(Testimony of Mrs. Eva Grant Resumed)

Mr. Burleson.
Tippit's funeral?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes; but he says--he saw I was sick and he figured maybe I don't want to get out and he says, "Do you think you can go to dinner tomorrow? And he does take me to dinner.
Mr. Burleson.
But anyway, he had made arrangements or was telling you that he and you were going to the funeral of Tippit, is that right?
Mrs. Grant.
That's correct--that's what he thought.
Mr. Burleson.
But you didn't feel up to it physically?
Mrs. Grant.
That Saturday I couldn't see myself going, I'll tell you, I just wanted to quiet him down.
Mr. Burleson.
And as far as you know, Jack did not know Tippit?
Mrs. Grant.
I don't--I don't know, all I could tell you is that Jack lived in Oak Cliff for a couple of years or maybe a year and a haft and Tippit, being of that area, he could have run into him and known of him slightly. He didn't know him as well as other policemen that I know he knows. I know of Policemen much closer than him, but since this all happened, one of my coworkers, Leo Torti, showed me a magazine and Tippit was in our club sometime--a month previous to this--previous to his killing.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it a picture of Tippit?
Mrs. Grant.
It was a picture of Tippit, and he said, "Do you remember he talked to you up at the front, he was in in September or October or November sometime."
Mr. Burleson.
Was that the Carousel or the Vegas?
Mrs. Grant.
The Vegas, and while I looked at him then I remembered that he looked familiar, but truthfully, you know, after the President's assassination and this incident of my brother I didn't see any newspaper. I didn't look for anything to read. I had no television or radio on--I couldn't take it.
Mr. Burleson.
Mr. Hubert, I think that is all I have along that line.
Mr. Hubert.
Mrs. Grant, earlier today, as a matter of fact, at the very beginning or prior to the beginning of the deposition, I showed you a list of names and telephone numbers and addresses on a document consisting of 37 pages, marked with a large "E", and asked you to go through that list and make a check mark as to every name and number that had any significance to you at all.
Now, you have done so and I am going to ask, if I may, with the consent of your attorney, that I now read off that list of names as to those names that you have checked off, and I am going to request the reporter to make a special list of those that you have checked off and hand it to you so that you may make comments of your own, and then after consultation with your attorney, draft up an affidavit as to what comments you have to make with respect to each one of these people. In other words, you have indicated that the names that have been checked off have a significance to you.
Mrs. Grant.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
I would like you to prepare notes and with the assistance of your attorney, draft an affidavit as to what significance each one of these names has. I understand that it will be perhaps a matter of 2 weeks or so before you can get that because there are quite a number of names.
Now, I will read those names so that the record will show which of the names you have marked off. I understand that as to those you have not marked off, those names have no significance to you; is that correct?
Mrs. Grant.
That's right--I can't relate them to anything.
Mr. Burleson.
May I make a suggestion--it may be a little time consuming, but if she could look back through that now that she has had an opportunity to testify and recall many, many things that she probably hasn't thought of in some time she could very quickly look at the ones she didn't check?
Mrs. Grant.
Is it possible that some of those are license plate numbers--could you tell?
Mr. Hubert.
They seem to be mostly telephone numbers.
Mr. Burleson.
Yes; ma'am--that's right.
Mrs. Grant.
May I explain something to you?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; please.
Mrs. Grant.
All right. Jack would be driving along in his car and there would be a young lady drive up to the right of him. If she didn't have a
