Mr. BURLESON. Now, let me read that into the record—just a second.
Mrs. GRANT. At 12:40 he was at home. From the way he talked I assumed
he was at home.
Mr. BURLESON. Just a second, now. “She said she gained the impression
that he was at his residence.”
Mrs. GRANT. For Saturday is it?
Mr. BURLESON. From—for Saturday night when he called you at 12:40?
Mrs. GRANT. That’s right.
Mr. BURLESON. Would you read the next sentence in there and see if that
is correct?
Mrs. GRANT. That’s right.
Mr. BURLESON. Now, directing your attention to the next paragraph,
which is the first complete paragraph on page 6, would you read that
and see if that is correct?
Mrs. GRANT (reading). 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.
