(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
We have those letters now in evidence and you testified about them

yesterday?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Returning your attention to the time that Mr. Oswald, Lee Oswald, came to Irving in October of 1963, that is October 4, and reported to you he hitchhiked, you recall that?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
He remained overnight the night of the 4th of October, is that correct?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; he did.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he return to Dallas the following day?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he driven back to Dallas within the next couple of days by you?
Mrs. Paine.
My recollection is that I took him to the bus station around noon on the 7th of October, that is a Monday.
Mr. Jenner.
You did not drive him all the way into downtown Dallas?
Mrs. Paine.
No; I don't believe so.
Mr. Jenner.
Marina has testified, or at least when interviewed by the FBI stated, that you did drive Lee to downtown Dallas.
Mrs. Paine.
I have given you all my recollections on this matter, haven't I, for the record?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Paine.
With--
Mr. Jenner.
Even after further reflection last night your recollection is as you have already stated?
Mrs. Paine.
That there was an occasion that we were going in with a Russian typewriter on an errand of mine to get that fixed, and I drove him to Ross Street and some crossroad, and he said was near to the employment office.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. What occasion was this?
Mrs. Paine.
What day?
Mr. Jenner.
Day, yes; please?
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall but I would be fairly certain it was a Monday.
Mr. Jenner.
And had he been out at your home over the weekend?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; that is my best recollection.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it after he had become employed with the Book Depository?
Mrs. Paine.
No; he was on his way to the employment office. This was his purpose.
Mr. Jenner.
So it was sometime prior to the weekend, was it, that the matter by the Texas Book Depository had arisen?
Mrs. Paine.
I would judge that it has to have been on the 14th, which was and indeed morning prior to the conversation at Mrs. Roberts about this.
Mr. Jenner.
I see.
Mrs. Paine.
But I may be wrong about that, but it is my best recollection.
Mr. Jenner.
Did the conversation at Mrs. Roberts take place on the 15th of
Mrs. Paine.
No; on the 14th.
Mr. Jenner.
On the 14th. That was what day of the week?
Mrs. Paine.
Monday.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you drive him into Dallas on that day?
Mrs. Paine.
I can't think when else it could have been.
Mr. Jenner.
And to the best of your recollection that is probably the day then?
Mrs. Paine.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you indicate did Marina accompany you?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she or you indicate any interest in driving by and seeing his

apartment or room?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there any discussion at any time, Mrs. Paine, in your home
