(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Perhaps we will have to have it interpreted by someone else. It looks like a "4" to me, but it may be a "1." This birthday, October 18, 1939. The age last birthday 24, and then under "occupation" appears the word I have already related. Sex, male; color of eyes, gray; weight, 146 pounds; race, the letter "C"; color of hair, brown; height, 5 foot 9 inches.
Mr. Mccloy.
Were you about to comment?
Mrs. Paine.
I was interested in his comment on his race.
Mr. Jenner.
I assume C means Caucasian. There are a series of questions, printed questions on the form, and he answered them, they are from 1 to 12, as follows:
"Question No. 1" he answers in the negative, "Have you ever held a Texas license?"
Question No. 2. All these are in the negative.
"Have you ever been examined for a Texas license?
"Have you ever held a license in any other State?
"Have you ever been denied a license?
"Has your license and driving privilege ever been suspended, revoked, or canceled?
"Have you ever been convicted of driving while intoxicated, failure to stop and render aid, aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, negligent homicide with a motor vehicle or murder with a motor vehicle?"
All answered in the negative.
"Have you ever been convicted of any other moving traffic violation?
"Have you ever been involved as a driver in a motor vehicle accident?
"Have you ever been subject to losses of consciousness or muscular control?
"Have you ever been addicted to the use of intoxicating liquor or narcotic drugs?
"Do you have any physical or mental defects?"
And, lastly: "Have you ever been a patient in a hospital for mental illness?"
The side as to the driving record, that is the reverse side, nothing appears thereon, and nothing in any portion of the form which deals with the record of his examination.
I am a little at a loss, Mr. Chairman, as to whether I should offer this in evidence at the present moment, because it is a document found among his effects in his room, and my statement of fact would be pure hearsay.
Mr. Mccloy.
How did we get in possession of it?
Mr. Jenner.
It was supplied to us by the FBI.
The document was turned over to the FBI. May I withhold offering the document in evidence? We may have another witness who will be able to qualify it.
Mr. Mccloy.
Who can identify it?
Mr. Jenner.
I am sure we will have a witness. We do want the document in evidence.
[Commission Exhibit No. 426 is also Commission Exhibit No. 112, vol. I, p. 113.]
Identifying as Commission Exhibit 427 a form of employee identification questionnaire of the Jaggars- Chiles-Stovall Co. Please examine Exhibit 427. I direct your attention to the signature in the lower left-hand corner. Are you familiar with that signature?
Mrs. Paine.
I can't say I am familiar with it.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever have any discussion with Lee Oswald relating to his obtaining of a position with Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And when did that discussion occur?
Mrs. Paine.
In New Orleans on the second trip, the end of September, when we talked about the possibility of Marina's coming back to have the baby in Texas where they could qualify as one year residents, he equipped me to show that he had been in Texas, and in Dallas for a year by giving me a receipt or part of a paycheck, I don't know just what it was, with the Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall name on it, in October.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the purpose--
Mrs. Paine.
He was supplying me with documents that would admit her to Parkland Hospital as a patient. He gave me his--
Mr. Jenner.
To show the necessary--
