Mr. Liebeler. How did you come to go back to Lee, and that was when he came out to Anna Ray's and met you there?

Mrs. Oswald. He telephoned me several times begging me to return and he came to Anna Ray's and he cried and you know a woman's heart—I went back to him. He said he didn't care to live if I did not return.

Mr. Liebeler. Who paid the taxi fare when you went over to Anna Meller's the first time?

*Mrs. Oswald. The first time—Anna Meller.

Mr. Liebeler. The Commission has been advised that some time in the spring of 1963, you, yourself, either threatened to or actually tried to commit suicide. Can you tell us about that?

Mrs. Oswald. Do I have the right now not to discuss that?

Mr. Liebeler. If you don't want to discuss that, certainly, but I really would like to have Lee's reaction to the whole thing. But if you don't want to tell us about it—all right.

Mrs. Oswald. At my attempt at suicide, Lee struck me in the face and told me to go to bed and that I should never attempt to do that—only foolish people would do it.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you tell him that you were going to do it, or did you actually try?

Mrs. Oswald. No; I didn't tell him, but I tried.
