United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Did they question her as to where the package was in the
garage, precisely, on the two occasions, that is, when she had seen it
before November 22 and the position it was located in in the garage
when she saw it on November 22?
Mr. MAMANTOV. The question was asked and she answered, it was with her
belongings which she couldn't bring into Mrs. Paine's home, and if I
remember right, she said it was in one corner of the garage, and that
particular day the blanket was in the same area, but was in a different
shape or in a different condition. What it was, I don't know. It was in
the garage in one of the corners.
Mr. JENNER. What did she say as to the difference and the content?
Mr. MAMANTOV. She said when she saw the blanket it didn't contain the
gun.
Mr. JENNER. It did not contain the gun?
Mr. MAMANTOV. It did not contain the gun.
Mr. JENNER. Did she say anything about whether the blanket's form or
condition was, for purposes of illustration not for the purpose of
placing words in your mouth, that the blanket was absolutely flat when
she saw it on the 22d, whereas, prior thereto it appeared to contain
what she discovered was a rifle?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. Did she say anything about whether the package, the blanket
package, was wrapped in any fashion, with string or any other wrapping
of that character?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. Was that subject brought up?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. At any time during the questioning was the blanket package
brought into the room?
Mr. MAMANTOV. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said when she was asked about her entry into
the garage and her examination of the package as to whether anybody was
with her when she did that?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I think--was police and Mrs. Paine.
Mr. JENNER. At the time that she examined the blanket?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Once for sure--I don't know what happened before that.
Mr. JENNER. Was she asked whether she had examined the blanket that day
at any time prior to her examination of the blanket in the presence of
Mrs. Paine and the police?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. But you do recall that she did testify or relate as to
the incident you now have in mind that Mrs. Paine was present and the
police were present?
Mr. MAMANTOV. On one occasion; yes.
Mr. JENNER. And is that the only occasion she was examined about, that
is, her having entered the garage once and then only in the presence of
the police?
Mr. MAMANTOV. This, I don't know for sure.
Mr. JENNER. It might have been that she testified to having gone to the
garage on two occasions that day.
Mr. MAMANTOV. Sir, I don't remember for sure. I rather wouldn't like,
as you say, to interpret--I would be very happy to relate everything I
know. If you don't remember, you don't.
