Mr. Burleson.

Then Melvin Belli did come in town and met with Mr. Tom Howard and Mr. Tonahill?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

And stayed out at the Cabana Hotel, I believe, the motel out on Stemmons Freeway?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, I was never at that hotel to visit them--I can't remember.

Mr. Burleson.

Earl was in town at the same time Mr. Belli was in town?

Mrs. Grant.

I think you are right there that they were all over there--Earl was there for a couple of days but I didn't go there.

Mr. Burleson.

Then Mr. Belli went down and talked with Jack prior to the time and he said that he would accept the case, do you remember that?

Mrs. Grant.

I'm sure he did.

Mr. Burleson.

And after talking to Jack, do you remember he said he would accept the case at that time?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Burleson, may I make this suggestion--of course, this is not a court hearing, on the other hand, for the sake of the value of the testimony, I think if you wouldn't lead her so much that the testimony might have more weight.

Mrs. Grant.

Well, I'll tell you, my mind--I'm just about out of my mind.

Mr. Burleson.

Yes. Do you know if that is when I became active in the case at that time?

Mrs. Grant.

I think you came in about--it seems to me about a week after this incident--it seems to me that's when I first met you.

Mr. Burleson.

And do you know if Mr. Belli brought any attorneys with him from California?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

Do you know who that was?

Mrs. Grant.

I know he brought Samuel Brody.

Mr. Burleson.

Now, after this, there was a bond hearing, I believe; is that correct?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

And who sat at the counsel table with Mr. Ruby, your brother?

Mrs. Grant.

I know you were there and I know Mr. Brody and Tonahill, Mr. Belli--I think Tom Howard was -there right along then.

Mr. Burleson.

And then, that actually was on one occasion or on two occasions that that bend hearing was held; or do you recall?

Mrs. Grant.

It seems to me a couple of times---maybe more than that.

Mr. Burleson.

Then bond was denied?

Mrs. Grant.

That's right.

Mr. Burleson.

Then, at the time of .the change of venue, do you know who the attorneys were at that time?

Mrs. Grant.

It seems to me the same group were still there.

Mr. Burleson.

Do you recall about that time if anything occurred in connection with Tom Howard and his connection with the case?

Mrs. Grant.

About the picture?

Mr. Burleson.

No; just about whether or not he continued in the case or did he?

Mrs. Grant.

It seems to me at that time he was leaking information to the district attorney's office, he was in the way of Mr. Belli and Mr. Tonahill--at least they felt that or they told me that. We had found a mistrust in him, which is close to that time as I can remember, where information has come to us that Tom Howard is trying to sell a picture of the late President Kennedy being shot and haft of his skull is in the air, to Life magazine, and I think Billy Woodfield had told that to Earl and Earl told me to get ahold of the Secret Service, they came out to see me and Elmer Moore, and another gentle-man--I cannot think of the other gentleman's name he probably could recall--and we went in the alley because I don't know if my place is bugged or not, and the Secret Service stepped in to either squash the sale of this particular picture or got ahold of it--the films and everything, and, of course, when Belli found out, he was sick because he said it don't look right for an attorney representing a person to do something like this.
