(Testimony of Mrs. Eva Grant)

Mr. Burleson.
is the first complete paragraph on page 6, would you read that and see if that is correct?
Mrs. Grant.
That is correct.
Mr. Burleson.
Now, the last paragraph on page 6, which continues on page 7---would you read that?
Mrs. Grant.
Okay. [Read.] That's all right.
Mr. Hubert.
I am handing you and your attorney a document which has been identified as follows: That is to say, I have written in the margin of this document, this consisting of one page, the words, "Dallas, Tex., May 28, 1964, Exhibit No. 2 deposition of Eva Grant," and I have signed my name and this purports to be of a telephone interview between you and the FBI agent Jack Peden on November 29 1963, and I will ask you if it is correct, if anything has been omitted, any corrections to be made or anything wrong about it in regards to the first paragraph, which says, "Mrs. Eva L. Grant, 3929 Rawlins, was telephonically contacted at the Vegas Club, 3508 Oak Lawn, Dallas, Tex., and she stated that she first came to Dallas Tex. in August of either 1942 or August 1943."
Did you come here?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; I stayed a very short while. It was during the war and I lived out in Oak Cliff---it seems to me on Ohio Street somewhere.
Mr. Hubert.
Would you say that you were really just passing through?
Mrs. Grant.
No; but I was just here for a couple of weeks and then I left and you see I was always on the way from Chicago to Los Angeles.
Mr. Burleson.
Are there any other changes or corrections in this that you want to make?
Mrs. Grant.
Well, this building--wasn't--go back to 1945.
Mr. Burleson.
Let me read into the record the second paragraph, "She advised that a building was being erected at 1717 South Ervay, in Dallas, shortly after she arrived in Dallas, and she arranged to lease it."
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; but that was not until 1945.
Mr. Hubert.
That was in 1945?
Mrs. Grant.
I'm sure the last part of it was 1945.
Mr. Hubert.
That was in 1945?
Mrs. Grant.
I'm sure the last part of 1945.
Mr. Hubert.
Is the last sentence in the second paragraph correct?
Mrs. Grant.
Well, yes; that's correct--let me explain this--you see, when they say I went to the west coast, yes; but I didn't stay there too long. I mean, it took me from 6 months to 8 months to come back.
Mr. Burleson.
Let me ask you this. In the last paragraph, Mrs. Grant stated that "she left Dallas in 1948 and went to the west coast. She informed that she returned to Dallas two or three times after 1948 and has made Dallas her home since April 1959"; is that correct?
Mrs. Grant.
I was here many more years than that.
Mr. Burleson.
All right, what is the true situation?
Mrs. Grant.
Even if I left, I wasn't gone maybe a half a year or 8 months even, and then I came back and I stayed here again, and then Jack had another club called Hernando's Hideaway, and I was here a year then, maybe 2 years. Gee, I was mostly here since 1948 than any place I have been.
Mr. Burleson.
But you did move to other places?
Mrs. Grant.
I went to Los Angeles or Chicago---no other place than that.
Mr. Burleson.
And with those additions and corrections, this is correct; is that right?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; I mean--I wouldn't call any other place my home.
Mr. Burleson.
All right, that's all.
Mr. Hubert.
Now.
Mrs. Grant.
You know, of course, that I went on the road and came back.
Mr. Burleson.
All right.
Mr. Hubert.
I have marked for identification a document which purports to be an interview on December 2, 1963, of you by FBI Agent Jack Peden, and for purposes of identification I have marked it as follows: "Dallas, Tex., May 28, 1964, Exhibit No. 3 of the deposition of Eva Grant," and I have signed my name and ask you the same comments with respect to that document?
