Mr. Liebeler. Do you know whether Oswald drank at all?
Mrs. Ray. When he came over my husband and I sit down and had a drink. I asked him if he would like to have something. He said "Thank you, I don't drink," so I don't know whether it was just that day or period but from the way he said it, I got the impression he did not drink because he would have said I don't care for any today or something.
Mr. Liebeler. Can you remember anything more about the conversation that occurred that first Sunday when Oswald came over?
Mrs. Ray. No; I don't think so; all was small talk. We talked about my cat, how children behaved, things that had no meaning, just to keeping the conversation going and he was so hard to talk to, why, I could not find anything he was interested in and I did not know him well enough to discuss anything else.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Marina tell you anything about her background in Russia, where she was born, where she was raised?
Mrs. Ray. Sir, I don't know who told me that; it is so hard to remember where I got the information from. I understand that she was raised by her mother until mother die and she lived either with grandmother or aunt, I am not sure. I think it is an aunt she said that raised her and the first time—like I said, information was from everybody; it gets to so and so and by that time, it got to me—first I heard about was she was only child and later on I found out she has sister and brother in Russia.
Mr. Liebeler. She told you that?
Mrs. Ray. Yes; she did; she has sister in Russia.
Mr. Liebeler. When did Marina tell you that?
Mrs. Ray. This was about 2 weeks ago when I visited her but from what I understood before, she was only child. After her mother died she lived with her aunt. Now, I don't know if Marina told me that or I got that information from Mrs. Ford or some of the other people that I know.
