Mr. Jenner.

wherever it was last week when you were in Washington, D.C., and have you touched it since you came home?

Mrs. Paine.

I have not touched it.

Mr. Jenner.

And is it now in the place it was to the best of your recollection on November 21, 1963?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, would you rise and enter the garage and point out in my presence and in the presence of Mr. Howlett where that package is?
(At this point the persons heretofore mentioned entered the garage as stated by Counsel Jenner.)

Mrs. Paine.

It is on a shelf above the workbench. It extends north of the north edge of the workbench.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it the thicker of the two packages wrapped in brown wrapping paper, shorter and thicker?

Mrs. Paine.

You would do well to look at them both.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, what I am going to do first--I'm going to hand you a pointer, and would you point to the package-that you have in mind?

Mrs. Paine.

This, to the best of my recollection, contains venetian blinds.

Mr. Jenner.

The witness is now referring to a package which Mr. Howlett, and I will ask you to measure it in a moment, but which appears to me to be at most about 28 inches long, maybe 30, and about 6 1/2 inches high and about 6 1/2 inches through.
While it is still wrapped in place, Mr. Howlett, would you measure the package and it is a little bit irregular.
Agent HOWLETT. That is 2 feet 11 inches.

Mr. Jenner.

The package is 2 feet 11 inches long and it is resting on a shelf which is apparently a foot down from the ceiling, and the north edge of the package is 5 inches from the outer wall of the storeroom I have described, and Mr. Howlett has--now measured the distance from the shelf on which the package is resting, to the floor, and that is what distance?
Agent HOWLETT. Seven feet and three inches.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, measure the height of the package.

Mrs. Paine.

.While you are up there, measure the one behind you.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; we will.
Agent HOWLETT. The height of the package is about seven inches.

Mr. Jenner.

And it is how thick through from east to west?
Agent HOWLETT. Seven inches.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Now, I'll ask Mr. Howlett to take the package down, since he is already up there on top of the bench, and we will open it in the presence of Mrs. Paine and see what it contains.
The package has now been taken down from the shelf in our presence and Mrs. Paine is opening it. Mrs. Paine, and in your presence, Mr. Howlett, what does the package contain?

Mrs. Paine.

It contains two venetian blinds, both of them are 2 feet 6 inches.

Mr. Jenner.

And they are of the metal variety, are they not?

Mrs. Paine.

They are.

Mr. Jenner.

And those blinds are 2 feet 6 inches wide?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, they are wrapped in brown or light-tan wrapping paper?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have a supply of this particular wrapping paper around your home at that time?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

From where did you obtain this wrapping paper?

Mrs. Paine.

This must have come around a package or something I had bought. I have never had a supply of this variety.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, John Joe, will you favor Mrs. Paine by putting her package back the way it was?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes--for the record.

Mr. Jenner.

For the record, when we sought to rewrap the package, it has a paster on the outside of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Dallas, No. 4017, and "Will call--M.R. Paine."
