went through Page after Page of it could find Only a confusing pattern in this confused mans Oswald presented this picture Oswald was a great who sometimes read for hours in the bathroom so he  disturb his he was fond of his loved his Chil Dren very Oswald the sort of father who would change feed the baby and proudly Lake photo then there was the other of who hated his who sometimes sat in the dark fondling his who was secretive and who sometimes broke into who thought himself a great Man and would become a greater who argued frequently with his wife and occasionally hit who planned for two months to shoot former maj Gen Edwin in View of what happened just year ago in the Vio Lence of the Man is most inter Esling there is this picture of Oswald in new As described by Oswald i know that we had a kind of i porch with a screened in and i know that some times evenings after dark he would sit there with his i dont know what he did with i came there by Chance once and saw him just silting there with his his attempt to kill Walker was to  after carefully taking pictures of walkers Oswald made the attempt on the night of april 18 Here is Oswalds account when he he did not know whether he had hit Walker or he didst take the bus from he ran several kilo meters and then took the bus and he turned on the radio and but there were no re ports the next Day he bought a paper and there he read it was Only Chance that saved Walker s if he had not he have been did he comment on that a Oswald he said Only that he had taken very Good that it was just Chance that caused him to he was very sorry he had not hit she testified she told her Hus band that he had no right to kill people in he had no right to take their life because not everybody has the same Deas As he people cannot All Oswalds reply about she was that this was a very bad that he was a that he was the Leader of fascist when i said that even though All of that might be just he same he had no right to take us he said if someone had tilled Hitler in time it would have saved Many Oswalds attempt on walkers life was a secret that he and Marina shared until his but a George de Moh once made a remark n jest that scared them both a few Days after the Walker in the de Mohre schildts visited the Oswalds at their dal s Marina told the Warren com Mission that As soon As de Moh Ren Scheldt entered the he How is it possible that you missed the Oswalds they had promised each other they would Tell no said Marina i looked at i thought that he had told de Mohren schildts about and looked at me and he apparently thought that i had told de Mohren Scheldt about it was in the even ing but i noticed that his face hat he almost became Oswald was sure their visitor knew he simply made a joke and the joke happened to hit the she the Russia born Friend con firmed this later before the com As he recalled Marina pulled Oswalds Rifle out of a closet to show her so out of the really i told Are you then the Guy who took spot shot at general Walker i knew that Oswald Dis liked general you so i took a Chance and i asked him this you and i can clearly see his you know he sort of you see when i asked this question became tense and didst answer you know made a sarcastic sarcastic made a Peculiar de Mohren Scheldt added i was frankly a stupid joke on my Marina believed her husbands supposed threat to shoot former vice president Richard Nixon was a rather Nasty joke he was playing with according to her testimony on this in put a pistol in his pocket and said he was going out to see Nix on in i told him that i didst want him to use his gun any she said of the which came shortly after Oswalds at empt on the life of he i will go out and Lave a look and perhaps i wont use my but if there is a convenient Opportunity perhaps i strike perhaps please from that last Marina and Oswald did not leave the she told the Warren commis Sion at first he was extreme y and he you Are always getting in my at that time i didst give this any but now i think it was ust rather a kind of Nasty joke in was playing with some times Lee had a sadistic my husband had a sadistic Streak in him and he got pleas ure out of harming and it of harming not physically but emotionally and mental the Warren in its main report last noted that then vice president Lyndon not was in Texas when this incident allegedly took and said Marina May have misunderstood the it concluded the As described by Marina was of no probative value in the com missions decision concerning the identity of the Assassin of Presl Dent life could be tempestuous at the Oswald once left him for a and there was talk of a talk of her going Back to talk of his going to he was very Oswald sometimes for a for a trifling reason Lee was unrestrained and very explosive at that but if he had any particular animosity toward John Ken Oswald never showed it to his from Lees mrs Oswald told the 1 cannot conclude that he was against the and there fore the thing is incomprehensible to perhaps lie hid it from As for John Connally of critically wounded at the time Kennedy was killed there was this testimony your husband say any Hing to you to indicate he Nad a dislike for governor connally7 Oswald Here he didst say but while we Wen n Russia he spoke Well of it seems to me that Connally was running for governor and Lee said that when we would return to the United states he would vote for then came and when Oswald heard Ken Nedy had been i went to my room and the next Day she visited her husband at the police he said that i should not that everything would turn out but i could see by his eyes he was he red to be by ils eyes i could Tell he was afraid he said Goodby to me with his i knew he said that everything would turn out but he did not believe himself i saw it in his that was on the Day before Oswald was killed by Jack throughout their Stormy mar Marina she never suspected her husband wanted to kill Kennedy even at the last she told of the horror of hear ing the news on she was at the Home of her Ruth in suburban watching televised Broad casts of the presidents it was hard for me to say we both turned i went to my roam and cried Paine called by the they fired from the building in which Lee is my heart dropped said i then went to the garage to see whether the Rifle was and i saw that the Blanket was still and i thank i can there really be such a stupid Man in the world that could do something like that but i was already rather upset at that time dont know perhaps my intuition then the police arrived and asked whether my husband had a and i said they began to search the when they came to the garage and took the i they will find they opened the Blanket but there was no Rifle of i knew that it was Oswalds Young wife was the commissions first witness last she said that at firs she did not believe her husband was Kennedy but the evidence piled from everything that i know about my and of the events that i can con clude that he wanted in any whether Good or to or some thing that would make him out that he would be known in months in Marina told the commission that although she had no doubt that Ler husband killed she believed he actually was aiming at who was in the same she recalled a letter Oswald wrote Connally from Russia pro testing his undesirable discharge from the Marine Marina said her husband never expressed an opinion about Ken favourable or although once he spoke of the presidents who made his Fortune by a not a not very Good she said of Oswalds remarks disposing of such of it it was easier for his the elder Kennedy sons to obtain an education and to obtain a government and it was easier to make a name for them Oswald wanted to make a name for and Marina said she found it All a bit at least in Lees from Lees behaviour i cannot con clude that he was against the and therefore the thing is incomprehensible to perhaps he hid it from i dont re sold that after 20 years he would be prime minis i think that he had a sick least at that time i already considered him to be not quite but at i always tried to Point out to him that he was Man like any others who were around but he simply could not understand what about him did she con Sider she was at least his his which was quite unas to the fact that he was an outstanding and then the fact that he was very much exceedingly in autobiographical works of out standing statesmen of the United Stales and the word foolish came up repeatedly in marinas discussion of her husbands like his thought of hijacking an Airliner to get to even if he got to she he would not have liked it Only on the staying want secret service chief says Washington up i dont believe they could have prevented the that is How secret service chief James Rowley summed up the performance of his agents in the fateful Days leading up to the shooting of John Kennedy in Dallas the Warren commission eventually accepted but not before chief Justice Earl Warren and other commission members had questioned him closely about several agents who had been drinking the night before the Assassin Warren was particularly inter ested in whether the agents performance was affected by the fact that 10 of them were at a beatnik place until 3 or 4 the morning of the assassination and others Hud some drinks in the fort Worth press club in testimony made Public by the Rowley said nine agents were involved at More Alert if they had not been drinking and had gone sir but i dont believe they could have prevented the As press club and that had one and other As counsel Lee bad two or three the secret service chief said none of the men involved was although they violated a regulation which Calls for i Felt that these by their had no bearing on the assassination of the president in Rowley that to Institute formal punishment or disciplinary action would inevitably Lead the Public to conclude that they were responsible for the assassination of president i did not think in the along even some people in the saw a Man with a Rifle up in this building from which the president was the chief Justice dont you think if a Man went to bed reasonably and haunt been drinking the night he would be More Alert to see those things As a secret service than if he stayed up until i or 5 Oclock in the going to beatnik joints and doing some drinking along the Way Rowley agreed that should be but he pointed out questioned Rowley closely on How us secret service identifies persons who might be dangerous to the presidents How it makes Advance preparations for a presidential trip and what was being done to improve Rowley said his had identified 400 persons As potential presidential threats at the time of the at the time he Rowley the secret service had reports on members of the communist party and was broadening other of history that they should often have to get by of stigmatized with something sleep in the line of if any special Pecau or their families or Warren continued to had been taken As a result whether the agents the rough treatment am Warren pressed Rowley As been Rowley Adlai Stevenson had whether the agents might in Rowley said when the Advance Man came that was one of the things that we assigned a local agent to inquire to ascertain the hard Core of that they had photographs and they issued them to the agents on their visit to be on the Lookout Tor these men As potential but special agent boy Kel in another Section of the said he had been told about no one except a group that planned to picket at one of the stops involved in the Keller Man was in charge of the secret service detail guarding i recall that it did seem strange that Here we Are hitting five cities in one and from the apparent trouble ambassador Stevenson had Down there one evening we certainly should Hutu had some information on
