Warren Commission (03 of 26): Hearings Vol. III (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Representative FORD. About the same shape even with the cord?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. DULLES. The cords weren't pulled tight?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. They were relatively loosely tied?
Mrs. PAINE. I recall this definite shape.
Mr. JENNER. To hold the blanket in that form rather than to hold the
contents of the package firm, is that your impression?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. McCLOY. Are you going to ask about the husband's testimony in
connection with the moving of the package?
Mr. JENNER. I did not intend to.
Mr. McCLOY. I was not present but your husband testified he had moved
the blanket from time to time but had not opened it. Did he ever refer
to it? Did he ever speak to you about having had to move it while he
was----
Mrs. PAINE. Not until after the assassination.
Mr. McCLOY. Not until after the assassination but before the
assassination he had not complained about its being there or any
difficulty in moving it?
Mrs. PAINE. No; he did not mention it, and I was not present when he
moved it.
Representative FORD. Was he the person who used these various
woodworking pieces of equipment?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Representative FORD. Did he work in the garage?
Mrs. PAINE. Well, he had--he made the workbench, and he had worked in
the garage when he lived at the home and it has since been somewhat
filled up.
Representative FORD. But during the time that you and Marina came back
he didn't work in the garage?
Mrs. PAINE. He did still cut occasionally something on the saws.
Indeed, I did, too. I like to make children's blocks. I am trying to
think when I last, if it is pertinent, when I used the saw.
Mr. McCLOY. Did you use the saw while the blanket was on floor?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I believe so.
Mr. McCLOY. You had to step over the blanket to do that?
Mrs. PAINE. Or around it.
Mr. McCLOY. Or around it. But in the course of your use of the saw you
never had the necessity or the occasion to readjust the blanket or move
it in any way?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. DULLES. Did we get the three locations here? I only see two.
Mr. JENNER. There were only two?
Mrs. PAINE. Two that I recall.
Mr. DULLES. Only two.
Representative FORD. She made a mistake in the first drawing of the
second one.
Mrs. PAINE. I touched it by mistake.
Representative FORD. I think that ought to be clarified on the record.
Mr. JENNER. On the right-hand side of Commission Exhibit 429 there is
an X or an arrow above which is written the words "on floor". That is
the first location point at which you saw the package?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. On the left-hand side, the lower half of the photograph
there is a double X.
Mrs. PAINE. Which I could not put in enough to give the proportion.
Mr. JENNER. You mean in the photograph?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Is that where you saw the package for the second time?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; as I have described it. The position I have described
is more accurate than the XX.
