Did you ever become acquainted with or observe in your garage Lee Harvey Oswald?

Through conversations and Outdoor Life magazines in the office I have a coffee pot there, and a coffee table, and some chairs, and a magazine rack, where he frequent the magazines quite often and drank coffee. And I have a coke machine there.

Did this fellow, did you tell us what his name was?

All I knew him was as "Lee."

Just Lee?

Yes.

I understand that you are a gun enthusiast, is that correct?

That is correct.

And that you kept in your office in the garage various magazines relating to outdoor life and guns?

Yes.

Did Oswald ever discuss guns with you?

Yes, he did.

Can you tell us what he said, and what you said on the subject?

He pursued the issue of ordering guns, and how many guns had I ever ordered, and how long did it take to get them, and where had I ordered guns from----

Go ahead. What did you tell him? Just tell us the conversation that you had with him.

I told him that I had a gun on' order at the present time, a U.S. .3 caliber carbine, and he asked had I received the gun, on several occasions, after that. "I told him no at I hadn't. And he ask me Would I consider selling him the gun and when I got it. I told him no.

Was there anything peculiar about this particular rifle that made Oswald want it? Or why did he want you to sell this rifle? Do you know?

He told me he had a couple of guns, and he would like to have the carbine. He was familiar with the carbine from the service, I believe.

And this was the regular M-1 carbine?

Regular M-1 carbine, yes.
