United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. You left the home?
Mrs. PAINE. I left the home.
Mr. JENNER. You have now exhausted your recollection as to everything
that was said to you by Marina after she hung up and was relating to
you, at least a summary of the conversation with her husband?
Mrs. PAINE. I believe it was also said that he wanted to look for work
in Dallas. He was here, staying at the Y. Could he come out for the
weekend. He planned to look for work in Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Did you say anything about--were you stimulated to say anything to
Marina about any of the subject matters of that conversation as she
reported it to you?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. You expressed no response, made no response to her having
made a statement to her husband that--of her surprise as to why he
hadn't called and if he were just over in Dallas and staying at the Y?
Mrs. PAINE. I thought that but I didn't try to put it in Russian.
Mr. JENNER. There was no discussion is all I am getting at.
What did she say as to his coming out by whatever means he could get
there? Was there any discussion of that?
Mrs. PAINE. It implied whatever means, that he shouldn't ask me to----
Mr. JENNER. He was coming?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But that you were not going to go to get him?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And you left and went to the grocery store or market?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. When you returned, was Lee at your home?
Mrs. PAINE. He was already there, which surprised me greatly.
Mr. JENNER. Why did it surprise you?
Mrs. PAINE. Because I thought he would have to take a public bus to
Irving, they run very rarely if at all during the afternoon, and I
thought he would have considerable difficulty getting out. I thought it
would be at least supper time before he got there.
Mr. JENNER. How much time elapsed between the time you left and the
time you returned?
Mrs. PAINE. Shopping? Oh, I don't know, perhaps an hour, perhaps a
little less.
Representative FORD. Where did you go shopping?
Mrs. PAINE. The grocery store in the same parking lot where we
practiced.
Mr. JENNER. That was three blocks away?
Mrs. PAINE. It is a little more than that. These would be long blocks.
Mr. JENNER. Did any conversation ensue as to how he had, by what means
he had come from Dallas to Irving?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. He then said that he had hitchhiked out, caught a ride
with someone who brought him straight to the door, a Negro man.
Mr. JENNER. To your door?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. To whom he said that he had been away from his wife
and child and he was just now getting home, and the man kindly brought
him directly to the door.
Mr. JENNER. Where did this conversation take place?
Mrs. PAINE. In the home that afternoon.
Mr. JENNER. When you returned to your home, that was in the afternoon,
wasn't it?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Where was Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. Was he inside the home or outside?
Mrs. PAINE. Inside, I believe.
