Mr. Burleson.

All right. Anyway--somewhere around there----

Mr. Hubert.

May I examine her just a little on that point?

Mr. Burleson.

Yes; go ahead.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ever find out whether it was true that Mr. Howard was doing this?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, since then I heard it was true, but doubly true there's some girl that works for one of your departments who heard and who told another person that there is evidence there is a picture of that kind in existence.

Mr. Hubert.

You have never seen the picture?

Mrs. Grant.

No; I haven't. I also heard several days before the assassination there was a pamphlet put in all the drugstores where you sell magazines and was distributed all through the city of Dallas with the late President's picture, and the top of its says, "Wanted" and the bottom had a number like a jailman, you know, a convict, and the day of the assassination, early that afternoon these distributors had a devil of a time trying to remember all the places they placed that particular pamphlet, that was for sale for 10 cents or 15 cents.

Mr. Burleson.

Come back up to his question.

Mr. Hubert.

I just wanted to explore whether or not it had come to your knowledge whether the story was the truth or not?

Mrs. Grant.

This all came to me call me back on the word "communism" that I said later on, if you want?

Mr. Burleson.

Do you know anything else about this alleged sale of the picture?

Mrs. Grant.

Nothing, but Earl told me to get ahold of the men here and I did and I called the office and Elmer Moore came out and I told him.

Mr. Burleson.

All right. Coming back--along-about this time did you, Earl, and Stanley Kaufman and so forth enter into some kind of a contract with Mr. Howard where he would withdraw from the case?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

Did you pay him some money?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes; the first week he was in, I had a little money and I think it was when I sold the Vegas Club and I think I had $1,600 and I had bills to pay but I didn't pay them and I gave him $200.

Mr. Burleson.

At the time that you terminated his services in the case, did you pay him some money then?

Mrs. Grant.

We gave him a check for $2,000--we gave him $2,700 altogether, but I gave him $2,000 when he signed the contract to step out of the case.

Mr. Burleson.

Now, when the change of venue hearing started----

Mrs. Grant.

By the way, when I say "I gave him"--that money came also out of the $23,000.

Mr. Burleson.

Now, when the change of venue started and the picking of the jury followed, who were the attorneys then that were sitting there at the counsel table?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, Belli, Tonahill and yourself--I don't remember--I think Sam Brody was sick and went home. However, Mr. Belli brought in a young gentleman who came and sat for a while.

Mr. Burleson.

Could that have been Mr. Bill Choulous?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

And that was out of Mr. Belli's office?

Mrs. Grant.

That's right.

Mr. Burleson.

Then, when it got into the actual trial of the case after the change of venue lasted about a week, who were the attorneys then during the picking of the jury ?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, Mr. Burleson, Mr. Joe Tonahill, and Mr. Belli did all the work from picking the jury and through the trial.

Mr. Burleson.

The three of them?

Mrs. Grant.

The three of them.

Mr. Burleson.

And they continued on through the trial?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Burleson.

And they were the only ones sitting with Jack Ruby at the time of the verdict?
