Mr. Liebeler. In the rear of the other side of the house is a separate apartment numbered 4905 Magazine Street?
Mrs. Garner. Right.
Mr. Liebeler. Did there come a time in the spring of 1963 when you made the acquaintance of Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mrs. Garner. When I talked to them, or what?
Mr. Liebeler. Yes.
Mrs. Garner. Or when I rented him the place?
Mr. Liebeler. How did you first come in contact with him, and what was your conversation with him, and what was the result of the conversation you had?
Mrs. Garner. The only thing was when he come to rent the apartment, there was another lady that brought him but they were in the car, but I didn't notice the car. I didn't pay attention, and when she came to the door to ring the bell, she told me he was looking for an apartment and his mother and her was good friends, and she knew him from a baby. Little Lee she called him, and that she had two places, I don't remember exactly where she said—I think somewhere on Prythania, and he went there first and they never had nothing empty, and she took him riding and they saw my sign and stopped. I showed him the apartment, and she took him through it, and she said it was very nice. She looked at the screen porch and said it would be very nice for the baby. We stood on the screen porch, and he asked me did I have any table lamps, they didn't have any and his wife was going to come later, and we stood on the porch talking and she was telling me how long she knew him, since he was a little boy, and she was friends with his mother and he had gotten married overseas, and she hadn't met his wife and hadn't seen him for a long time, and that is when he took a picture out of his wallet and showed a picture of his wife and baby. Not the baby, I don't think he had a picture of the baby. Maybe he did, I don't remember. Well, I told him, I said, well, that is nice, overseas girls make nice wives at times, because I had one living upstairs not too long before that, and I said they were real nice. He said, "Yes, one thing, they don't give you no lip." I will never forget that. That is one thing he said, and that's all I can really remember he said, and he paid me the month's rent.
Mr. Liebeler. How much was that?
Mrs. Garner. $65.
