Mr. Jenner.

And you undressed the children and placed them in the crib or bed and you say that normally takes approximately an hour?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And you remained in the bedroom during all of that 1 hour period?

Mrs. Paine.

Well, I wouldn't be certain of that no. I also prepare a bottle which involves going to the kitchen, and heating milk. I also chase my children. They don't always just stay in the bedroom.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you see Lee Harvey Oswald either in or about your home from time to time during this hour period that you were preparing your children for sleep that evening?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't recall specifically except that I was aware he was in the home.

Senator Cooper.

How would you be aware he was in the home?

Mrs. Paine.

I would have noticed it if he had gone out the door it seems to me, out the front door. One can easily hear, and that would be an unusual thing.

Mr. Jenner.

Why would it be unusual?

Mrs. Paine.

Well, he never did go out the front door in the evening.

Mr. Jenner.

Once he entered your home his normal practice was to stay inside?

Mrs. Paine.

Was to turn on the television set and sit.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he turn on the television set?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't believe he watched television that evening.

Mr. Jenner.

Could you tell us of any awareness on your part of his presence in the home, that is you were definitely conscious that he remained inside the house?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And was not out in the yard?

Senator Cooper.

How would you know that?

Mrs. Paine.

It is a small house. You can hear if the front door or the back door opens. But I can't be absolutely certain.

Senator Cooper.

Is what you are saying that you don't remember, or rather that you don't remember that the front door or the back door did open?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right. I am also saying there is very little about that evening that stood out as unusual. I have tried to say what I could think of that did stand out as unusual. I think the rest melds together with other evenings which were similar.

Senator Cooper.

I don't want to interrupt you but I think she has got to tell what she remembers that evening.

Mr. Mccloy.

Yes. I think without the meticulous minute by minute, just say what it is.

Senator Cooper.

If you don't remember, you don't remember.

Mrs. Paine.

I am sorry.

Mr. Mccloy.

You can't break it down into sequence that far back?

Senator Cooper.

Just tell what you remember.

Mr. Jenner.

Go ahead and tell us, Mrs. Paine, the course of events that evening, with particular reference to what we are interested in, what Lee Oswald did and where he was during the course of that evening.

Mrs. Paine.

I have already said that after I had my children in bed, I went to the garage to work.

Mr. Jenner.

Was it now nighttime?

Mrs. Paine.

It was now dark, I recall about 9 o'clock, I noticed that the light was on.

Mr. Jenner.

Was the door to the garage open?

Mrs. Paine.

No; it was closed.

Mr. Jenner.

It was closed. And you noticed the light on when you opened the door.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Had the light been on at anytime to your knowledge prior to that?

Mrs. Paine.

Not that evening; no.
