Mrs. Grant.

I know they took out a tremendous tumor and a lot of things--I didn't ask because I don't know what parts it was.

Mr. Burleson.

Who was the doctor?

Mrs. Grant.

Bill Aranov.

Mr. Burleson.

Then you got out of the hospital 7 days after the 6th, which would have been about the 13th?

Mrs. Grant.

That's right.

Mr. Burleson.

And that was in the middle of a week--about a Wednesday, wasn't it?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes; Wednesday--that's right.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, were you given some medication after you left the hospital?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, not for a few days, I would say, but about the third or fourth day I got pretty bad.

Mr. Burleson.

You started what--hurting and being in pain?

Mrs. Grant.

Tremendous pain.

Mr. Burleson.

And did this doctor that had operated on you prescribe some pills?

Mrs. Grant.

His coworker or assistant--I think his name is Dr. Bookatz.

Mr. Burleson.

But, at any rate, a doctor did prescribe some pills. What type of pills were they, do you know ?

Mrs. Grant.

I believe that they have codeine in it.

Mr. Burleson.

What would be the effect on you that these pills would have?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, they put me into a trance and made my body stiff and I didn't have any more pain but I wasn't as alert as I usually was.

Mr. Burleson.

Did it affect your thinking?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

Did Jack visit you in the hospital?

Mrs. Grant.

Oh, yes; two or three times a day--mostly two times anyway.

Mr. Burleson.

And called on the phone sometimes?

Mrs. Grant.

Oh, yes; and sent me three bouquets of flowers and everything.

Mr. Burleson.

And how long did you take this medicine after you started taking it--2 or 3 days after you got out of the hospital?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, I really didn't start to take it until the weekend after I was home.

Mr. Burleson.

That would have been the weekend about the 16th?

Mrs. Grant.

That's right.

Mr. Burleson.

And how long did you take it?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, there was 1 or 2 days I cut down and then I--about the 21st, which was a Thursday, I had an unusual severe pain and I started all over again.

Mr. Burleson.

Taking heavy doses of it?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, they are tablets and I called his nurse and she suggested to take them but not as often as I did when I complained it threw me into a trance but it still did, because I am not a pill taker and I guess pills work a little better on me.

Mr. Burleson.

Were you taking pills on the day of the 22d of November?

Mrs. Grant.

I already had two pills by the time the President was assassinated-these pills are prescribed one every 4 hours.

Mr. Burleson.

Do you subscribe to the Dallas Morning News or did you back on November 22?

Mrs. Grant.

No, no; but my manager was very sympathetic.

Mr. Burleson.

Your manager?

Mrs. Grant.

My manager brought it up every day she came to the apartment.

Mr. Burleson.

That's your manager at the apartment house?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

And she brought it up--the paper?

Mrs. Grant.

Every day.

Mr. Burleson.

About what time of the morning on November 22 did she bring it up?

Mrs. Grant.

It may have been around 11 o'clock.

Mr. Burleson.

Had you heard from Jack before that concerning the ad?
