(Testimony of Mrs. Eva Grant)

Mrs. Grant.
this takes place--where they interrogate people or talk to people I haven't a vague idea, but yet I have been up there. Someone said answer the phone and he picked up the phone and he said, "It's for you, Henry." He told me this on Saturday.
A man at a station, and this time I think--this was Friday night--that I know, and he said, "Can I talk to Henry Wade?" And I think it was Russ Knight on the other end of the phone who said, "Okay," and they were giving Russ Knight, who was--now, I know it was with KLIF because he was with KLIF, but he didn't tell me this until Saturday when he came over but I'll be honest, he told me when he was going to a station on Friday I did not know whether it was radio, television, or police station--I know he was in Phil's and he ordered a lot of sandwiches.
Mr. Burleson.
Would you read, then, with that explanation, and see if these two paragraphs are correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; yes.
Mr. Burleson.
All right, let's move on to the last paragraph on page 5, which continues on page 6. Would you read it and see if it is correct?
Mrs. Grant.
You see, I'll tell you--I know when he got home Saturday afternoon, he left me I made dinner for him and he called me.
Mr. Burleson.
Was it about 12:40?
Mrs. Grant.
No; he called me before that, once again. I would say it was more like 10:30 or 10 o'clock--he was still at home Saturday he was still home 10 o'clock.
Mr. Burleson.
All right; let me interrupt you--Eva--just a second, and let me read to you this paragraph starting on page 5 at the bottom, "Mrs. Grant stated that she next heard from her brother, Jack Ruby, about 12:40 a.m., Sunday, November 24, 1963, at which time he called her by telephone." Now, you say that you heard from him sometime before 12:40?
Mrs. Grant.
This fits in here this part here.
Mr. Burleson.
What I just read fits back up into the first paragraph?
Mrs. Grant.
No on Saturday he left my home around 8 o'clock. I did not hear from him for about 2 hours, it seems that long anyway. He called and he said--I know exactly what he said--he said he was making liver that George bought and getting dressed.
Mr. Burleson.
That George Senator bought?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes.
Mr. Burleson.
And he was at home?
Mrs. Grant.
No; George was not at home.
Mr. Burleson.
I mean, Jack was at his apartment?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; this was Saturday.
Mr. Burleson.
All right.
Mrs. Grant.
And in those 2 hours, I assume he took a shower and from the telephone messages he must have made five long- distance calls from what I heard--that is Saturday--I don't know where he went, but I do know he called me back again and it was after midnight, and it was near 1 o'clock, as much as I could remember.
Mr. Burleson.
Would you continue on page 6, that continuation of the paragraph, and see if the rest of it is correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Well, this is what I said.
Mr. Burleson.
Now, let me read that into the record--just a second.
Mrs. Grant.
At 12:40 he was at home. From the way he talked I assumed he was at home.
Mr. Burleson.
Just a second, now. "She said she gained the impression that he was at his residence."
Mrs. Grant.
For Saturday is it?
Mr. Burleson.
From--for Saturday night when he called you at 12:40?
Mrs. Grant.
That's right.
Mr. Burleson.
Would you read the next sentence in there and see if that is correct?
Mrs. Grant.
That's right.
Mr. Burleson.
Now, directing your attention to the next paragraph, which
