(Testimony of James Herbert Martin Resumed)

Mr. Redlich.
of the letter which you received requesting certain notes, records, documents in connection with today's hearing. Have you made available to the Commission all of the material which was requested in that letter?
Mr. Martin.
Yes, sir; I went through everything I had at home, and could find nothing else.
Mr. Redlich.
If you should find anything else which you inadvertently failed to bring before this Commission, will you mail it to us for examination and we will return it to you.
Mr. Martin.
Yes, sir; there is a Worker that I have.
Mr. Redlich.
You mean by Worker the Daily Worker?
Mr. Martin.
Yes. I think they dropped the "Daily."
Mr. Dulles.
They are no longer daily.
Mr. Martin.
It is called the Worker now. It has quite a lengthy article about Marina in it, and I will send that to you.
Mr. Redlich.
And you will send anything that you may come across which you may have inadvertently failed to produce before this Commission?
Mr. Martin.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Redlich.
I have no further questions, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Dulles.
There were some questions that Senator Cooper had suggested.

I don't know, have you looked those over? Have they been covered?
Mr. Rankin.
Yes.
Mr. Redlich.
Those have been covered.
Mr. Dulles.
All been covered?
Mr. Redlich.
Yes.
Mr. Dulles.
Did Marina ever express to you her opinion as to the guilt or innocence of her husband in connection with the assassination of the President?
Mr. Martin.
Yes.
Mr. Dulles.
What did she say?
Mr. Martin.
She believes he was guilty. She believes he did it, and the first time she said it I questioned her as to why she thought he did it, and she said she just felt it. It was a woman's intuition. She didn't know the word intuition at that time. I had to look it up in the Russian-English Dictionary.
Mr. Dulles.
Did she indicate any view as to whether he did it alone or had an accomplice or accomplices?
Mr. Martin.
She remarked about the Walker incident, that that was definitely done alone, and that he always was alone. He never did anything with anyone else. I don't recall that she mentioned that specifically in the case of the assassination of the President But she had made that remark before or during the interim about Walker.
Mr. Dulles.
Did she ever at any time express to you any interest in returning to the Soviet Union or her desire to stay in the United States?
Mr. Martin.
Well, she has always said that she wanted to stay in the United Sates. One time she said that she thought she would go back to Russia, and I asked her why and she said, well, she was just joking.
Mr. Dulles.
Did she ever refer to you any letters she wrote to the Soviet Embassy with regard to a desire to return?
Mr. Martin.
No. There was only one incident that she told me about was a letter to a friend in Russia.
Mr. Dulles.
You mentioned that I think.
Mr. Martin.
Yes.
Mr. Dulles.
The one that she didn't put enough stamps on, enough postage on.
Mr. Martin.
Yes, it came back "insufficient postage."
Mr. Dulles.
Did she ever mention to you any names of any friends or associates of her husband that had not been discussed here at one time or another in this testimony, including the list of names that was read out to you?
Mr. Martin.
No.
Mr. Dulles.
Do you know any other friends that Marina has other than those that have been discussed in this testimony?
Mr. Martin.
No. I was trying to think a while ago about that, and I can't think of anyone else.
Mr. Dulles.
That is all I have.
