United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Did Marina accompany you?
Mrs. PAINE. No; she did not.
Mr. JENNER. She did not?
Mrs. PAINE. She stayed home with the baby. My children probably went
with me, I don't recall specifically.
Mr. JENNER. That is the baby, you mean June?
Mrs. PAINE. June.
Mr. JENNER. You drove into the bus terminal approximately 3 miles from
your home. Did you remain until the bus came along?
Mrs. PAINE. I think so.
Mr. JENNER. You saw him depart?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said about where he would reside in Dallas
before he left?
Mrs. PAINE. I am not certain, but I think he said the Y was rather
expensive. He was going to look for a room.
Mr. McCLOY. What was the date you took him into the bus station?
Mrs. PAINE. That is the 7th of October.
Mr. McCLOY. The 7th of October?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was there an occasion in this early period that you drove
him all the way into Dallas?
Mrs. PAINE. I can't recall ever driving him all the way into Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. At any time?
Mrs. PAINE. We drove, except to the Oak Cliff Station for this driver
training test.
Mr. JENNER. That is the only occasion?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; that is the only one I recall. Can you refresh my
memory. I can't think of any other.
Mr. JENNER. You are clear that you drove him from your home to the bus
terminal in Irving?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And either you left immediately or waited to see him board
the bus, but it is your definite recollection you did not drive him to
the Dallas downtown area on that occasion?
Mrs. PAINE. Oh, I did once drive him to the Dallas downtown area,
because I recall where he got out. Now why I was going--yes, I think I
may know why I was going.
Mr. JENNER. Fix the time first.
Mrs. PAINE. I do recall now driving him into downtown Dallas because I
was already going and it was probably Monday, the 14th of October.
Mr. JENNER. This is the day before his employment began with the Texas
School Book Depository?
Mrs. PAINE. It would have been 2 days before, the day before he
applied. I have several recollections but which day they attach to is
not quite as clear.
I recall taking him to the bus. I recall picking him up at the bus. I
recall going in and dropping him off at a corner of Ross Avenue and
something else, which was near the employment office.
Mr. JENNER. In downtown Dallas?
Mrs. PAINE. Near the employment office station. I was on my way to
get a key fixed on my Russian typewriter which is what was taking me
downtown. I hadn't been thinking--I at no time made a purposeful trip
just to take him to downtown Dallas, but I was going and he went along
and I am pretty sure that was a Monday and he got out at that corner
and Marina was with me and we went on to get this typewriter fixed
either to pick it up or to leave it. I am quite certain it was the
12th, Saturday, that I picked him up at the station.
Mr. JENNER. At the bus terminal?
