Mr. Rankin. The story you were just referring to in the Dallas Morning News is Commission Exhibit 343.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 343 for identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. Lane. That's correct.
Well, now, Oswald allegedly had shot the President and has walked some, talked to an officer, was calm, walked some seven blocks to find a bus which was going to take him back to where he left, and then got off and got—entered into a taxi after he had walked some two blocks from where he left the bus. And this taxi he entered of course a minute before the President was shot, if the taxi driver's log is accurate—after Oswald had done all these things, after allegedly shooting the President and the Governor.
Then the taxi driver drove him directly past his own home, according to the statement and—past Oswald's Dallas rooming house, until he arrived at a scene about a half a mile beyond Oswald's house, where Oswald then left the taxi, and then walked or ran home to secure a jacket—leaving behind, although one would assume he is now giving considering to escaping, the $150 in the dresser drawer, and taking just his jacket with him.
Mr. Rankin. Which dresser drawer?
Mr. Lane. This is in Dallas.
Mr. Rankin. Not at the Paine's?
Mr. Lane. Not at the Paine's. I do not know if there was money at the Paine's, but if he had money there, he left that behind the night before, knowing he was going to——
Mr. Rankin. But the $150 you are speaking of was in his rooming house at Dallas.
