Mr. BURLESON. Let me go off the record just a second.
(Discussion between Mr. Burleson and the witness, Mrs. Grant, off the
record.)
Mr. BURLESON. Is this what is right, here?
Mrs. GRANT. Yes; that is correct—he said he was up every night.
Mr. BURLESON. Is this correct, then?
Mrs. GRANT. Yes.
Mr. BURLESON. Now, as to the last paragraph on page 4 which starts on
page 4, does that appear to be correct?
Mrs. GRANT (reading). Yes; he called Stanley from my home, and that’s
why I know, and they were talking about these signs and he showed me——
Mr. BURLESON. Just read this, though, and tell me if this is correct.
Mrs. GRANT (reading). Yes.
Mr. BURLESON. All right. Now, as to the first complete paragraph on
page 5, would you read that and see if that appears to be correct?
Mrs. GRANT (reading). You know, I don’t know if he was there twice
Saturday or not.
Mr. BURLESON. Where?
Mrs. GRANT. At my apartment; you see, he was there from 3:30 on to 8
o’clock that evening—I know he spent about 4 hours.
Mr. BURLESON. That’s on the 23d?
Mrs. GRANT. That’s right. Whether he was there earlier, I don’t know. I
know Friday he was there twice.
Mr. BURLESON. But to the best of your recollection and remembrance at
this time, this is correct?
Mrs. GRANT. Well, he was there from close to about—I would say 3½ to 4
or 4 hours and 15 minutes for a Saturday.
Mr. BURLESON. And you say that it appears to be correct, the whole
paragraph?
Mrs. GRANT. Now, this is what I want to get clear.
Mr. BURLESON. All right. Let me read something into the record. With
the statement “She stated that from the remarks made by Ruby during
the 10:20 p.m. telephone conversation, that she gained the impression
that Ruby had been at his residence, 223 South Ewing (Apartment 207),
Dallas, Texas, since a short time after leaving her place around 8 p.m.
the same date.” Now, what do you want to say about that?
Mrs. GRANT. Well, I don’t know if it was Friday or Saturday. He said
he was going to the station, and I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t
question—radio, television, or police station because it didn’t make a
bit of difference to me. I was too gone.
Mr. BURLESON. But that does not have anything to do with this, does it?
Mrs. GRANT. He didn’t mention what station—he mentioned a station, but
I don’t know if he went to the radio station, television, or police
station, and I don’t think—it seems to me it was on a Friday instead of
Saturday.
Mr. BURLESON. But the statement, though, is correct as far as you know?
It may not be complete, but it is correct as far as you know?
Mrs. GRANT. Well, here it says on Saturday, but it is not Saturday.
I think it was Friday after the synagogue. I think he called me, and
he was in Phil’s, and he was ordering sandwiches, and I think it was
Friday. I’ll tell you the truth, I was so confused that night I don’t
know how I got anything out of him.
Mr. BURLESON. All right. Let me direct your attention to the next
paragraph: “At 11:30 p.m. that same night, he called and told her he
had been at the station where he had talked to Henry Wade, the district
attorney, Dallas County, Tex., and Russ Knight of radio station KLIF,
Dallas, Tex.”
Mrs. GRANT. And that should have been Friday.
Mr. BURLESON. That should be Friday night?
Mrs. GRANT. I think they both occurred Friday night.
Mr. BURLESON. You think the reference in the preceding paragraph that
we quoted should have been Friday night instead of Saturday night?
Mrs. GRANT. I’m sure when he left the synagogue he went to Phil’s, he
ordered sandwiches and he called me from Phil’s, and he said he was
going to a station. He may have told me Saturday what station he had
been at, but at that time he did not tell me.
Mr. BURLESON. If this were in this paragraph I have just quoted about
starting at about 11:30 p.m. that same night, that should be, then,
Friday night?
Mrs. GRANT. I’m sure.
Mr. BURLESON. With that substitution there, is everything else in that
paragraph true?
Mrs. GRANT. Well, he just said he was going to a station.
Mr. BURLESON. Did he tell you he talked with Henry Wade?
Mrs. GRANT. Yes; he did.
