Mr. MAMANTOV. Her response was that it is possible that this is the gun which he had in the Soviet Union. She cannot say one way or the other if this is a different gun or which he had before. Now, no person had a gun in the Soviet Union--I can say so much for sure and that's where I didn't like this. Mr. JENNER. No; you just interjected your own observation, that is, no person had a gun in the Soviet Union--that was an observation on your part, not what she said. Mr. MAMANTOV. No, no; that's my observation, but maybe not to be--not to put it into the record, but I think it is very important when she went back--when she said that the gun was brought in from the Soviet Union. Mr. JENNER. Might have been? Mr. MAMANTOV. It might have been--so, she didn't know. The question was asked when did he purchase, when and where he purchased it and she said, "I don't know. He had always guns. He always played with guns even in the Soviet Union. He had the gun and I don't know which gun was this." And she was asked a question if she would recognize the gun--she was asked the color of the gun, if this was the same gun or resembled the gun which he had in the Soviet Union. She said, to her all guns are dark and black and that's all--so much she said about it. Mr. JENNER. Before we get to the gun itself, I would like to ask you some more questions. Mr. MAMANTOV. Before we get to the gun itself--all right. Mr. JENNER. I take it from your answers that she either said or implied that when they were in Fort Worth, when they were in New Orleans, that he had the gun that she had in mind? Mr. MAMANTOV. This particular gun? Mr. JENNER. Whatever gun she had in mind. Mr. MAMANTOV. She made statement this way: She said he always had guns, he always was interested in guns--this statement she made. Mr. JENNER. And he always had a weapon? Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct, he always had a weapon. Mr. JENNER. Did she say anything about a pistol as distinguished from a rifle? Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember the question and I don't remember a reply. Mr. JENNER. Now, when she was asked whether she examined the package on that day, was she then asked to state what she did in the examination of the package and what she found--would you state as chronologically as you can? Did she say, and this is a hypothetic, now, on my part--"I went into the garage, I looked for the blanket package, I saw the blanket package, I walked over to the blanket package, I stepped on it, or I lifted it up, or I opened it up"--was she questioned that closely? Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember, questions like you stated. Mr. JENNER. Was she questioned about whether she looked for or whether there was any other weapon different from or in addition to the weapon in the blanket package? Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't remember the question--neither question. Mr. JENNER. Is it fair to say that your best recollection is that she was not examined on that subject? Mr. MAMANTOV. I would say so--yes.
