Mr. Liebeler. That is something you read in the paper after the assassination, isn't that right?

Mrs. Hall. No; I think it was in the paper at that time.

Mr. Liebeler. When they came back from Russia?

Mrs. Hall. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. Do you recall any conversations with any of your Russian friends that you had, or anybody else, about this question of Oswald's return to the United States and the fact that Marina was permitted to leave Russia and come with him? I don't want you to remember anything that didn't happen, but if you do have a recollection of it, I would like to have it.

Mrs. Hall. Well, I think I talked with Mrs. Clark about that, and we thought it strange how come they let Marina come, so that was all.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever have any discussions with any of these people before the assassination as to whether or not Oswald might be a Russian agent?

Mrs. Hall. No.

Mr. Liebeler. Did it ever occur to you prior to the assassination that Oswald might be a Russian agent?

Mrs. Hall. I really don't know. It is such a hard question. Only one thing I could tell, that he was such a quiet and such a—I don't know how to express myself—person, that I never thought he could do something like that.
