United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's what I'm saying--I'll come to it. Then she was
asked what was in that blanket before, why did she pay attention
particularly to the blanket. She said he kept his gun in that blanket.
Now, she also said--she was asked if she would remember the gun, how it
looked, she said, "Probably--yes," she has seen not the whole gun but
she has seen part of the gun wrapped in that grey blanket and at this
moment the gun was brought in.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, she volunteered that when she got up and went to
the kitchen, noticed that Oswald had not prepared any breakfast----
Mr. MAMANTOV. Right.
Mr. JENNER. She then went to the garage; is that correct?
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct, or she was led to that question, if she
had gone to the garage, and she said continuously that "I went." I
assume that she was led to that question when she stated that she went
to the garage.
Mr. JENNER. After she had inspected the kitchen?
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. Did she say whether Mrs. Paine was up and about at that
time?
Mr. MAMANTOV. No; I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. You don't remember anything about Mrs. Paine?
Mr. MAMANTOV. You see, Mrs. Paine also gave a statement later on after
Marina finished.
Mr. JENNER. Let's stick with Marina for the moment.
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct, otherwise I would be confused.
Mr. JENNER. Did she say why she went to the garage or was she asked,
and did she respond on that subject?
Mr. MAMANTOV. To the best of my memory, she was asked and led to that
question, if she had gone to the garage, if she had seen a blanket----
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, sir; they could be asking her, in connection
with the questions, to see whether she went to the blanket later in the
day. Do you recall that the question--is it because of the questioning,
or she voluntarily stated----
Mr. MAMANTOV. No; because of the question.
Mr. JENNER. Because of the questioning, that after she was in the
kitchen that morning, at that time she then went into the garage for
the purpose of examining the blanket and its contents? Just relax and
think about it.
Mr. MAMANTOV. I'm afraid I wouldn't remember in such extent, if she
went immediately or she went later or she went during the time when
police was at Mrs. Paine's home, and I imagine those points are very
important to you, and I don't remember at the moment, I mean, to the
exact time.
Mr. JENNER. Yes; they are important--you see, your responses when you
first approached this subject, the implication was she looked at the
kitchen, and that she went immediately out into the garage.
Mr. MAMANTOV. No; I'm afraid I cannot state positively whether she went
during the day or whether she went immediately from the kitchen--I do
not know.
Mr. JENNER. You cannot state it?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. Does your recollection serve you that she went before
noontime?
Mr. MAMANTOV. No; I cannot state.
