(Testimony of James Herbert Martin)
Mr. Martin.
I didn't get that whether it was in a Dinkler hotel or whether she was in the long distance or toll offices in Atlanta.
Representative Boggs.
Did this person have the credit card number and so forth?
Mr. Martin.
No. The person that I was talking to?
Representative Boggs.
Did the telephone operator have it?
Mr. Martin.
The telephone operator did, or the telephone company has the records.
Representative Boggs.
Do you have any other information that would indicate that----
Mr. Martin.
No, I know this doesn't indicate anything about Marina as far as--no, it is just a strange feeling as far as Marina is concerned. She is too cold.
Mr. Redlich.
When did you hear about this story, Mr. Martin?
Mr. Martin.
About a week ago.
Mr. Redlich.
You haven't discussed it at all with Marina in that week?
Mr. Martin.
No.
Mr. Redlich.
I would like to question you again on Congressman Boggs point. You have said she is too cold, you have said you thought that all this was pre-planned. Is there anything specific in anything that she told you or in any of her actions which would lead you to believe that she has withheld certain information from you, or this Commission, concerning her knowledge about the assassination?
Mr. Martin.
No, except she made a remark to me one time that she didn't volunteer anything. She only answered questions.
Representative Ford.
This was after the return from the Commission hearing?
Mr. Martin.
No, this was sometime ago. That was before----
Representative Ford.
Before the Commission hearing where she appeared?
Mr. Martin.
Yes. And it was----
Mr. Dulles.
Is that all you had on this particular point?
Representative Boggs.
Yes.
Mr. Martin.
I don't remember what brought it up even. She didn't like the FBI. She said that. And she didn't like to answer questions.
Mr. Redlich.
Did she tell you why?
Mr. Martin.
No. She just didn't like them. Boguslav in particular.
Mr. Redlich.
But her remark was made before her hearing before this Commission.
Mr. Martin.
Yes.
Mr. Dulles.
And did not relate then to that hearing.
Mr. Martin.
No.
Mr. Redlich.
Did she indicate to you she had revealed everything that there was to reveal before this Commission?
Mr. Martin.
Yes. here again I didn't question her about anything that she said in the Commission. I didn't feel it was any of my business for one thing, and all I asked her is how it went, and she would say fine, and that would be the end of it. That is the limit of my questioning her as far as testimony within the Commission was concerned.
Mr. Redlich.
Will you tell us how you found out about the General Walker incident?
Mr. Martin.
Read it from the newspapers.
Mr. Redlich.
When you read about it did you talk to Mrs. Oswald about it?
Mr. Martin.
Yes.
Mr. Redlich.
Could you tell us the nature of the conversation?
Mr. Martin.
Well, I asked her if it was true, and she said yes. and I also asked her who was with Oswald, and she said no one. He did things alone. And, let's see, she related the story as to the note he had written. He had left earlier in the evening, and he hadn't come home at the, we'll say, at an early hour, and she was getting quite upset with him, and she found this note on a bed table or somewhere in the bedroom, and read it, and it simply said that he might be gone for a time or he might be in jail, and instructions as to what to do in case he was gone.
