Mr. Adamcik.

I don't recall.

Mr. Belin.

Well, did they take you out to the garage?

Mr. Adamcik.

Not me. They took two of---some of the officers. I think it was Detectives Stovall and Rose, to the garage. I think it was through Mrs. Oswald that she went ahead and told Mrs. Paine something, and Mrs. Paine drew their attention to the garage.

Mr. Belin.

Did anyone say anything about a rifle?

Mr. Adamcik.

I didn't hear it. I wasn't present when they went in the garage at all.

Mr. Belin.

All right, what did you do?

Mr. Adamcik.

Well, we stayed in the house for a good while, and we called, or one of our men called in the office, I didn't, and asked them what they should do. And of course they told them to bring the people in, that they wanted to talk to them at the office. And we told them about it and they agreed that they would go. And of course our problem was the children. There was some children, both of Mrs. Oswald's children were there, and I don't remember, I believe Mrs. Paine's were there, and we wondered where they would stay, or make some arrangements for the neighbors to keep them or not, and if I remember correctly, after we were there a while, Michael Paine, Mrs. Paine's husband came in. We have it here someplace what time it was.

Mr. Belin.

Did you hear what Michael Paine said when he came in?

Mr. Adamcik.

Yes. He came in about 3:45 and told his wife that he heard the President was shot and he came over to see whether he could help, and they were surprised.

Mr. Belin.

When he said he heard the President was shot and he came over to see if he could help, why would he help her if the President was shot?

Mr. Adamcik.

I don't know. Apparently in the affidavit, I was present.
Later on he said that his first idea when he heard that the President was shot was that Oswald could have been the one that done it, when he found out about the location, so apparently he figured that somebody would be over there questioning them.

Mr. Belin.

All right, then what happened?

Mr. Adamcik.

Well, we went through the house, if I remember correctly, and I believe the other detectives found some property. I know they found this blanket that was rolled up in the garage.

Mr. Belin.

Were you there when they saw the blanket?

Mr. Adamcik.

No; I wasn't there. I saw the blanket later.

Mr. Belin.

Where was it when you first saw it?

Mr. Adamcik.

I believe they took it in the house. I am pretty sure.

Mr. Belin.

Had they unrolled the blanket when they took it in the house?

Mr. Adamcik.

No; they had a string still tied around it. Apparently had two strings, and just one of the strings were cut.

Mr. Belin.

One of the strings was cut?

Mr. Adamcik.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Who cut it, do you know?

Mr. Adamcik.

I don't have any idea.

Mr. Belin.

Had it been cut by an officer of the Dallas Police Department?

Mr. Adamcik.

No; it definitely wasn't.

Mr. Belin.

Pardon?

Mr. Adamcik.

Definitely wasn't. As far as I know, it wasn't.

Mr. Belin.

How was the blanket rolled, do you know, offhand, approximately?

Mr. Adamcik.

It appeared to be 4 or 5 feet, maybe.

Mr. Belin.

Was there anything in the blanket?

Mr. Adamcik.

Not that I could see.

Mr. Belin.

Was the blanket stiff or limp?

Mr. Adamcik.

It was a regular wool blanket, and it wasn't fairly stiff. Just from being rolled that way, it didn't appear like it was real stiff. Just normal.

Mr. Belin.

Did you see anyone carrying the blanket?

Mr. Adamcik.

No; I didn't.

Mr. Belin.

Did you lift the blanket up?

Mr. Adamcik.

No; I never did lift the blanket up.

Mr. Belin.

What happened after it was brought inside?
