looking. She described him as around 5'8" or 5'9" and medium build. She said she immediately recognized his picture on TV after the assassination and contacted the FBI. She said she has already talked to the FBI about this and also NED TOUCHSTONE. On showing her pictures, she could not identify anybody but LEE HARVEY OSWALD. She looked at the picture of THORNLEY and said that THORNLEY looks a lot like OSWALD but that his face is too thin. She definitely pickedout the picture of OSWALD as the one that came to her apartment and signed her name on the back of the picture. She said what she remembers most about his wife was that she was wearing maternity clothes and was pregnant and very big and she had straight dark hair and big, pale blue eyes. She said she did not ask many questions but that OSWALD just seemed to volunteer the statements that he made. She also asked if we had talked to a JOHN DALE TOWERS, an attorney from Clinton, Louisiana, who said that he had talked to Jim Garrison. TOWERS' address is 101 St. Ferdinand Street in Baton Rouge, phone No. 348-0950. I will check with the newspaper in Baton Rouge to get the exact dates that Mrs. MAGEE'S ad ran in the paper.
