He was questioning Oswald as to the whole pattern, the whole system of government, the way it was really operated, as to the communistic principles and how jobs were secured and how people lived, and so forth.
This was about all that was said there.
Mr. Liebeler. Did the question come up as to why Oswald went to Russia in the first place?
Mr. Hall. Not then. At this time I just ran out and ate soup, and they were still in conversation when I left to go back to the hospital, so I only stayed possibly an hour. Maybe 45 minutes.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you discuss with Oswald, or ever participate in a discussion in which the question as to why he went to Russia came up?
Mr. Hall. Just generally. The next time I saw Oswald after—this was the car wreck; then my wife and I went to New York, and then we came back and we remarried November 17, I believe—we didn't see Oswald again until Christmas when my wife fixed a little present, I think, for the baby and we came to Dallas, and we had been to church, it seems like. I think we spent the night at the Cabana Motel and went to church at the Greek Orthodox Church, St. Stephens, and then visited them on Sunday afternoon.
Wait a minute, no, I am talking about Christmas. That would have been during the week—anyway, we came over and visited them at Christmas time and brought the little baby girl, June, a Christmas present.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember where Oswald lived then?
Mr. Hall. Yes; over in Oak Cliff at the first location in Oak Cliff, Elsbeth Street. I believe it was on the corner in the red apartments.
Mr. Liebeler. At that time did you discuss with them the reasons as to why he went to Russia?
