Mr. Liebeler. Was this a window fan in Oswald's kitchen?
Mrs. Garner. It was in Oswald's kitchen, and he wanted to put the screen up and asked me was it all right to put the screen up, and asked me would I loan him a ladder and a hammer. The hooks belonged to the screen to hook the screen, they was off, but I loaned him two nails and told him to tack the screen on so far, so I could take the nails off, and that would be it, so his wife come outside in the meantime with the baby, and they was talking Russian and I couldn't understand what they were saying.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you know it was the Russian language then?
Mrs. Garner. No; I don't know. I just put two and two together when they come out with that Russian, but I knew she was Russian. He told me she was Russian when they came to rent the apartment. I don't know what made me say it, but I told him, I called him Lee, I said, "Lee, why don't you talk English to your little girl and your wife? That way she could learn to talk English, and when the little girl goes to school it wouldn't be as hard on her."
He said, "She has time enough to learn that," and he never had a nice word to say to me after that. I think that must have made him hate me or something like that, because he just passed me up all the time too, and never turned his head to look.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he get the screen back up?
Mrs. Garner. Yes; he tacked it back up, and I got my ladder and hammer back, and he never even said thank you or nothing.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you any specific reason why he didn't speak English to his wife and girl?
Mrs. Garner. No; that's all he said, they had plenty time enough for that, something like that.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever try to talk to Marina Oswald?
