(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine)
Mr. Jenner.
Now, do you recall that he ever purchased any records, that is playing records, songs?
Mrs. Paine.
No; I recall no such.
Mr. Jenner.
The purchase of camera film and the development of camera film?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You are aware from reports of Marina's testimony that she took some pictures of him?
Mrs. Paine.
I read in the paper.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there any picturetaking during the period, during the fall of 1963, either in New Orleans or in Irving or in Dallas?
Mrs. Paine.
Not by either Lee or Marina that I heard of.
Mr. Jenner.
And did you hear any conversation between them in your presence or with you with respect to his or they having a snapshot camera or other type of camera to take pictures?
Mrs. Paine.
No; the only reference to a camera was made by Lee when he held up and showed me a camera he had bought in the Soviet Union and said he couldn't buy film for it in this country. it was a different size.
Mr. Jenner.
Did they ever exhibit any snapshots to you?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; a few snapshots taken in Minsk.
Mr. Jenner.
But no snapshots of any scenes in America that they had taken?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Or people?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
What is your impression as to whether Lee gave Marina any fixed or regular sum of money, by the week or the month?
Mrs. Paine.
When she was with me, she received no such regular sum of money.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you now told us all you can recall as to funds given by Lee to Marina?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Is Hutch's Market--is that something familiar to you?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that a local grocery store or delicatessen store?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
In Irving?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall an occasion when Lee took Marina to Hutch's Market to purchase some groceries?
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall such an occasion. I do recall that Marina and I or perhaps it was only I went in and bought milk there. I think this was on our way to my house on the 24th of April. But it is not the store I usually go to, and I am quite certain it is--it is too far to walk---I am quite certain------
Mr. Jenner.
How far away is the place?
Mrs. Paine.
It would be a 3-minute drive about 10 blocks.
Mr. Jenner.
Ten blocks away?
Mrs. Paine.
Something like that.
Mr. Jenner.
Is it further away than the----
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Than the market of which you spoke where you took Lee to----
Mrs. Paine.
It is a little closer than that but blocks in Irving are not well defined, I might say, so it is hard to say.
Mr. JENNER. When Lee came to your home on weekends, did he eat all of his meals there at your home?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; he did.
Mr. Jenner.
I have already questioned you about breakfast. He always had his breakfast at your home but it consisted primarily of merely a cup of coffee?
Mrs. Paine.
He would eat a sweet roll if there was one.
Mr. Jenner.
On occasion did he pack a lunch?
Mrs. Paine.
I remember one occasion when Marina packed a lunch or some food for him to take.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you say there was anything regular about that?
