Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall an occasion when you had a conversation with Marina--it would have to be on the 23d of November--about the blanket package and the gun in the package?

Mrs. Paine.

On the 23d?

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have one--I will put it this way. Did you have any conversation with her on that subject, other than the one you have related that occurred in the presence of the police officers in your home on the 22d of November, 1963?

Mrs. Paine.

None that I recall; nor the day following, either.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that the only time that you ever had a conversation with Marina dealing with the presence of a firearm in your home?

Mrs. Paine.

That is the only thing I recall.

Mr. Jenner.

Or Lee Oswald's ownership of a firearm?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; the only time.

Mr. Jenner.

Or use of it.
I take it from the answers you have given to my long line of questioning that you never detected or saw Lee Oswald doing any dry firing or dry sighting of a rifle in Irving, Tex. in or about your home or premises.

Mrs. Paine.

No; I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

That concludes the questions Representative Ford had in mind.
I will look through the tag end of these notes and I think we have reached the end.
You have no diary of events during the time of your contact with the Oswalds other than the calendar diary which we have now introduced in evidence.

Mrs. Paine.

None.

Mr. Jenner.

And you never kept any?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

In connection with his seeking work in Houston, Tex. in the course of that conversation with you girls in New Orleans, when he made the statements you have related about seeking employment in Houston, was there anything said by him as to having any acquaintances or friends in Houston?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I believe I have already answered that--that he said he had a friend in Houston, and that I was not sure whether that was so or not.

Mr. Jenner.

He did not identify the friend?

Mrs. Paine.

No; I was curious, though, about that.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he say anything about having any connections or friends in Philadelphia?

Mrs. Paine.

No; he did not.

Mr. Jenner.

But he did mention the possibility of seeking employment in Philadelphia.

Mrs. Paine.

He mentioned Philadelphia as a possibility that he might go and look.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall a long-distance call received by Marina while she was at your home?

Mrs. Paine.

There was a call which I have related from Lee to her from New Orleans on May 9th.

Mr. Jenner.

But you know of no other?

Mrs. Paine.

I cannot think of any other.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever hear anything by way of discussion or otherwise by Marina or Lee of the possibility of his having been tendered or at least suggested to him a job at Trans-Texas, as a cargo handler at $310 per month?

Mrs. Paine.

No; in Dallas?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mrs. Paine.

I do not recall that $310 a month?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes. This was right at the time that he obtained employment at the Texas School Book Depository.

Mrs. Paine.

And he was definitely offered such a job?

Mr. Jenner.

Well, I won't say it was offered--that he might have been able to secure a job through the Texas Employment Commission as a cargo handler at $310 per month.
