Mr. Jesse Curry,
Chief of Police,
Dallas, Texas.
Dear Chief Curry:
Ee: Attested assassination of
General Edwin A. Walker, Dallas, Texas.
The following information was developed by this Service relative to
the attempted assassination of Retired General Edwin A* Walker, in Dallas,
Texas, on April 10, 1963.
On December 2, 19o3, there was received from-the Irving Police Depart-
ment, Irving, Texas, soma belongings of Mrs. Marina Oswald which had boon
brought to the PolicQ Station by Mrs* Ruth Paina with whom Mrs, Marina
Oswald had been living. When these articles were examined in the Secret
Service Office there was found in a book a note written in very poor Russian
which was in the handwriting of Leex Harvey Oswald and which apparently was
instructions to his wife what she should do in the event that he should be
alive and taken as a prisoner.
On December 3, 1963 Mrs. Marina Oswald was questioned about this note
by one of our special agents who speaks Russian and she stated that this note
had nothing to do with the assassination of President Kennedy and that the
note was written by her husband prior to his attempted assassination of
former General Walker, whom she classified as the head of the Fascist
Organisation in the United States and who lived in Dallas^ Texas, when they,
tho Orrwalds, lived on Iloely Street in Dallas; that the note, together with
a Post Office key was left on a dresser of their bedroom and after reading
the note she was afraid that her husband was planning on doing something
dreadful due to his hate for the Fascist Organizations and their beliefs.
She also stated that when her husband returned home late that night he was
very nervous and finally told her that he shot Walker with his rifle and
that it was best for everybody that he got rid hia.
Mrs. Oswald further stated that when it was learned the next day from
radios and newspapers that the rifle shot fired by an unknown person had
missed Walker that she decided to keep tho note as a threat against her hus-
band so that he would not mistreat her again (it was determined that when
the Oswalds lived on Neely Street that people living downstairs beneath the
Oswalds had complained to the landlord about Oswald beating his wife) which
he had promised not to do. She further commented that she did not report
this rnattor to the Police as she loved her husband and particularly that she
did not report it to the Police on account of their child. She stated,
