Mr. Mamantov.

No; I don't remember.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't remember anything about Mrs. Paine?

Mr. Mamantov.

You see, Mrs. Paine also gave a statement later on after Marina finished.

Mr. Jenner.

Let's stick with Marina for the moment.

Mr. Mamantov.

That's correct, otherwise I would be confused.

Mr. Jenner.

Did she say why she went to the garage or was she asked, and did she respond on that subject?

Mr. Mamantov.

To the best of my memory, she was asked and led to that question, if she had gone to the garage, if she had seen a blanket----

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me, sir; they could be asking her, in connection with the questions, to see whether she went to the blanket later in the day. Do you recall that the question---is it because of the questioning, or she voluntarily----

Mr. Mamantov.

No; because of the question.

Mr. Jenner.

Because of the questioning, that after she was in the kitchen that morning, at that time she then went into the garage for the purpose of examining the blanket and its contents? Just relax and think about it.

Mr. Mamantov.

I'm afraid I wouldn't remember in such extent, if she went immediately or she went later or she went during the time when police was at Mrs. Paine's home, and I imagine those points are very important to you, and I don't remember at the moment, I mean, to the exact time.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; they are important--you see, your responses when you first approached this subject, the implication was she looked at the kitchen, and that she went immediately out into the garage.

Mr. Mamantov.

No; I'm afraid I cannot state positively whether she went during the day or whether she went immediately from the kitchen--I do not----

Mr. Jenner.

You cannot state it?

Mr. Mamantov.

I don't know.

Mr. Jenner.

Does your recollection serve you that she went before noontime?

Mr. Mamantov.

No; I cannot state.

Mr. Jenner.

Or that she went out to the garage at any time before the police arrived, which was in midafternoon?

Mr. Mamantov.

That, I don't remember. I do remember that she was asked about blanket, if she has seen blanket, and she has seen blanket in a very unusual, or she said in unusual shape as she said she has seen before, about 2 weeks. I remember her mentioning about 2 weeks to the questioning.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you mean by that, sir, that the shape and form of the blanket when she saw it that day was different from the shape and configuration when she had seen the blanket prior thereto?

Mr. Mamantov.

About 2 weeks---yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Your answer was "yes?"

Mr. Mamantov.

Yes; it was in different shape than she had seen before. After that the question was asked what was in this blanket. She said it was his gun, she was asked when did he purchase the gun, where did he get this gun, and she stated she didn't know and also probably he would bring the gun from the Soviet Union, and also was asked the question if she would recognize the gun if the gun would be shown to her, and at this moment the gun was brought in.
Let me try to remember a little bit?

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me.

Mr. Mamantov.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

In her responses to the questioning, did she say whether or not she had been aware of the presence of the gun and the blanket in the garage prior to November 22, 1963?

Mr. Mamantov.

This question was asked her. And, she gave a little bit evasive answer.

Mr. Jenner.

You tell us what she said rather than you giving your opinion as to whether it was evasive.

Mr. Mamantov.

Oh, if I remember right, she said she didn't know if it were there.

Mr. Jenner.

She did not know----
