United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. GRAVITIS. Because I felt that he was preparing himself for a trip
somewhere; either Cuba or somewhere else.
Mr. BELIN. But this is just a feeling, or did you have any facts upon
which to base it?
Mrs. GRAVITIS. No; this is my personal feeling.
Mr. BELIN. Any other facts that you know of that might be helpful here?
Mrs. GRAVITIS. I would help you more, but I don't have enough
acquaintance here in town that I really feel that I would know more. I
know Mrs. Paine beside her Russian tutoring so well, because Mrs. Paine
or her husband left her. She was separated or still is separated, so
Mrs. Paine more or less came to me an elderly person for advice. Her
husband came home after the President was assassinated.
Mr. BELIN. Why did he come home, do you know?
Mrs. GRAVITIS. I asked her, but Mrs. Paine said she don't know why. And
she still has domestic problems. I feel that he would like to make it
easier on her after that particular time.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you can think of that might be relevant?
Mrs. GRAVITIS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Well, we want to thank you very much for coming down here,
Mrs. Gravitis, and also thank you very much, for your help.
Mrs. GRAVITIS. Thank you; Mr. Belin.
Mr. BELIN. Your mother-in-law has the opportunity to read the
deposition and sign it or make corrections. Do you want to come down
and do that with her some time, or do you want to waive the signing and
let it go directly to Washington?
Mr. MAMANTOV. She trusts you without signing.
Mr. BELIN. So you waive the signing?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Yes.
TESTIMONY OF PAUL RODERICK GREGORY
The testimony of Paul Roderick Gregory was taken at 4 p.m., on March
31, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Wesley J. Liebeler,
assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. LIEBELER. Would you rise and I will swear you as a witness?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. GREGORY. I do.
Mr. LIEBELER. I would like to advise you that my name is Wesley
J. Liebeler. I am a member of the legal staff of the President's
Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy. I have
been authorized to take your deposition by the Commission pursuant to
authority granted to it by Executive Order 11130, dated November 29,
1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress No. 137.
I understand that Mr. Rankin wrote you a letter either last week or the
week before last, with respect to your appearance to give testimony.
I believe that he included a copy of the Executive order and the
Resolution of Congress, as well as a copy of the Commission's Rules of
Procedure relating to the taking of testimony; isn't that right?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes.
