United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. You did not drive him all the way into downtown Dallas?
Mrs. PAINE. No; I don't believe so.
Mr. JENNER. Marina has testified, or at least when interviewed by the
FBI stated, that you did drive Lee to downtown Dallas.
Mrs. PAINE. I have given you all my recollections on this matter,
haven't I, for the record?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. PAINE. With----
Mr. JENNER. Even after further reflection last night your recollection
is as you have already stated?
Mrs. PAINE. That there was an occasion that we were going in with a
Russian typewriter on an errand of mine to get that fixed, and I drove
him to Ross Street and some crossroad, and he said was near to the
employment office.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
What occasion was this?
Mrs. PAINE. What day?
Mr. JENNER. Day, yes; please?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall but I would be fairly certain it was a
Monday.
Mr. JENNER. And had he been out at your home over the weekend?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; that is my best recollection.
Mr. JENNER. Was it after he had become employed with the Book
Depository?
Mrs. PAINE. No; he was on his way to the employment office. This was
his purpose.
Mr. JENNER. So it was sometime prior to the weekend, was it, that the
matter of employment by the Texas Book Depository had arisen?
Mrs. PAINE. I would judge that it has to have been on the 14th, which
was Monday prior and indeed morning prior to the conversation at Mrs.
Roberts about this.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Mrs. PAINE. But I may be wrong about that, but it is my best
recollection.
Mr. JENNER. Did the conversation at Mrs. Roberts take place on the 15th
of October?
Mrs. PAINE. No; on the 14th.
Mr. JENNER. On the 14th. That was what day of the week?
Mrs. PAINE. Monday.
Mr. JENNER. Did you drive him into Dallas on that day?
Mrs. PAINE. I can't think when else it could have been.
Mr. JENNER. And to the best of your recollection that is probably the
day then?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Did you indicate--did Marina accompany you?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did she or you indicate any interest in driving by and
seeing his apartment or room?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Was there any discussion at any time, Mrs. Paine, in your
home or otherwise, with Marina or with Lee, as to the appearance of
his rooming house, curtains flooring, what it was like?
Mrs. PAINE. The only thing I recall is that he described it as more
comfortable than the $7 room he had occupied, told me the cost of it,
said that he could watch television and had privileges to use the
refrigerator.
Mr. JENNER. But other than that he didn't describe it?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Was there ever any discussion of any need on his part for
curtains, that he liked to brighten up his room or in any respect, any
additional appointments?
Mrs. PAINE. There was no such conversation at any time.
Mr. JENNER. You are acquainted with Dr. Froelich Rainey?
Mrs. PAINE. I am.
