Mr. Jenner. Were you and your family aware of Bouhe's efforts, if they were efforts, to collect clothing and otherwise be helpful to the Oswalds?
Mr. Mamantov. That's correct.
Mr. Jenner. You were aware of that?
Mr. Mamantov. Right.
Mr. Jenner. And was that in your opinion a good faith, charitable impulse on his part?
Mr. Mamantov. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. You think it might have been ulterior?
Mr. Mamantov. We objected immediately when we heard about this. We objected to every person who took Marina in their own house, in trying to collect money and clothing, and this supposedly happened after her husband beat her up.
Mr. Jenner. When there went through the Russian community a report that Lee Oswald had inflicted physical violence on Marina, then the community objected to assistance being afforded the Oswalds?
Mr. Mamantov. I don't know—I think they were especially helping her, after they left Fort Worth, and they had domestic disagreements. Supposedly, she was attacked by him—then the Russian community here in Dallas tried to help her by taking her into the houses or collecting money and collecting clothing and stuff like that, so I opposed this more and more violently.
