Mrs. Grant.

said we got the right man. He had three draft cards and a bunch of stuff. defected. That is what it seems to me in my mind. If I could get the tape. And I was still tuned to channel 8.
Jack came in with enough food--

Mr. Griffin.

If I understand you correctly, when he came to your house at 2:30, at that time you mentioned to him to get some food?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Then he went down to the club and called you from the club, and again you mentioned to him to get the food?

Mrs. Grant.

Because he called me to see how I was.

Mr. Griffin.

Had you had lunch that day?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, you can't call it--because my breakfast is coffee and cookies or something light. The neighbor could have brought me up a sweet roll. Her name is Betty Goodman. She has done things like that, and has been very kind.

Mr. Griffin.

Was anybody else at your apartment when Jack came back the next time?

Mrs. Grant.

Unless it was Betty. I am sure she came when I started screaming over the telephone, "The President is dead."

Mr. Griffin.

Did you call her on the telephone to tell her?

Mrs. Grant.

No; Pauline Hall called her and said I am having a fit or something.

Mr. Griffin.

Then did Mrs. Goodman come up to your apartment?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes; she was up much earlier. She came up, I think it was, 10 o'clock. That is how I got the paper, because I don't get the paper.

Mr. Griffin.

After Pauline Hall called and said you were having a fit, did she come up again?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes; she stayed, and well, she thinks I am very emotional or something wrong. She is of a different temperament, and she said, "Do you think you. will be all right?" Now, after that, my brother came up.

Mr. Griffin.

But Mrs Goodman came up to your apartment after you learned that the President had died?

Mrs. Grant.

Sometime; I would say, very shortly.

Mr. Grant.

How long did she remain?

Mrs. Grant.

Not too long. I think 5 minutes. Five minutes or 7 minutes. You know, not long.

Mr. Grant.

How long after Mrs. Goodman, did Jack arrive?

Mrs. Grant.

This is the first time you are talking about? It could have been an hour. It could have been 40 minutes. It wasn't 3 hours.

Mr. Griffin.

Could it have been 2 hours?

Mrs. Grant.

I think it was a terrible day. How could anyone I mean I can't remember.

Mr. Griffin.

If you can't remember?

Mrs. Grant.

Listen; that was not a normal day. First of all, I wasn't watching the clock. I wasn't watching for anything.

Mr. Griffin.

When Jack came back to your apartment the second time, what did he have with him?

Mrs. Grant.

Enough groceries for 20 people.

Mr. Griffin.

What did he have? How many grocery bags did he have?

Mrs. Grant.

He went down to the car to get another load of it. You figure it out. Six big bottles of pop, or whatever you call it. A pound of corned beef. A pound of tongue. He had four meats, a pound of each.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he have--

Mrs. Grant.

A pound of lox, which is smoked salmon, and some smoked fish, and he bought onions and oranges and a variety of six different kinds of cakes.

Mr. Griffin.

Were they things that he would have gotten at the Ritz Delicatessen?

Mrs. Grant.

All but the vegetables. He bought vegetables and fruit.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he tell you where he got those?

Mrs. Grant.

I didn't ask him.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you have a grocery store that you regularly shopped at?
