Mr. Liebeler. So then you left for your home in Irving?
Mr. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. You left for home before there had been any public connection made between Oswald and the assassination, is that correct?
Mr. Paine. Well, of course, the police were reporting they had suspects here and suspects there, were chasing suspects over here, and here was a man who had shot Officer Tippit. They didn't even mention him as a suspect, but there was another murder coincident in time.
Mr. Liebeler. So the news broadcast connected Oswald with Officer Tippit?
Mr. Paine. That is right.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you then consider again whether or not Oswald had been involved in the assassination?
Mr. Paine. Well, that was too much to have his name mentioned away from his place of work as having killed somebody; the stew was too thick to stay at work, and I was shaken too much, anyway.
Mr. Liebeler. So your testimony is that you first thought of Oswald after you heard of the Texas School Book Depository Building being involved in the assassination, but you concluded at that time that Oswald was probably not involved in the assassination; is that correct?
Mr. Paine. That is correct.
