Mr. Stovall. We went on down to them and drove up in front of the house and parked and got out and walked up to the front door and Adamcik and two of the officers went to the back and Rose and I went, and the other officers went to the front door and we knocked on the door, we could see some people inside the house and we could see through the front door, the door was open and the television was playing and Ruth Paine came to the door and identified herself to us. She said, "Yes; you are here about this mess that's on television."
Mr. Ball. What did you tell her about that?
Mr. Stovall. At that time we told her that we wanted to search the house. We explained to her that we did not have a search warrant but if she wanted us to get one we would, and she said, "That won't be necessary"—for us to come right on in, so we went on in the house and started to search out the house, and the part of the house that I searched was the front bedroom where Marina Oswald was staying. There are quite a few items on the list of property I have—I believe you have a copy of it. There are two that were taken out of that bedroom there—a bunch of camera equipment, for one thing.
Mr. Ball. Now, I want to go backward at the moment—have you identified that property from your list, and can you tell me what was the division of labor there between you officers when you were permitted to search the house, you went into the bedroom; who went with you?
Mr. Stovall. I don't believe there was anybody went with me at the time I went in. I heard—I think Rose started to the back bedroom, which would be Ruth Paine's bedroom and Ruth Paine was standing there talking to him—I could hear her talking to him and she told him that Marina suggested that he look out into the garage and so they looked and they were out of my sight then.
Mr. Ball. You heard Ruth say to Rose that Marina had suggested he look in the garage?
Mr. Stovall. Yes.
Mr. Ball. Did you hear Ruth Paine tell him why Mariana had made that suggestion—what her reasons for it were?
Mr. Stovall. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Ball. So, you think that Rose went to the garage?
