Mrs. Paine.

The deepfreeze is in the garage. I don't recall having gone, but I go all the time for goods for the baby, for my little boy.

Mr. Jenner.

And did you use anything from the deepfreeze normally, in connection with the preparation of an evening meal?

Mrs. Paine.

I could have gone out then too.

Mr. Jenner.

Though you don't recall it specifically, it is possible that you went into the garage.

Mrs. Paine.

It is possible.

Mr. Jenner.

Garage area.

Senator Cooper.

But you don't remember?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't remember. This is something I do as habit.

Mr. Jenner.

It is so much habit that you don't single it out?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

In any event, if you entered the garage, it was pursuant to a normal practice of preparing dinner and not because you were seeking to look for something out of the ordinary?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

Or that your attention was arrested by something out of the ordinary?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

After the dinner hour or half hour, whatever it took, what did you do? Let's take say the 1-hour period following your dinner?

Mrs. Paine.

I was busy putting my children to bed.

Mr. Jenner.

Where were you located during that period of time?

Mrs. Paine.

I normally read them a story in the bedroom which is the back bedroom on the north side.

Senator Cooper.

Did you do it that evening?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Senator Cooper.

Not normally but do you remember that you did it?

Mrs. Paine.

I am certain I read them a story.

Senator Cooper.

What?

Mrs. Paine.

I am certain I read them a story. Whether they also had a bath that night I can't remember.

Mr. Jenner.

Now being in your children's bedroom, which I take it was also your bedroom--

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

That would be the rear portion of your home at the corner?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

When you were in that room, what can you see with respect to other portions of your home?

Mrs. Paine.

The view from the bedroom door.

Mr. Jenner.

Looking into what?

Mrs. Paine.

Looking west looks into the kitchen-dining area right past the doorway entrance to the garage.

Mr. Jenner.

Can you see into the living room area of your home?

Mrs. Paine.

From that doorway you can; yes.

Mr. Jenner.

If you stand in the doorway, I take it you can do so.

Mrs. Paine.

But sitting on the bed reading a story; no.

Mr. Jenner.

But if you stood in the middle of the room and looked out that doorway from your bedroom, you would look into the kitchen area, not into the living room area?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.
Mr. JENNER. How long did you remain in your bedroom putting your children to bed?
Mrs. PAINE. That process can take as much as an hour and often does.
Mr. JENNER. Give us your very best recollection of how long it took this evening?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't recall specifically how long.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it your recollection that you pursued your normal course in getting them to bed. You read a story, I take it, did you?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.
