mrs. Oswald. I'm not a quiet woman myself and sometimes it gets on your nerves and you'll just tell him he's an idiot and he will become more angry with you.
