Mrs. Paine.

Yes, it is.

Mr. Jenner.

And give us the best recollection you have when you first saw it.

Mrs. Paine.

My best recollection is that I saw it on the floor of my garage sometime in late October.

Mr. Jenner.

1963?

Mrs. Paine.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have a recollection of ever having seen it before that time?

Mrs. Paine.

No. I might say also now that I know certainly I have never seen this binding until last night.

Mr. Jenner.

When you say "this binding," you are pointing to what appears to be some black binding?

Mrs. Paine.

Some hemstitching, it is sewn.

Mr. Jenner.

On the edge of the blanket.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes. This binding was not apparent, did not show.

Mr. Jenner.

You never noticed the binding before, if the binding had always been on it, is that what you mean to say?

Mrs. Paine.

When I saw the blanket the binding was not showing.

Representative Ford.

How carefully did you analyze the blanket on the previous occasions?

Mrs. Paine.

I stepped over it. I didn't pick it up or look at it closely.

Representative Ford.

Didn't turn it over?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Representative Ford.

Didn't move it?

Mrs. Paine.

No, I didn't.

Representative Ford.

So you only saw one surface more or less?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes, only one surface, except I saw that it had been moved.

Representative Ford.

But you didn't move it yourself?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

In what shape, that is form, was the blanket when you first saw it? And I take it you first saw it in your garage.

Mrs. Paine.

That is my recollection.

Mr. Jenner.

And it was subsequent to the time that you and Marina had returned to Irving?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And you are certain that you did not see the blanket in your station wagon when you arrived in Irving?

Mrs. Paine.

I do not recall seeing the blanket in my station wagon.

Mr. Jenner.

And you didn't see it in their apartment at 4907 Magazine Street when you were there?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't recall seeing it there.

Mr. Jenner.

Either in the spring or in the fall, is that true?

Mrs. Paine.

That is true.

Mr. Jenner.

Now tell us--I take it from your testimony that the blanket, when you first saw it in a garage, was in a configuration in the form of a package?

Mrs. Paine.

It was a long rectangle shape with the ends tucked in.

Mr. Jenner.

Would. you be good enough to re-form that blanket so that it is in the shape and the dimension when you first saw it?

Mrs. Paine.

About like so.

Mr. Jenner.

For the record if you please, Mr. Chairman, the length of the form is just exactly 45 inches, and it is across exactly 12 inches.

Representative Ford.

That is across lying flat.

Mr. Jenner.

Across lying flat, thank you.
Now, what else about the form of the blanket did you notice on the occasion when you first saw it on your garage floor? Anything else?

Mrs. Paine.

I recall from either that occasion or another that there were parallel strings around it.

Mr. Jenner.

Tied?

Mrs. Paine.

Into a bundle, yes, 3 or 4.

Mr. Jenner.

How many were there?

Mrs. Paine.

3 or 4, I don't recall.

Mr. Jenner.

3 or 4
