(Testimony of Eva L. Grant)

Mr. Burleson.
Hotel here in Dallas, and he closed down because of the assassination, and he went down to Galveston to visit his parents. And Jack called Breck Wall at night on Saturday night.
Mrs. Grant.
That I remember, Galveston.
Mr. Burleson.
And was very, very upset.
Mr. Griffin.
When you say late, what time did he call?
Mr. Burleson.
Between 9 and 11, as best I recall, because he called me the next day when Jack was charge, and asked me to go help Jack, and he told me that he talked to him the night before, and he was very upset, and had just seen it on television, and wanted to see if I could help in any way.
Mrs. Grant.
It seems to me he told me----I know the word Galveston, and I didn't know anybody in Galveston, and he said he talked to Breck. Don't ask me what he said, I don't know. I don't know if he was at the club or at home. Where was he?
Mr. Griffin.
Mrs. Grant, after he left your apartment, and called you from his own apartment and you told him--
Mrs. Grant.
I want to tell you, I didn't hear from him for at least 2 hours, it seems to me, from the time he left my home Saturday night, at least 2 hours.
Mr. Griffin.
You said, when he left your house, he said he had to go downtown and give somebody some money. You said a couple of hours later he called you and you told him go see somebody?
Mrs. Grant.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
All right, are you sure that when he left you house he said he was going to give somebody some money, or did he tell you that in the telephone call that he made a couple of hours later?
Mrs. Grant.
It seems that he said something about money.
Mr. Griffin.
Was that in the telephone call, or when he got to your house?
Mrs. Grant.
It seems to me when he left the house, while he was at the house.
Mr. Griffin.
After the telephone call that he made in which you told him to go see somebody, did he call you again?
Mrs. Grant.
Wait a minute, let's get this right. After what?
Mr. Griffin.
After the telephone call?
Mrs. Grant.
After 10 o'clock.
Mr. Grant.
Yes.
Mrs. Grant.
Sure, he called me again.
Mr. Griffin.
When did he call you again?
Mrs. Grant.
It was almost a quarter to 1, or 20 to 1.
Mr. Griffin.
Where was he?
Mrs. Grant.
I thought he was home.
Mr. Griffin.
What did he say?
Mrs. Grant.
He asked me how I was.
Mr. Griffin.
What did you say?
Mrs. Grant.
Well, I was reading Reader's Digest, and he asked me was I watching television. Yes, I was watching, but I wasn't listening. And he said, "What else? What was happening?" And I said, "Nothing." And I said, "I think they signed off." And they got terrible; they got terrible music on What I meant to say was, very depressing music. I said it was from 11, only memorial, and it was some singing, I think, and I go on watching him.
No; I don't say I was watching, but they turned it off. I think, all the stations went off early.
Mr. Griffin.
When he called you this time, did he say anything to you other than just ask you how you were?
Mrs. Grant.
I can't remember all the conversation. He asked me if I called home or something, did I call somebody, it seems to me, but I am confused on Friday and Saturday.
Mr. Griffin.
Are you sure that this telephone call we are now talking about occurred at I o'clock Sunday morning, or could it have been 1 o'clock Saturday morning?
Mrs. Grant.
No. [He could of called me both nights; at that time.] The last time I talked to my brother previously to him shooting Oswald was close to I o'clock, was more like 20 to 1, or a quarter of 1--it was after 12:30.
