Mrs. Paine.

I didn't hear the question.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he say anything about amount

Mrs. Paine.

No; he didn't, just less.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mrs. Paine.

And the subject of his looking for work and that he hadn't found work for a week, came up while we were having coffee, the four young mothers at Mrs. Roberts' house, and Mrs. Randle mentioned that her younger brother, Wesley Frazier thought they needed another person at the Texas School Book Depository where Wesley worked.
Marina then asked me, after we had gone home, asked me if I would call--

Mr. Jenner.

Was Marina present during this discussion?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; Marina was present, yes, indeed.

Mr. Jenner.

Did she understand the conversation?

Mrs. Paine.

It was a running translation, running, faulty translation going on.

Mr. Jenner.

You were translating for her?

Mrs. Paine.

I was acting as her translator. And then after we came home she asked me if I would call the School Book Depository to see if indeed there was the possibility of an opening, and at her request, I did telephone--

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me, please.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

While you were still in the Roberts' home was there any discussion at all of the subject mentioned by you or by Mrs. Randle or Mrs. Roberts or anyone else, of calls to be made, or that might be made, to the Texas School Book Depository in this connection?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't recall this discussion. As I recall it was a suggestion made by Marina to me after we got home, but I may be wrong.

Mr. Jenner.

But that is your best recollection that you are now testifying?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that correct?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

You reached home and Marina suggested that "Would you please call the Texas School Depository?"

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

What did you do?

Mrs. Paine.

I looked up the number in the book, and dialed it, was told I would need to speak to Mr. Truly, who was at the warehouse. The phone was taken to Mr. Truly, and I talked with him and said--

Mr. Jenner.

You mean the call was transferred by the operator?

Mrs. Paine.

To Mr. Truly, and I said I know of a young man whose wife was staying in my house, the wife was expecting a child, they already had a little girl and he had been out of work for a while and was very interested in getting any employment and his name, and was there a possibility of an opening there, and Mr. Truly said he didn't know whether he had an opening, that the young man should apply himself in person.

Mr. Jenner.

Which made sense.

Mrs. Paine.

Made very good sense for a personnel man to say.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you make more than one call to this Texas School Book Depository?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

Only the one?

Mrs. Paine.

Only the one.

Mr. Jenner.

What was the date of this call?

Mrs. Paine.

Reconstructing it, I believe it was October 14.

Mr. Jenner.

What day of the week is October 14?

Mrs. Paine.

It is a Monday.

Mr. Jenner.

Following that call and your talking with Mr. Truly, what did you do?

Mrs. Paine.

Began to get dinner. Then Lee call the house.

Mr. Jenner.

In the evening?

Mrs. Paine.

In the early evening.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you talk with him?

Mrs. Paine.

Marina talked with him, then asked--then Marina asked me to
