Mrs. Oswald Hits Quotes
Attributed to Son's Widow
BY JON McCONAL
Mrs. Marguerite Oswald an-
grily denounced Wednesday a
statement that her daughter-in-
law had accepted as fact the
evidence that her husband, Lee
Harvey Oswald, had killed Pres-
ident Kennedy.
The elder Mrs. Oswald, moth-
er of the accused assassin, de-
manded to know the where-
abouts of the younger woman.
"I don't believe this statement
came from Marina," said Mrs.
Oswald.
"If she did make such a state-
ment, she made it out of confu-
sion or under the influence of
someone else."
Oswald's Russian - born wife
was quoted by James H. Mar-
tin, her business adviser, in a
wire service story Wednesday
as having accepted the evidence
detailed by police as valid.
Martin was quoted as saying
Oswald's erratic behavior made
it possible for his widow to ac-
cept shortly after the assassina-
tion the 'view that her husband
had killed Kennedy.
"That man doesn't have any
right to quote my daughter-in-
law," Mrs. Oswald said. "A
statement such as this should
come from her attorney or from
the Secret Service."
The younger Mrs. Oswald has
been in seclusion, under pro-
tection of the Secret Service,
since the assassination.
Her husband was fatally shot
Nov. 24 as he was being trans-
ferred to Dallas County jail.
The mother-in-law, who has
moved back to her small du-
plex apartment on the West
Side, said Marina has been in
seclusion with the federal offi-
cers too long.
"She is brooding and think-
ing about things," Mrs. Oswald
said. "She doesn't know our
ways, and I can't believe she
would say something like this
which will hurt her and her
family."
Mrs. Oswald, who has stoutly
denied her son's guilt, said when
she left Marina Thanksgiving
Day, both thought Lee,was not
guilty.
Mrs. Oswald said she was
"angered and grieved" that she
had not been able to see her
daughter-in-law in nearly two
months.
"Nobody will tell me where
she is," she said. "I sat in my
apartment and cried on Christ-
mas Day because I couldn't see
and be with her."
She said she had asked the
Secret Service about Marina's
whereabouts and was told that
she and her children were fine.
She said they refused to dis-
close her whereabouts.
Mrs. Oswald said her son,
Robert Oswald of Denton, had
been to see Marina.
"Even he will not tell me
where she is," Mrs. Oswald said.
"But, he is not the head of the
family. I'm the head of the Os-
wald family and I demand to
know where my daughter-in-law
and grandchildren are."
Mrs. Oswald said she and
Marina originally had planned
to take the money from an in-
surance policy that Mrs. Os-
wald had on Lee and make a
new start.
