(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine)

Mrs. Paine.
I might point out that I didn't know Lee had a middle name until I had occasion to fill out forms for Marina in Parkland Hospital.
Mr. Jenner.
That is when you learned that his middle name was Harvey and his initial was H?
Mrs. Paine.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
Any other entries in March relating to the Oswalds?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Identify it, please, first as to date.
Mrs. Paine.
And this written at the time it happens to be also on March 20, it says, "Marina," and I judge that this was the time we had scheduled for me to come to her, and I believe it is the date referred to in one of the letters as "until the 20th."
Mr. Jenner.
You have already testified about this incident?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Any others?
Mrs. Paine.
Not for the month of March.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Now, dropping down on that same page to the calendar for April, are there any entries relating to the Oswalds?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes. Written at the time there is an entry for Tuesday, April 2, "Marina and Lee, dinner" and it looks like "7 o'clock" above the word "dinner." That has been testified to.
Mr. Jenner.
You have testified about that?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes. Then there is an entrance on----
Mr. Jenner.
An entry?
Mrs. Paine.
An entry, yes, sorry; on April 8 where Marina's name appears, this time written in Russian.
Mr. Jenner.
You have testified about that?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes, and there is a similar entrance for the 10th of April with an arrow.
Mr. Jenner.
Entry, you mean again?
Mrs. Paine.
I am sorry, an entry pushing it over to the 11th, which would indicate to me that the actual meeting took place on the 11th.
Mr. Jenner.
You testified about that, is that correct?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes, I have. And then I have also testified about meeting, picnic, Marina and Lee, on the 20th of April.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mrs. Paine.
And then I have also testified about seeing both of them on the 24th of April, and in that square on my calendar appear the words "Lee and Marina."
Then there was an entry referring to the Oswalds---
Mr. Jenner.
You mean theirs?
Mrs. Paine.
Theirs, but written in later, saying, "Marina and Lee Wedding Anniversary two years ago."
Mr. Jenner.
That is, you mean you didn't write it on the 30th of April?
Mrs. Paine.
I wrote that later. I learned that date some time in the fall.
Mr. Jenner.
You have now identified all entries on the April calendar referring to the Oswalds?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
Let's take May.
Mrs. Paine.
Well, I have referred to the fact that this entry on May 1 "Mary" refers to a babysitter, followed by "War and Peace." This recalls to me the fact that Marina went with me and we took June and we saw the movie War and Peace.
Mr. Jenner.
About which you have testified?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes. The next entry----
Mr. Jenner.
The next one relating to the Oswalds.
Mrs. Paine.
Right, is on May 10 going over to the 11th where in New Orleans and it means these were the days we were going to New Orleans.
Mr. Jenner.
And you have testified about that entry and that event?
Mrs. Paine.
I have.
Mr. Jenner.
Any other entries on the May calendar relating to the Oswalds?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
