Mr. Rankin. When you lived in New Orleans and after your husband lost his job, did he stay away from home in the evenings much?*

*Mrs. Oswald. He was not at home during the day time, but he was at home most of the time in the evenings.

Mr. Rankin. And by being at home in the evenings, what time do you mean—from 6 o'clock on, or 7 o'clock, or what time?*

*Mrs. Oswald. After 7.

Mr. Rankin. Did he ever show signs of having been drinking or being drunk when he came home?*

*Mrs. Oswald. Never.

Mr. Rankin. Did he ever talk about having seen some friends or some Cubans or Mexicans in the bar or some bar in New Orleans?* **

*Mrs. Oswald. No; it's strange for me to hear that Lee visited bars or that he drank.

Mr. Rankin. Did you know of his drinking at all in New Orleans?*

*Mrs. Oswald. I never did.
