Mr. Liebeler. Oswald said to the assembled group at that time that he had been to a meeting 2 days prior at which General Walker was present?
Mr. Krystinik. I think it was 2 days prior.
Mr. Liebeler. That meeting would have been just the night before Mr. Stevenson came to Dallas?
Mr. Krystinik. Yes, sir; I think, or it could have been the same night. I don't remember the exact date.
Mr. Liebeler. What did Oswald say about General Walker?
Mr. Krystinik. That was it. That was his comment about Walker, and it struck me at the time. I mean my ears perked up when he said Walker was anti-Catholic in reference to his comments about the Pope. I can quote that. That is exact. I am Catholic and I wanted to hear what he said. He didn't say what General Walker had said.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he indicate any hostility toward General Walker either by words or by his deeds?
Mr. Krystinik. At the time it seemed like Michael had commented to me prior that the man was a Marxist, and I have never met anyone before that I had known to be a Communist or a Marxist or Leninist or Red, and I was interested mainly to see what the man looked like, how he thought and what he felt. It seemed to me, in watching and listening to him, that rather than being violently against General Walker, he was stirring in dirty thoughts that you shouldn't like General Walker. He didn't say General Walker is a bad guy. He just made comments that General Walker is anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic, and he was spreading a little seed of thought. That was the way it impressed me.
Mr. Liebeler. You didn't get the feeling that Oswald had any particular violent thoughts towards General Walker?
Mr. Krystinik. I didn't at this time. I had no idea he was violent until I heard on the radio he had shot the President.
