Mrs. Paine. Been in the garage.
Mr. Jenner. Prior to the time you entered the garage around 9 o'clock that evening. Had it come to your attention in any manner or fashion that he had been in the garage earlier in the evening, I mean, apart from this particular circumstance you have now related?
Mrs. Paine. I don't know how long he had been out of it when I went in and found the light on. It is my impression he had been in it some time between the dinner hour and the time I entered.
Mr. Jenner. Now, sitting as I am, in the dining room area of your kitchen—dining room space—even if, as you have testified was the fact, that either you alone or you and Marina were washing the dishes and cleaning up at least after dinner, it would have been virtually impossible, wouldn't it, for anybody to have entered the garage without your noticing it, that is, entering from the kitchen-dining room area?
Mrs. Paine. I would think so.
Mr. Jenner. And, would that not be especially true if you were in the dining room portion of the kitchen-dining room area?
Mrs. Paine. That would be unquestionably true—if you were in the kitchen-dining area at all.
Mr. Jenner. But you were not, I gather, at all times that evening up to 9 o'clock, in the kitchen-dining room area; is that correct?
Mrs. Paine. I was in the kitchen-dining area part of the time, occasionally, I would say.
Mr. Jenner. Were your children retired when you went into the garage, at the time you went into the garage to lacquer your boxes?
