Mr. Ray. I met them.
Mr. Liebeler. Will you tell us the circumstances surrounding your meeting them, where was it, what happened?
Mr. Ray. Well, do you want to start from the beginning?
Mr. Liebeler. Yes; just tell us the story in your own words as to how you came to meet the Oswalds and what happened, what the extent of your contact was.
Mr. Ray. Well, I tell you how it happened. This Ed Harris and his wife that live in Georgetown, his wife had seen a magazine article or something about my wife and had gotten in touch and they had gotten acquainted and they had visited us a time or two, you know, and, actually, we knew none of these people at the party before we came over here. We came and we met them over here.
Mr. Liebeler. At the party?
Mr. Ray. No; we met them at a hotel and went to the party with them.
Mr. Liebeler. Who were the people that you met?
