(Testimony of Mrs. Eva Grant)

Mr. Burleson.
Just read this, though, and tell me if this is correct.
Mrs. Grant.
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.
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 3 1/2 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.
Mr. Burleson.
Did he tell you----
Mrs. Grant.
Wait a minute the phone rang--wait a minute there were a group of men. The phone rang and Jack was nearest the phone, wherever
