United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. MAMANTOV. No; I'll put it this way. She apparently slept a little
bit longer after he left, and when she got up and went into the kitchen
she found out he didn't eat breakfast, which was surprising to her.
From this I made my opinion that she usually prepared breakfast for him
and she ate.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, sir; when you testified a moment ago that
she said she usually prepared breakfast for him, were you then
rationalizing from the circumstance you have just stated, or do you
recall that she said that?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I understood--here's my problem--either I recall or I
recall future instances from translating her life history.
Mr. JENNER. It is important, Mr. Mamantov, for you to recall and to
exclude from your mind--it is very difficult I appreciate--and to
exclude from your mind what you have learned and to exclude from your
mind what you have learned afterwards; that is, after November 22d.
Mr. MAMANTOV. I realize that.
Mr. JENNER. What I am trying to get now is exactly to the best of your
powers of recall, what was said on that occasion by her without your
rationalizing from facts you recall as to what she might have said; do
you understand?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I understand. As far as I know, she said that he didn't
return backward--I mean--come back to her--she didn't get up at the
time he was leaving. After a while she got up.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me; now, as a result of this further questioning
it is your present recollection that at the time you were doing the
translating you----
Mr. MAMANTOV. Right.
Mr. JENNER. At the city police station, that she said was that he left
the bedroom to make breakfast for himself, that he did not return to
the bedroom, and she, because of being up during the night to care for
the baby, she went back to rest or sleep and got up later on.
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. Did she say that she then went into the kitchen?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And did she say what she found when she reached the kitchen?
Mr. MAMANTOV. She found that the coffee wasn't--I mean, or, she thought
he didn't eat.
Mr. JENNER. He had not prepared breakfast, in fact?
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mr. MAMANTOV. Then, I also remember her saying, but I don't remember
how the question was put to her, that she went into the garage to check
her belongings which were stored in the garage, Mrs. Paine's garage,
and she saw a grey blanket which appeared to her in a little bit
different position than she remember it before.
Mr. JENNER. Did she describe the configuration, shape--form of the
blanket?
