Mr. Martin.

No. We were I think John Thorne and I were talking about at sometime we may need an interpreter, and I mentioned his name in that instance.

Mr. Redlich.

That would be the elder Mr. Gregory?

Mr. Martin.

Yes. But nothing on Paul Gregory.

Mr. Redlich.

Nothing on Paul Gregory?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Are you aware of the fact that Paul Gregory is a student at the University of Oklahoma?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Did Marina ever discuss with you the fact that she had helped tutor the son of Peter Gregory?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Are you familiar with--strike that.
Do you have any personal acquaintanceship with Gary Taylor?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Have you ever heard the name of Gary Taylor?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Marina Oswald has never discussed that name with you?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Do you know Mrs. Elena Hall?

Mr. Martin.

Elena Hall? No.

Mr. Redlich.

Has Marina ever discussed her with you?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

The name John R. Hall, who is the husband of Mrs. Elena Hall?

Mr. Martin.

No, it sounded a little familiar but I can't place anything on it.

Mr. Redlich.

Do you know Mrs. Katherine Ford?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Redlich.

Could you tell us how you came to know her?

Mr. Martin.

Let's see, she had contacted Marina a couple of times by letter and--

Representative Ford.

While she was staying at your home?

Mr. Martin.

Yes--well, she sent the letter to Grand Prairie, the letters, Christmas cards, and I think two letters after that. So I called her and Marina wanted to, expressed a desire to, talk to her. So I called her and Marina talked to her on the phone. I think every time she talked to her she talked nearly an hour.

Representative Ford.

In Russian or in English?

Mr. Martin.

In Russian.

Mr. Dulles.

Was it on the telephone?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Redlich.

Did Marina ever tell you the gist of these conversations?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Did Marina ever relate to you whether she had ever lived in Mrs. Ford's home?

Mr. Martin.

I believe she had for a very short time.

Mr. Redlich.

You mean Marina related this to you?

Mr. Martin.

I think Mrs. Ford told me that.

Mr. Redlich.

How did you get this knowledge, from Marina or from Mrs. Ford? Did you ever discuss this with Marina?

Mr. Martin.

No. I know Marina likes her home, I mean likes the house that they live in.

Mr. Redlich.

Did you ever ask Marina how it came about that she was

separated from her husband and living at the home of Mrs. Ford?

Mr. Martin.

No.

Mr. Redlich.

Did any of Marina's other Russian-speaking friends in the Dallas-Fort Worth area write letters to her while she was at your home?

Mr. Martin.

Mrs. Paine wrote at least once a week and--

Mr. Dulles.

Once a week?

Mr. Martin.

Yes. Marina did not answer, didn't answer any of the letters and didn't call her.

Mr. Redlich.

Did Mrs. Paine attempt to reach Marina by phone?
