(Testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
And you were aware of that fact, were you?
Mrs. Paine.
That is my best recollection that he was not in the garage while I was preparing dinner.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know where he was while you were preparing dinner?
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall specifically.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have occasion to look into your garage area at anytime during the period you were preparing dinner?
Mrs. Paine.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Jenner.
Where was Marina during the period you were preparing dinner?
Mrs. Paine.
I'd have to guess.
Senator Cooper.
Just tell what you know.
Mr. Jenner.
Tell what you know first.
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall specifically.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have a recollection with respect to whether she was inside the house or outside the house?
Mrs. Paine.
I recall that she was inside the house.
Mr. Jenner.
And where was the child June with respect to whether she was inside or outside the house?
Mrs. Paine.
She was inside.
Mr. Jenner.
Having located Marina and the Oswald daughter inside your home, does that refresh your recollection as to whether Lee was also inside the house?
Mrs. Paine.
As far as I remember, he was also inside the house.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he playing with his daughter?
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall.
Mr. Jenner.
How long did it take you to prepare dinner?
Mrs. Paine.
Probably half an hour.
Mr. Jenner.
I am unaware of the shades of evening and night in Texas. By the time you had completed dinner had night fallen or was it still light?
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall.
Mr. Jenner.
What time does nightfall come in Texas in November, late November?
Mrs. Paine.
I would say between 7 and 7:30.
Mr. Jenner.
I shouldn't have been as broad as I was. I meant to locate it in Irving, Tex, rather than Texas generally. About 7:30?
Mrs. Paine.
Between 7 and 7:30. I don't know exactly.
Mr. Jenner.
When did you sit down for dinner?
Mrs. Paine.
I suppose around 6:30.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that your best recollection?
Mrs. Paine.
I don't recall specifically.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it still light outside, natural light?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Lee Oswald join you for dinner?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes; he did.
Mrs. Paine.
And how long did dinner take?
Mrs. Paine.
Perhaps half an hour.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he remain in your presence during all of the dinner period?
Mrs. Paine.
Either there or in the living room.
Mr. Jenner.
At anytime during the dinner period, did Lee Oswald leave your home?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You have a firm recollection of that?
Mrs. Paine.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Marina?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
At anytime during that period did Lee Oswald enter the garage area?
Mrs. Paine.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Marina?
Mrs. Paine.
Not to my recollection.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you?
