United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. You were just telling the agent, you had told the agent,
had you not, that he came on weekends.
Mrs. PAINE. I did.
Mr. JENNER. And he arrived on Fridays?
Mrs. PAINE. I did.
Mr. JENNER. And this was a Friday?
Mrs. PAINE. It was, and you will recall yesterday----
Mr. JENNER. And you did tell the agent that?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. It had to have been that session. I know I certainly
told him, and it had to have been that time because the second meeting
was very brief and had only to do with the address.
Mr. JENNER. And that was not on a Friday?
Mrs. PAINE. No; it was not.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said about the agent remaining because Lee
Oswald would be along, he was expected?
Mrs. PAINE. No. May I interject here to recall to your mind that as I
looked through my calendar trying to find if there was any time, any
weekend other than the weekend of October 12, that Lee arrived on a
Saturday instead of a Friday, it had to be that weekend by deduction.
And I don't recall whether he arrived that Friday evening.
I do recall when he arrived we told him about this meeting and I gave
him the piece of paper on which I had written Mr. Hosty's name and the
normal telephone number for the FBI in Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. But you recall no conversation. May I suggest this to
you as possibly refreshing your recollection. That on that Friday
afternoon, which I may say to you now, Mrs. Paine, is reported by Agent
Hosty as having taken place on November 1, and he has made his report
accordingly, was there any discussion of a suggestion that Lee Oswald
would be out that weekend, that is either that you told him he would
not be or that he would be, that you would expect him?
Mrs. PAINE. My recollection is that I said he came out here on weekends
and he could be seen then.
Mr. JENNER. Go ahead.
Mrs. PAINE. And I have no recollection of ever thinking he was not
going to come that weekend.
Mr. JENNER. You have also testified that you were also advised in
advance when he was coming?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. He asked permission. So if he were coming on the 1st of
November, that very day, you would have been advised in advance that he
was coming, would you not, according to your testimony.
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I would think so.
Mr. JENNER. But you don't recall saying anything to Agent Hosty that he
was coming that evening, at least that you expected him to be there.
Mrs. PAINE. I may have. I don't specifically recall.
Mr. JENNER. But you do have a recollection that you told him at least
generally that Lee Oswald came to your home on weekends?
Mrs. PAINE. I feel certain of that.
Mr. JENNER. In any event, Agent Hosty did not remain?
Mrs. PAINE. He did not remain. I don't think it was very close to 5
when he left. It was earlier in the afternoon.
Mr. JENNER. You are inclined to think the interview took place earlier
in the afternoon, that is prior to 5 o'clock?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; more likely 2 to 3 or 3:30.
