Mrs. Paine.

Yes; as I have described it. The position I have described is more accurate than the XX.

Mr. Jenner.

There is a red strip above the table with the tablecloth on it.

Mrs. Paine.

That is an accident with my hand.

Mr. Jenner.

That was an accident on your part?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

So there are only two locations?

Mrs. Paine.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, Mr. Chairman, may I reinsert the rifle in the package, on the opposite side from what it was before, and have the witness look at it?

Mr. Mccloy.

You may.
We are back on the record.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.
Mr. Chairman, I have now placed the opposite side of the rifle to the floor, and may the record show that the package is much flatter The rifle when inserted firstly was turned on the side of the bolt which operates the rifle which forced it up higher.
Now does the package look more familiar to you, Mrs. Paine?

Mrs. Paine.

I recall it as being more like this, not as lumpy as the other had been.

Mr. Jenner.

More in the form it is now?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Now directing your attention to the rifle itself, which is Commission Exhibit 189, when did you first see that rifle, if you have ever seen--

Mrs. Paine.

I saw a rifle I judge to have been the same one at the police station on the afternoon of November 22, I don't recall the strap.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't recall at the time you saw it on the 22d of November in the police station that it had a strap?

Mrs. Paine.

It may well have had one but I don't specifically recall it. I was interested in the sight

Mr. Jenner.

Had you ever seen this rifle prior to the afternoon of November 22?

Mrs. Paine.

No.
(At this point, Senator Cooper entered the hearing room.)

Mr. Jenner.

Now, we do have some particular interest, Mrs. Paine, in the rifle strap. Had you ever had around your house a luggage strap or a guitar strap similar to the strap that appears on Commission Exhibit 139?

Mrs. Paine.

No; in fact, I don't recall ever seeing a strap of that nature.

Mr. Jenner.

Whether in your home or anywhere else?

Mrs. Paine.

Precisely.

Mr. Jenner.

And you are unable to identify or suggest its source?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

What do you have in your home, Mrs. Paine, by way of heavy wrapping paper?

Mrs. Paine.

I have the sort of paper you buy at the dime store to wrap packages, about 36 inches long, coming in a roll.

Mr. Jenner.

Exhibiting to you Commission Exhibit No. 364, is the wrapping paper that you have in your home as heavy as that?

Mrs. Paine.

I don't believe it is quite that heavy and it certainly isn't quite that long. Well, it could have been cut the otherway, couldn't it, possibly?

Mr. Jenner.

What about its shade, color?

Mrs. Paine.

It would be similar to that.

Mr. Jenner.

Similar in shade.

Do you have the broad banded sticky tape or sticky tape of this nature?

Mrs. Paine.

There is no tape this wide in my home nor to my recollection has there ever been.

Mr. Jenner.

You have whole rolls of this tape, of the paper in your home?

Mrs. Paine.

A whole roll.

Mr. Jenner.

A whole roll?

Mrs. Paine.

Which I use for wrapping packages, mailing.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have string in your home that you use in attaching to this wrapping?
