(Testimony of Mrs. Eva Grant)

Mr. Burleson.
All right. In reference to the next paragraph, it says, "Mrs. Grant recalled that on the day of the President's assassination, November 22, 1963, Jack Ruby telephoned her at least eight times and made three personal visits to her apartment,"-- what correction or change do you want to make?
Mrs. Grant.
I think he came twice one time early in the day and once later in the afternoon with the groceries.
Mr. Burleson.
So, where you said "three times"----
Mrs. Grant.
It was only two times.
Mr. Burleson.
You think now that it was only two times?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes.
Mr. Burleson.
The rest of that paragraph appears to be correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes.
Mr. Burleson.
The next paragraph on page 3 appears to be correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes.
Mr. Burleson.
A continuation of the last paragraph on page 3 and on page 4, does it appear to be correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Could I add. something here?
Mr. Burleson.
All right, in the last sentence of the first paragraph, at the top of the page, the statement appears, "She stated that he discussed sending flowers to the place near the spot where the President was assassinated and she feels sure that he did have flowers delivered to that spot?"
Mrs. Grant.
Well, we had a regular florist, called "Your Florist," but I was in the hospital and he sent dried up, thrown out flowers that he charged, you know, a large amount of money for. I told him to get another florist, but he didn't. He thinks he didn't anyway-- we are almost sure he didn't.
Mr. Burleson.
Now, directing your attention to the first complete paragraph on page 4, which says, "Mrs. Grant informed that Jack Ruby was in her apartment on November 22d, 1963, from approximately 5:30 p.m. until approximately 7:15 p.m. and then he dressed and went to the synagogue for prayers." What correction or addition do you want to make to that?
Mrs. Grant.
It was much earlier than 5:30--more like 4:30 at that time. You see, he was there earlier in the day, but I don't remember whether it was much earlier--I think he came before he even went to the newspaper office.
Mr. Burleson.
"Somewhere around 4:30" should be "around 5:30"?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; and he went home to dress. You see, he didn't live at my place.
Mr. Burleson.
All right; 7:15 is about right?
Mrs. Grant.
That's right.
Mr. Burleson.
Then he dressed---he went home to dress from your place before he went to the synagogue?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; but I want to tell you. He looked so bad and he was so much a broken man and more confused and I really said something to this effect to him, I said, "Do you think you are able to drive?" He says, "Yes," but instead of him going home, he went to Dealey Plaza and he was there sometime, because he didn't get home until much later, and he didn't get to the synagogue until almost all of the services were over, but he didn't have any idea about time.
Mr. Burleson.
Now, as to this next paragraph on page 4, does it appear to be correct as written?
Mrs. Grant.
Well, in the case that he told me that he took what Larry----
Mr. Burleson.
And there are some other things written, but what is written there, does that appear to be correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes. [Reading.]
Mr. Burleson.
Let me go off the record just a second.
(Discussion between Mr. Burleson and the witness, Mrs. Grant, off the record.)
Mr. Burleson.
Is this what is right, here?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; that is correct--he said he was up every night.
Mr. Burleson.
Is this correct, then?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes.
Mr. Burleson.
Now, as to the last paragraph on page 4 which starts on page 4, does that appear to be correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; he called Stanley from my home, and that's why I know, and they were talking about these signs and. he showed me----
