Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. While you were still in the Roberts' home was there any
discussion at all of the subject mentioned by you or by Mrs. Randle
or Mrs. Roberts or anyone else, of calls to be made, or that might be
made, to the Texas School Book Depository in this connection?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall this discussion. As I recall it was a
suggestion made by Marina to me after we got home, but I may be wrong.
Mr. JENNER. But that is your best recollection that you are now
testifying to?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Is that correct?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. You reached home and Marina suggested that "Would you
please call the Texas School Depository?"
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. What did you do?
Mrs. PAINE. I looked up the number in the book, and dialed it, was told
I would need to speak to Mr. Truly, who was at the warehouse. The phone
was taken to Mr. Truly, and I talked with him and said----
Mr. JENNER. You mean the call was transferred by the operator?
Mrs. PAINE. To Mr. Truly, and I said I know of a young man whose wife
was staying in my house, the wife was expecting a child, they already
had a little girl and he had been out of work for a while and was
very interested in getting any employment and his name, and was there
a possibility of an opening there, and Mr. Truly said he didn't know
whether he had an opening, that the young man should apply himself in
person.
Mr. JENNER. Which made sense.
Mrs. PAINE. Made very good sense for a personnel man to say.
Mr. JENNER. Did you make more than one call to this Texas School Book
Depository?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Only the one?
Mrs. PAINE. Only the one.
Mr. JENNER. What was the date of this call?
Mrs. PAINE. Reconstructing it, I believe it was October 14.
Mr. JENNER. What day of the week is October 14?
Mrs. PAINE. It is a Monday.
Mr. JENNER. Following that call and your talking with Mr. Truly, what
did you do?
Mrs. PAINE. Began to get dinner. Then Lee call the house.
Mr. JENNER. In the evening?
Mrs. PAINE. In the early evening.
Mr. JENNER. Did you talk with him?
Mrs. PAINE. Marina talked with him, then asked--then Marina asked me
to tell Lee in English what had transpired regarding the possible
job opening, and then I did say that there might be an opening in the
School Book Depository, that Mr. Truly was the man to apply to. Shall I
go on?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. PAINE. The next day----
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, I meant go on as far as the conversation was
concerned.
Mrs. PAINE. That is all there was.
Mr. JENNER. Mrs. Paine, I would like to return just for a moment to the
conversation in the Roberts' home.
Was any possible place of employment in addition to the Texas School
Depository mentioned?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. You have no recollection of any other suggestion as to
possible places of employment?
Mrs. PAINE. I have no recollection of that.
