Mr. Jenner. From that, you conclude what?
Mrs. Paine. Well, that she was willing to mislead by implication. And I would judge that she knew about the application for a passport, and this was never mentioned. All the times that she mentioned that she might have to go back to Russia, the implication was that she alone was going back. And this doesn't appear to have been fully the case.
Mr. Jenner. What leads you to say that—it wasn't fully the case in what sense?
Mrs. Paine. Well, in the sense that Lee had at least applied for a passport to get him to Russia.
Mr. Jenner. You are rationalizing from the fact that you know now that he applied for a passport?
Mrs. Paine. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. You conclude from that that she must have known of that application and the fact that he received it?
Mrs. Paine. And, of course, that is rationalization.
Mr. Jenner. That is the only basis on which you make that statement? That is what I am getting at.
Mrs. Paine. Yes; I think that is all.
