Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever form an opinion about Oswald during the time that you knew him, based on your acquaintance with him and the times that you saw him?
Mr. Hall. Well, the first time we met him of course we all thought he was so-called egghead, or whatever words you want to use.
And I am sure that if it hadn't been for the fact that we had feelings for his wife, we felt sorry for them because some friends of ours gave my wife some clothes to give to Marina, and, of course, wanted to help her.
Mr. Liebeler. Who were they?
Mr. Hall. Mrs. I. J. Flere. She gave some clothes, and I don't know, I think there were several people. My wife would know.
Mr. Liebeler. Gave clothes to Marina?
Mr. Hall. Yes; as well as George Bouhe. I think he gave $10 or $15 to my wife to buy some groceries for her and these things happen where people contributed to help. But I think I formed an opinion of him the first 5 minutes I met him when he came back from town with this magazine, because I couldn't figure wasting the money on literature. I had a definite opinion, and it got worse and worse, and the only reason we went back Christmas and Easter was because the baby, Elena wanted to take her an Easter bunny.
Mr. Liebeler. You didn't as of then like Oswald particularly?
Mr. Hall. No; I didn't.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you think he was mentally unstable in any way?
