(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine)
Mrs. Paine.
It is.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you turn to the diary page to which I have reference in connection with the first meeting with Marina Oswald, and that is what month and what page and what date?
Mrs. Paine.
It is on the page for February, and the only thing I can--
Mr. Jenner.
February what year?
Mrs. Paine.
February 1963.
Mr. Jenner.
And the day please?
Mrs. Paine.
There is a notation on the 22d of February.
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me, there is a square with the figure 22 in it indicating February 22, 1963. Do you have something written in there?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What is written in there?
Mrs. Paine.
It says "Everett's?"
Mr. Jenner.
Is that all there is in that square?
Mrs. Paine.
That is all.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you explain that and how it related to what you are now telling us?
Mrs. Paine.
I believe it refers to the invitation to come to his home. As I recall, he telephoned me twice, first to say that they might get together a group of people, hence the question mark. Then he called again to say they were going to have a party, and to make the invitation definite.
Mr. Jenner.
Now you used the expression "I believe." Is that your best recollection at the moment?
Mrs. Paine.
That is my best recollection.
Mr. Jenner.
And I went over this with you this morning and you gave me the same explanation, did you not?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Now did that event take place?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And what is your best recollection as to the day of the month it took place?
Mrs. Paine.
I have no other way of guessing when it was except to assume that this notation means it was on the 22d of February.
Mr. Jenner.
And that does represent your present best recollection refreshed to the extent it is refreshed by the memorandum before you?
Mrs. Paine.
That is right, and of course this first--
Mr. Jenner.
What day of the week was that?
Mrs. Paine.
That was a Friday.
Mr. Jenner.
Friday night. You attended the party did you not?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes, I did.
Mr. Mccloy.
I believe you used the word Friday. I don't believe she did, Friday night. You said Friday night.
Mrs. Paine.
It was Friday evening.
Mr. Jenner.
Friday evening?
Mrs. Paine.
The 22d was Friday. I don't recall.
Mr. Mccloy.
You used the word "evening"?
Mrs. Paine.
It was an evening party.
Mr. Jenner.
It was held in Mr. Glover's home was--
Mrs. Paine.
Yes, it was.
Mr. Jenner.
Where is his home?
Mrs. Paine.
At that time he was living in the Highland Park section of Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
How far from your home is that?
Mrs. Paine.
Half hour drive.
Mr. Jenner.
By what means did you get to Mr. Glover's home?
Mrs. Paine.
I drove.
Mr. Jenner.
You owned or then had, or maybe you still have a station wagon?
Mrs. Paine.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
Is it the same car still?
Mrs. Paine.
It is the same car.
Mr. Jenner.
And when you arrived, were either of the Oswalds present?
