Mr. Stuckey. He was relaxed, he was friendly. He seemed to be relieved it was all over. My impression was he was relieved that he did not have to hide the bit about the Russian residence any more, and that it had been a strain doing so, because his manner was completely different. There wasn't the stiffness or the guarded words and guarded replies. He seemed fairly open, and I have no reason to believe that everything he told me that night was not true. I think it was true.
Mr. Jenner. Was there any difference in his attitude or demeanor with respect to personal self-confidence, for example, in that Saturday interview at his home and your interview with him prior to the Monday night broadcast, taking that as a base, and comparing it with his attitude in Comeaux's Bar after you had revealed the fact that he had been in Russia and had attempted to defect?
Mr. Stuckey. Well, there wasn't any change. He was pretty consistent in his behavior from the very first time I met him until Comeaux's Bar, so this was the only notable change I observed. The manner was always guarded, even from the very first when he came out on his porch on August 17 in his dungarees, his manner was guarded.
Mr. Jenner. Was it guarded in Comeaux's?
Mr. Stuckey. No; it was not.
Mr. Jenner. This was much more relaxed?
Mr. Stuckey. Considerably.
Mr. Jenner. Following that tete-a-tete in Comeaux's Bar for about an hour, did you ever see Oswald after that?
Mr. Stuckey. That was the last time I ever saw him.
Mr. Jenner. When was the next time you heard of Oswald?
