United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. That was your impression of her?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Of her conduct.
Senator COOPER. That is just your idea about it, isn't it?
Mrs. PAINE. Well, and that I saw her do exactly, that too.
Mr. JENNER. Do exactly what?
Mrs. PAINE. She didn't ask him why he had come.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me. You were present when Marina put a question
to----
Mrs. PAINE. She did not ask him.
Mr. JENNER. Oh, she did not.
Mr. McCLOY. She did not.
Mr. JENNER. Oh, I am sorry.
Mrs. PAINE. Certainly not in my presence.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have any impression as to how long he had been at
your home prior to your driving down the street and first seeing him?
Mrs. PAINE. He usually arrived from his ride with Wesley Frazier
somewhere around a quarter of 5, so I guess it was a few minutes to 10
minutes.
Mr. JENNER. You arrived at your home in the neighborhood of 5:25 or
5:30. So it is your impression that he had been at your home from 10 to
15 minutes?
Mrs. PAINE. No; I say from a few minutes to 10 minutes.
Mr. JENNER. A few minutes to 10 minutes. Did Marina say anything that
evening of his having a package with him when he came to your home?
Mrs. PAINE. No; she didn't.
Mr. JENNER. No discussion of that nature occurred?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. I am going to put a general question to you. Do you have
any recollection at all of Lee Oswald actually being in the garage of
your home that evening?
Mrs. PAINE. I have said that I had the feeling from traffic that had
preceded it that he was in the bedroom when I saw he was no longer in
the rest of the house. When I saw the light was on, my distinct thought
was that he had left it on. I think that was founded upon an awareness
of what Marina had been doing and I suppose what he was doing.
Mr. JENNER. You say doing. You mean an awareness----
Mrs. PAINE. In other words, it was common for both Marina and Lee to go
to the garage, but when I saw the light was on I was certain it was Lee
that had left it on.
Mr. JENNER. Rather than Marina?
Mrs. PAINE. Rather than Marina.
Mr. JENNER. Because of her habit of turning off lights?
Mrs. PAINE. Not only that. I feel that I--memory of what she had been
doing during the time that I was also putting the children to bed. She
was involved with the children.
Mr. JENNER. May we possibly do this. Did you see Marina in the garage
at anytime?
Mrs. PAINE. That evening?
Mr. JENNER. That evening.
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. You did not see Lee Oswald in the garage at anytime that
evening?
Mrs. PAINE. Did not see him in the garage; no.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Chairman, I intend at this moment to proceed to the
next day. I wondered if members of the Commission have any further
questions of Mrs. Paine with respect to the afternoon or evening of
November 21?
