United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. During the slumber hours of your children?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Now you are certain in your own mind that you had no
interview or no FBI agent interviewed you prior to November 1?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. And if an FBI agent did interview you, you were not aware
that you were being interviewed?
Mrs. PAINE. That is absolutely correct.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have a recollection that on October 29, that would
be 2 days before the Friday session that you have testified about, that
some sales person or purporting to be a sales person or a drummer or
somebody came to your door and made some inquiries of you about the
Oswalds?
Mrs. PAINE. October 29 is a Tuesday. I don't recall any such encounter.
Written on my calendar is "Dal" for Dallas "Junie" meaning we went to a
clinic in Dallas in the morning. It doesn't say about the rest of the
day.
Mr. JENNER. Now when you reported to Lee Oswald the name of the agent
and the telephone number, you put that on a slip of paper.
Mrs. PAINE. I did.
Mr. JENNER. And handed the slip of paper to him?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I did.
Mr. JENNER. Was there any conversation between you then as to FBI
agents having at any time prior thereto interviewed Lee Oswald.
Mrs. PAINE. There may have been. I am certainly clear that I was told
probably by Marina that he had been interviewed, or by both of them,
that he had been interviewed in Fort Worth when they first returned
from the Soviet Union. This I knew before the time of the assassination.
Mr. JENNER. Did Marina say whether she had been interviewed in Fort
Worth?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. This was only that Lee Oswald had been interviewed at Fort
Worth?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But you recall no conversation in which either Lee or
Marina said or intimated to you that they had, either of them had been
interviewed either in New Orleans or in Dallas.
Mrs. PAINE. Nothing was mentioned of having been interviewed in New
Orleans or Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. You made some reference yesterday, and I want to keep it in
context, to the license number of the FBI agent.
Mrs. PAINE. Not in testimony. Did I?
Mr. JENNER. I thought you had.
Mrs. PAINE. Perhaps.
Mr. JENNER. It would be well if we went into that. Would you please
recite what that incident was?
Mrs. PAINE. I am confused by the question.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall the matter of the taking of the agent's
license number from his automobile?
Mrs. PAINE. I was told by Agent Hosty well after the assassination
that they had found in Oswald's room in Dallas a slip of paper which
included not only Hosty's name and the telephone number of the FBI in
Dallas, but also the license plate number with one letter incorrect,
one number incorrect, of the car that Hosty had driven out. This was
the first I had heard anything about their having been a license plate.
Mr. JENNER. You did not take----
Mrs. PAINE. Number taken down.
