United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Senator COOPER. Do you remember at anytime after that whether or not
you were hanging clothes alone?
Mrs. PAINE. That is what I am not certain about. I could well have been.
Mr. JENNER. At anytime that afternoon, in any event, up to the time
that the policeman rang your doorbell, did you observe or were you
aware that Marina had entered the garage?
Mrs. PAINE. I wasn't aware that she had entered, if she did.
Mr. JENNER. I take it from your testimony it is possible that Marina,
after you advised her that the shot was thought to have come from this
Texas School Book Depository, that she might have been inside your home
while you were still out in the yard?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. And, of course, if that is so, then she could have entered
the garage while she was inside your home, and you were out in the yard
hanging clothes?
Mrs. PAINE. And I would not have seen her; that is right.
Mr. JENNER. Now, this clothes-hanging occurred in the rear, the yard
portion in the rear of your home; is that correct?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Is it possible--is there a window in the garage opening on
the rear of your home on to that yard area, or is the wall blank?
Mrs. PAINE. The window one can look into from the area where one hangs
clothes goes to the dining area. From where I stood, I could not have
seen the door entering the garage, which would be just beyond----
Mr. JENNER. You are talking about the inside door?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. First I would like to know this----
Mrs. PAINE. The answer to your question is clear if you see the plan
of the interior of the house. No part of the garage shows, no wall or
window or any part of the garage shows from the back----
Mr. JENNER. There is no opening from the rear of the garage, is there?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. So you can't see into the garage, at least from----
Mrs. PAINE. From the back of my house you can't; no.
Mr. JENNER. There are windows opening from your kitchen into the back
part, into the yard, are there not?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And being in the yard, could you see when somebody passed
across that window, let us say, headed for the garage area?
Mrs. PAINE. No. Heading for the garage area, you would not pass across
that window.
Mr. JENNER. You would not. In any event, you had no consciousness at
anytime that day or afternoon of Marina having entered the garage up to
the time the police came?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Is that true of the time in the morning that you have been
describing?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. At anytime from 7:30 in the morning, from the time you
awakened until the time the police came, you have no consciousness that
Marina was in the garage?
Mrs. PAINE. No consciousness of that.
Mr. JENNER. Did you enter the garage during this period of time?
Mrs. PAINE. I have no specific recollection of having done so.
