United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. PAINE. No. It was after this that the conversation I have already
related with Marina took place, and we finished our preparations for
bed. She said to me she didn't think she would sleep fairly soon and
asked if she could borrow my hair dryer, she would stay up and take a
shower, which she often said renewed her spirits, and I then went to
bed, having given her my hair dryer. We woke perhaps something after 7
the next morning or closer to 8.
Mr. JENNER. When you say "we", who do you mean?
Mrs. PAINE. The household. I think we had not yet--we pretty much woke
all at once.
Mr. JENNER. Did your husband remain at your home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; he remained at my home that night, the first time he
had been there in a great long time. We were still eating breakfast
or had just begun when the two Life people arrived again, this time
with an interpreter, a woman doctor whose name I don't remember, and
Marguerite Oswald and Marina Oswald, with her two little girls went
with these two Life Magazine people to downtown Dallas for the purpose
of seeing Lee, and Marguerite Oswald wanted to see that he got legal
counsel immediately.
They were acting, the Life people were acting in this case as shovers,
I feel, and I also thought Marguerite Oswald was hoping that something
could be arranged between them, that would be financially helpful.
Mr. JENNER. Did she say anything that further stimulated your thoughts
and reaction in that direction?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. I don't recall specifically but I have the clear
impression that----
Mr. JENNER. From her conversation with the Life representatives?
Mrs. PAINE. From her conversation. Yes. They left quite soon, I
remember wishing Marina had taken more time to have more breakfast
since it was going to be a trying day, and that is the last I saw her
until March 9, in the evening, very recently.
Mr. JENNER. March 9, 1964?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Just a week or so ago?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right. She left, of course, expecting to come back.
She took only the immediate needs of the baby's diapers and bottle,
and I fully expected her to come back later that same day. I don't
really recall. I think there must have been some newsmen out then that
morning, later that morning.
Mr. JENNER. To see you, at your home?
Mrs. PAINE. At my home. I would be certain of that. The Houston
Post--well, yes. And Michael was there also, at least in the morning as
I recall, and talked with these people.
I believe the local paper, Irving News, was there. Then Michael, as
I recall, went to do something related to his work or had to do some
shopping.
Mr. JENNER. He left your home?
