Mr. JENNER. It is not going into the record, Mrs. Paine. Just be
patient. Commission Exhibit 425 consists of two pages, that is two
sheets. The pages are numbered from one through four. Would you look at
the page numbered 4? There is a signature appearing at the bottom of
it. Is that your signature?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Chairman, may I postpone the offer of this document
in evidence until I do read the second page, which the witness has
now produced. You see, Mrs. Paine, that it may be important to the
Commission to have the entire letter which would indicate the context
in which the statements that are relevant were made.
You testified yesterday with regard to the draft of what appeared to
be a letter that Mr. Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald, was to send. It was
thought he might send it to someone. I hand you a picture of a letter
in longhand which has been identified as Commission Exhibit 103. Would
you look at that please? Do you recognize that handwriting?
Mrs. PAINE. No. This is the only time I saw--this is the only
handwriting of his I have seen.
Mr. JENNER. You can't identify the document as such, that is, are you
familiar enough with his handwriting----
Mrs. PAINE. To know that this is his handwriting?
Mr. JENNER. To identify whether that is or is not his handwriting.
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Have you ever seen that Document before?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have.
Mr. JENNER. When did you first see it?
Mrs. PAINE. I first saw that on Saturday, the 9th of November. I don't
believe I looked to see what it said until the morning of the 10th.
Mr. JENNER. I see. Now, do you recognize it, however, as a picture of
the document that you did see on the 9th of November, or did you say
10th?
Mrs. PAINE. I'll say 10th, yes; it is that document.
Senator COOPER. What is the answer?
Mrs. PAINE. It is that document.
Mr. JENNER. And I take it from your testimony that after you had seen
the original of this document, this document happens to be a photo, you
saw a typed transcript of this document or substantially this document?
Mrs. PAINE. I never saw a typed transcript.
Mr. JENNER. You did not?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Mrs. Paine, you testified yesterday that Lee Harvey Oswald
asked you if he could use your typewriter?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. And he did proceed to use the typewriter to type a letter
or at least some document?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And that you saw a document folded in half and one portion
of it arrested your attention?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; that is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Was the document that arrested your attention the typed
document or was it the document that is before you?
Mrs. PAINE. I never saw the typed document. It was the document that is
before me, which I take to be a rough draft of what he typed.
Mr. JENNER. And you said you made a duplicate of the document. Did you
make a duplicate in longhand or on your typewriter?
Mrs. PAINE. I made a duplicate in longhand.
Mr. JENNER. But you do have a present recollection that this,
Commission Exhibit No. 103 for identification, is the document which
you saw in your home on your desk secretary?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibit No.
103 the document--oh, it is already in evidence. I withdraw that offer.
Senator COOPER. It is in evidence.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Redlich informs me, Mr. Chairman, that the document has
already been admitted in evidence.
Now, would you follow me as I go through these? There has been marked
as Commission's Exhibit 430, which is the mark at the moment for
identification, what purports to be a floor plan outline of the Paine
home at 2515 Fifth Street, Irving, Tex., and the witness made reference
to that yesterday close to the close of her testimony yesterday
afternoon. Directing your attention to that exhibit, is that an
accurate floor plan outline of your home at 2515 Fifth Street, Irving,
Tex.?
Mrs. PAINE. It is an approximately accurate floor plan.
Mr. JENNER. And is it properly entitled, that is, are the rooms and
sections of the home properly entitled?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; they are.
Mr. JENNER. And does it accurately reflect the door openings, the
hallways in your home and the garage?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is perfectly accurate.
Mr. JENNER. I think one thing only needs some explanation. In the
upper left-hand corner of the floor plan outline, there is a square
space which has no lettering to identify that space. It is the area
immediately to the left of the--of what is designated as kitchen-dining
area.
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. That space is all one room with that which is
designated kitchen-dining area. That is one large room.
Mr. JENNER. I see. So that even though on the floor plan outline the
words "kitchen-dining area" appear in the right half of that space,
that lettering and wording is to apply to all the space?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. And the driveway about which you testified is that portion
of the ground outline which has the circle with the figure "8" and an
arrow, is that right?
Mrs. PAINE. That is the driveway.
Mr. JENNER. And the driveway is where the car was parked because the
garage always had too many things in it to get your car in?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Referring to Commission Exhibit No. 431 for identification,
is that a front view of your home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Were you present when the picture was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I was.
Mr. JENNER. Commission Exhibit 432, is that a rear view of your home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. Probably. I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. But that is an accurate depiction?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Of the rear of your home?
Mrs. PAINE. It is certainly accurate.
Mr. JENNER. And showing some of your yard. The next Exhibit 433, is
that a view of the east side of your home?
Mrs. PAINE. East and north; yes.
Mr. JENNER. And were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. I wouldn't know.
Mr. JENNER. But it is an accurate depiction of that area of your home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Commission Exhibit 434, is that a view of the west side of
your home?
Mrs. PAINE. West and north.
Mr. JENNER. Were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. Despite that, is it accurate?
Mrs. PAINE. It is perfectly accurate.
Mr. JENNER. Now, is Commission Exhibit 435 a view inside your home
looking through the door leading to the garage from your kitchen?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. And were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I was.
Mr. JENNER. And is it accurate?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Commission Exhibit 436, is that a picture of the doorway
area leading to the backyard of your home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I was.
Mr. JENNER. Is it accurate?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Commission Exhibit 437, is that the kitchen area in your
home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Now, were you present when that was taken?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I was.
Mr. JENNER. And is it accurate?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Returning now to the floor plan exhibit, Commission
Exhibit 430, is Commission Exhibit 437, which is the kitchen area in
your home, that portion of Commission Exhibit 430 which is lettered
"kitchen-dining area."
Mrs. PAINE. It is a picture of that portion.
Mr. JENNER. Of that portion, rather than the portion to the left which
is unlettered?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. The garage interior we identified yesterday. By the way,
have you ever been in the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have.
Mr. JENNER. Have you been there often enough to identify a floor plan
and pictures of the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. I have been there perhaps once or twice.
Mr. McCLOY. Do you intend to call Mrs. Randle?
Mr. JENNER. Unfortunately Mrs. Randle has already testified and Mr.
Ball when he questioned her did not have this exhibit. It wasn't in
existence.
I show you a page marked Commission Exhibit No. 441 entitled "Randle
Home, 2439 West Fifth Street, Irving, Tex.," purporting to be a floor
plan outline of the Randle home. You have been in the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have.
Mr. JENNER. On several occasions?
Mrs. PAINE. Two or three; yes.
Mr. JENNER. And are you familiar with the general area of the Randle
home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Surrounding the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. Indeed; I am.
Mr. JENNER. And looking at Commission Exhibit 441, is that an accurate
floor plan outline and general community outline of the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I would say it is.
Mr. JENNER. I show you Commission Exhibit 442. Is that an accurate and
true and correct photograph showing the corner view of the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it is.
Mr. JENNER. Exhibit 443, is that an accurate photograph of a portion of
the kitchen portion, the front of the kitchen window of the Randle home?
Mrs. PAINE. I believe so.
