Mrs. Oswald. I told him that it is best not to have this kind of stuff in the house—this book.

Mr. Liebeler. When did you tell him that?

Mrs. Oswald. At the time he was destroying it—he showed me this book after this attempt on Walker's life, and I suggested to him that it would be awfully bad to keep a thing like that in the house.

Mr. Liebeler. When did he first show it to you?

Mrs. Oswald. Three days after the attempt—3 days after this attempt, he took the rifle from the house, took it somewhere and buried it.

Mr. Liebeler. Three days after the attempt?

Mrs. Oswald. Yes, yes.

Mr. Liebeler. So that he actually took the rifle out of the house and took it away and hid it somewhere?

*Mrs. Oswald. Yes.

Mrs. Oswald. No; the day Lee shot at Walker, he buried the rifle because when he came home and told me that he shot at General Walker and I asked him where the rifle was and he said he buried it.
