United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. PAINE. She was inside.
Mr. JENNER. Having located Marina and the Oswald daughter inside your
home, does that refresh your recollection as to whether Lee was also
inside the house?
Mrs. PAINE. As far as I remember, he was also inside the house.
Mr. JENNER. Was he playing with his daughter?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. How long did it take you to prepare dinner?
Mrs. PAINE. Probably half an hour.
Mr. JENNER. I am unaware of the shades of evening and night in Texas.
By the time you had completed dinner had night fallen or was it still
light?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. What time does nightfall come in Texas in November, late
November?
Mrs. PAINE. I would say between 7 and 7:30.
Mr. JENNER. I shouldn't have been as broad as I was. I meant to locate
it in Irving, Tex., rather than Texas generally. About 7:30?
Mrs. PAINE. Between 7 and 7:30. I don't know exactly.
Mr. JENNER. When did you sit down for dinner?
Mrs. PAINE. I suppose around 6:30.
Mr. JENNER. Is that your best recollection?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall specifically.
Mr. JENNER. Was it still light outside, natural light?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did Lee Oswald join you for dinner?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; he did.
Mr. JENNER. And how long did dinner take?
Mrs. PAINE. Perhaps half an hour.
Mr. JENNER. Did he remain in your presence during all of the dinner
period?
Mrs. PAINE. Either there or in the living room.
Mr. JENNER. At anytime during the dinner period, did Lee Oswald leave
your home?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. You have a firm recollection of that?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did Marina?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. At anytime during that period did Lee Oswald enter the
garage area?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Did Marina?
Mrs. PAINE. Not to my recollection.
Mr. JENNER. Did you?
Mrs. PAINE. The deepfreeze is in the garage. I don't recall having
gone, but I go all the time for goods for the baby, for my little boy.
Mr. JENNER. And did you use anything from the deepfreeze normally, in
connection with the preparation of an evening meal?
Mrs. PAINE. I could have gone out then too.
Mr. JENNER. Though you don't recall it specifically, it is possible
that you went into the garage.
Mrs. PAINE. It is possible.
Mr. JENNER. Garage area.
Senator COOPER. But you don't remember?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't remember. This is something I do as habit.
Mr. JENNER. It is so much habit that you don't single it out?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. In any event, if you entered the garage, it was pursuant to
a normal practice of preparing dinner and not because you were seeking
to look for something out of the ordinary?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Or that your attention was arrested by something out of the
ordinary?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. After the dinner hour or half hour, whatever it took, what
did you do? Let's take say the 1-hour period following your dinner?
Mrs. PAINE. I was busy putting my children to bed.
