United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Did any conversation ensue as to where he had been in that
10-day interim?
Mrs. PAINE. Where he had been?
Mr. JENNER. Where he had been in the intervening 10 days?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; he said to me that he had been in Houston and that he
hadn't been able to find work there and was now going to try in Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. Did he say anything about Philadelphia?
Mrs. PAINE. Nothing.
Mr. JENNER. From your testimony I gather he did not say anything about
Mexico?
Mrs. PAINE. No; he did not.
Mr. JENNER. Was Marina present when he stated to you that he had been
in Houston looking for work?
Mrs. PAINE. That is my recollection of it; yes.
Mr. JENNER. You never had any conversation with her up to the 23d or
22d of November on the subject of whether Lee had or had not been in
Mexico?
Mrs. PAINE. We never had such a conversation.
Mr. JENNER. Despite your having read that letter on the 10th of
November in which he stated that he had been?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. Now there was no occasion in that letter that she may
have known that he went any more than there was certain indication to
my mind that this was true and not false. Had I looked at the peso,
this would have been the only occasion that she knew.
Mr. JENNER. But the fact is, apart from your rationalization now there
was no conversation on that subject?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. How long did he remain in your home?
Mrs. PAINE. Monday morning----
The CHAIRMAN. Before you get to that, I want to ask a question about
giving the blood that day. Did you give it for a particular person or
for a blood bank?
Mrs. PAINE. It was for Marina. For each of the persons who come in
under county care they ask you to donate two pints of blood, one at a
time.
The CHAIRMAN. I see. And you donated one pint for her?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you.
Mr. JENNER. How long did he remain in your home on this visit?
Mrs. PAINE. Until Monday morning, the 7th of October, almost noon, in
fact, when I took him to an Intercity bus at the Irving bus station.
Mr. JENNER. This is that bus terminal approximately 3 miles from your
home?
Mrs. PAINE. That same day I gave him a map to assist him in job hunting.
Mr. JENNER. All right. I would like to get to that.
I show you what is in evidence, I don't know whether it is received or
not; it is a Commission Exhibit No. 128, and ask you if you have ever
seen that before?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have.
Mr. JENNER. Is that the map to which you now have reference?
Mrs. PAINE. I would say it is.
Mr. JENNER. What did you do with the map with respect to Lee Harvey
Oswald on this occasion?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall who asked, who mentioned a map first, but,
of course, I knew, and he did, that it would be a useful thing to have
job hunting. I think he asked if I had a map of the city of Dallas and
I said, yes, I did, and I can easily get another at the gas station,
one of these.
