(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Was the document that arrested your attention the typed document or was it the document that is before you?
Mrs. Paine.
I never saw the typed document. It was the document that is before me, which I take to be a rough draft of what he typed.
Mr. Jenner.
And you said you made a duplicate of the document. Did you make a duplicate in longhand or on your typewriter?
Mrs. Paine.
I made a duplicate in longhand.
Mr. Jenner.
But you do have a present recollection that this, Commission Exhibit No. 103 for identification, is the document which you saw in your home on your desk secretary?
Mrs. Paine.
That is right,
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 103 the document---oh, it is already in evidence. I withdraw that offer.
Senator Cooper.
It is in evidence.
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Redlich informs me, Mr. Chairman, that the document has already been admitted in evidence.
Now, would you follow me as I go through these? There has been marked as Commission's Exhibit 430, which is the mark at the moment for identification, what purports to be a floor plan outline of the Paine home at 2515 Fifth Street, Irving, Tex., and the witness made reference to that yesterday close to the close of her testimony yesterday afternoon. Directing your attention to that exhibit, is that an accurate floor plan outline of your home at 2515 Fifth Street, Irving, Tex.?
Mrs. Paine.
It is an approximately accurate floor plan.
Mr. Jenner.
And is it properly entitled, that is, are the rooms and sections of the home properly entitled?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; they are.
Mr. Jenner.
And does it accurately reflect the door openings, the hallways in your home and the garage?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; it is perfectly accurate.
Mr. Jenner.
I think one thing only needs some. explanation. In the upper left-hand corner of the floor plan outline, there is a square space which has no lettering to identify that space. It is the area immediately to the left of the of what is designated as kitchen-dining area.
Mrs. Paine.
Yes. That space is all one room with that which is designated kitchen-dining area. That is one large room.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. So that even though on the floor plan outline the words "kitchen-dining area" appear in the right half of that space, that lettering and wording is to apply to all the space?
Mrs. Paine.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
And the driveway about which you testified is that portion of the ground outline which has the circle with the figure "8" and an arrow, is that right?
Mrs. Paine.
That is the driveway.
Mr. Jenner.
And the driveway is where the car was parked because the garage always had too many things in it to get your car in?
Mrs. Paine.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
Referring to Commission Exhibit No. 431 for identification, is that a front view of your home?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you present when the picture was taken?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; I was.
Mr. Jenner.
Commission Exhibit 432, is that a rear view of your home?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. Paine.
Probably. I don't recall.
Mr. Jenner.
But that is an accurate depiction?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Of the rear of your home?
Mrs. Paine.
It is certainly accurate.
Mr. Jenner.
And showing some of your yard. The next Exhibit 433, is that view of the east side of your home?
