Mr. Liebeler. Did you form an opinion of Oswald himself as a result of your acquaintance?
Mrs. Ray. Yes; I thought he was rather arrogant and I did not think he was even—I did not think him too intelligent and terribly unfriendly and very much of a loner. He did not seem to care for anybody. He did not talk to anybody. You get the impression he does not like you even though you did not do anything or speak two words to him.
Mr. Liebeler. Were you surprised when you heard he had been arrested in connection with the assassination?
Mrs. Ray. When I saw it on television, I almost fainted. I could not believe it. It was terrible surprise. My reaction is "My God, it's Lee Oswald" when I saw his picture. First I heard name; they said they suspected Lee Oswald and for moment, I could not connect name but I know I heard it some place and when I saw his picture, that is first I knew he was back in Dallas. I knew they moved to New Orleans. I had not heard they were back in Dallas. Of course, I immediately called Mrs. Ford and talked to her about that. I said, "Do you know it's Lee Oswald?" She said, "Yes; I know." I was terribly, terribly surprised it was him.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Mrs. Ford seem to be surprised?
Mrs. Ray. She was just as shocked as I was. I must say when I knew Lee he did not strike me as assassination type but then I knew him so shortly. It is not if I knew him for long time. I had no way form any kind of opinion what kind of person he was.
Mr. Liebeler. But he never struck you at that time as being dangerous or prone to violence?
Mrs. Ray. I thought he was just capable of striking his wife because he was striking his wife. I think I resented him from the first time when I heard he struck his wife. I resent any man, of course. I probably met him not liking him to start out with for that simple reason that he struck Marina.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you or your husband ever give any money to the Oswalds?
Mrs. Ray. No.
