Mrs. Paine. I heard that the shot had been made——
Mr. McCloy. Coming from the Texas School Book Depository?
Mrs. Paine. Schoolbook depository, and I believe I also said I didn't know there was a building on Elm.
Senator Cooper. Why did you go out to tell her, this fact?
Mrs. Paine. I felt this was terribly close, somebody working in that building had been there. I thought Lee might be able to say somewhat about what happened, had been close to the event. This was my thought, that we would know somebody who would be able to give or possibly give a first-hand——
Senator Cooper. Did you have any thought at all that Lee Oswald might have been the man who fired the shot?
Mrs. Paine. Absolutely none; no.
Mr. Jenner. Why was that, Mrs. Paine?
Mrs. Paine. I had never thought of him as a violent man. He had never said anything against President Kennedy, nor anything about President Kennedy. I had no idea that he had a gun. There was nothing that I had seen about him that indicated a man with that kind of grudge or hostility.
Mr. McCloy. But you told this to Marina because of the association of Lee Oswald with the schoolbook depository?
