Mr. Kantor.

recorder and then played the tape recorder back and wrote it down by means of typewriter.

Mr. Hubert.

So that this typing on Exhibit No. 4 is actually your own typing?

Mr. Kantor.

It is my own typing.

Mr. Hubert.

It is not a stenographer or typist?

Mr. Kantor.

No, sir; it is mine.

Mr. Hubert.

And it came from the tape, and you dictated into the tape recorder over a week's time all of this material?

Mr. Kantor.

That is right.

Mr. Hubert.

All right, sir. Have you read this recently?

Mr. Kantor.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

But can you state to us that it represents your best recollection of what occurred?

Mr. Kantor.

It would be a better recollection than I could give you now on anything which transpired.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. With your permission, sir, then we will hold these, have them photostated, and return the originals to you.

Mr. Kantor.

Yes; that is all right.

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Kantor, you have handed us a small Penway brand spiral-backed memo book in which there are 9 pages, each page, of course, having a front and a back, and I ask you whether the notes on those pages of this book that I have identified, and now further identify as Exhibit No. 5 of the deposition of Seth Kantor, June 3, 1964, if those notes are in your handwriting.
(The document referred to was marked Seth Kantor Exhibit No. 5 for identification.)

Mr. Kantor.

Yes; they are.

Mr. Hubert.

Were they made contemporaneously with the events to which they refer?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes; they were made contemporaneously with the events.

Mr. Hubert.

I think the record shows that it has been identified as Exhibit No. 5 of your deposition. And here, again, with reference to Exhibit No. 5, we will have photostats made of the back and front of all these pages, and then return the book to you.

I notice on the first page of Exhibit No. 5 that you have the name Mrs. Michael R. Paine. Does that indicate that there was an interview with her?

Mr. Kantor.

The interview took place at her residence on the outskirts of Dallas late in the afternoon on a Thursday, one week after Thanksgiving.

Mr. Hubert.

How many pages of Exhibit No. 5 relate to notes made of the interview of Mrs. Paine?

Mr. Kantor.

Twelve pages.

Mr. Hubert.

I think, with your permission, we ought to number these pages. I will start off by numbering the first page as it appears in the book as "1" on the bottom, and then the reverse of that "2", and I am putting these numerals in a circle, up to 12. I understand your .testimony to be that the notes which appear on pages Exhibit No. 5 which have now been numbered i through 12 all relate to the interview of Mrs. Paine taken on the Thursday after Thanksgiving of 1963.

Mr. Kantor.

That is correct.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I am marking the rest of the pages as follows, by putting the numbers in a circle at the bottom, beginning with 13 up to and including 17 and ask you the relationship of those notes or those pages to any particular event.

Mr. Kantor.

They relate to notes, they are notes, that I made regarding Mrs. Tippit, the wife of the police officer in Dallas who was slain.

Mr. Hubert.

When were those notes made?

Mr. Kantor.

They were made the day after I spoke with Mrs. Paine, Friday.

Mr. Hubert.

Friday of what--

Mr. Kantor.

This would be eight days after Thanksgiving, yes. I believe it was December 6th.

Mr. Hubert.

I show you a calendar of 1963 and ask you if it is not a fact that Thanksgiving was on the 28th of November, that Thursday after Thanks-
