(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine Resumed)
Mr. Jenner.
As soon as you answered he asked for Marina?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he identify himself?
Mrs. Paine.
No; but I am certain he knew that I knew who he was.
Mr. Jenner.
You recognized his voice, did you?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
You called her to the phone.
Did you hear her end of the conversation?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What took place by way of-- of conversation?
Mrs. Paine.
She said, "Hurray, he has got a job." Immediately telling me as she still talked to the telephone that he had been accepted for work at the school book depository and thanks to me and she said, "We must thank Mrs. Randle."
Mr. Jenner.
Did you return to the telephone and speak with him?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You did not. Where was he residing then, did you know?
Mrs. Paine.
No; I did not know.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you had any information that he was not residing at the YMCA?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
How did you come by that information?
Mrs. Paine.
He gave me a telephone number, possibly this same weekend.
Mr. Jenner.
That is of importance, Mrs. Paine. Would you give us the circumstances, please?
Mrs. Paine.
He said that he was at a--
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me, where was he when he said this?
Mrs. Paine.
He was at the home so far as I remember. It might have been during one of his telephone calls to the house, but I don't think so. He rarely talked with me when he was out.
Mr. Jenner.
This would be the weekend of what?
Mrs. Paine.
So this must have been the weekend of the 12th of October, the same weekend.
Mr. Jenner.
That was the weekend following his return to Dallas on the 7th of October?
Mrs. Paine.
Fourth of October.
Mr. Jenner.
He departed on the 7th.
Mrs. Paine.
His return to Dallas, I am sorry.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; now, give it as chronologically as you can; how you came by that telephone number, the circumstances under which it was given to you.
Mrs. Paine.
He said this is the telephone number.
Mr. Jenner.
Was Marina present?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes. He said of the room where he was staying, renting a room, and I could reach him here if she went into labor.
Mr. Jenner.
I see, the coming of the baby was imminent?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
When was the baby expected?
Mrs. Paine.
Any time after the first week in October. Any time, in other words.
Mr. Jenner.
The obstetrician predicted the birth of the child as when?
Mrs. Paine.
As due on the 22d.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Marina have a different notion?
Mrs. Paine.
She thought it might be due around the 8th.
Mr. Jenner.
So there was a considerable variance in the expectation between the date and when the baby actually did arrive? When did the baby actually arrive?
Mrs. Paine.
On the 20th of October, a Sunday.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he give you more than one telephone number?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
At this occasion did he give you more than one telephone number?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
