Friends, I invite you to read this closing portion of Ms Reid's WC testimony carefully. It's truly bizarre---------------------

Mr. DULLES. Yes. Attorney General Carr, do you have any questions?
Mr. CARR. Mrs. Reid, have you had occasion to visit with any of Oswald's relatives, his wife or mother?
Mrs. REID. No.
Mr. CARR. Have they been in there since that date to look over the premises?
Mrs. REID. His mother has been but I didn't see her. She didn't go any further than the first floor I understand, but I have never seen her other than these pictures.
Mr. DULLES. Is it usual for the employees of the depository to have friends visit them during office hours or would that be an unusual practice?
Mrs. REID. No; that would not be unusual. Family or somebody wanted to drop by to see you they never have objected to that.
Mr. BELIN. I think the record should show we are offering in evidence this morning, Mr. Dulles, Commission Exhibit 507 which is the diagram of the seventh floor which Officer Baker testified to.
Mr. DULLES. You want that admitted now?
Mr. BELIN. We want that admitted now.
Mr. DULLES. No objection. It will be admitted.
(The diagram referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 507 for identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. BELIN. I think those are all the questions we have of Mrs. Reid.
We want to thank you very much for your cooperation in coming up here, Mrs. Reid.
Mrs. REID. Thank you.
Mr. DULLES. Thank you very much, Mrs. Reid.
I will tell the Chief Justice of your cooperation and helpfulness. We will reconvene at 2:30.
(Whereupon, at 12:35 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.)

What the hell just happened?

Well what the hell does Mrs Reid have to do with the SEVENTH  floor??

Nothing-----------and that's the point.

Attorney General Carr must have a reason for asking Ms Reid whether she has had communication post-assassination with either Ms Marina Oswald or Ms Marguerite Oswald. That's interesting. But what is MOST interesting is the speed with which Mr Dulles and Mr Belin close the line of questioning down
-------------------> Mr Dulles asks a question blatantly designed to lead the discussion off topic
-------------------> Mr Belin then helps him out by a) bringing up a piece of procedural nonsense from Officer Baker's testimony, b) announcing peremptorily that the questioning of Ms Reid is done with

What is it about Attorney General Carr's line of questioning that has them so worried?

It definitely has the smell of a tag-team effort by Belin and Dulles to shut that line of questioning down.
Carr only asks a couple of questions before they side-line him.
Why would Carr suspect that Reid somehow knew the Oswalds personally? There is nothing I can see in Reid's testimony that would even hint at that.
Time for some wild speculation
