I feel the correlation came through the fact that Michael had told me about him getting a job at the Texas School Depository, and when I heard the name again, I feel that was the correlation that brought his name to my mind. A lot of these things, I don't know where or how they come to mind.
Mr. Liebeler. After you heard that Oswald had been apprehended in connection with the slaying of Officer Tippit, did you and Michael Paine then associate Oswald with the assassination of the President?
Mr. Krystinik. I did, and I feel that Michael did also.
Mr. Liebeler. What did you and Michael say to each other just very shortly after the word had come through?
Mr. Krystinik. I can't really remember. Michael said that he felt that he should be going home, that Ruth and Marina are both going to be muchly upset and there was going to be people at the house asking questions, and he felt he should be there to answer them. He did say, if I can answer, "I feel I should be there."
Mr. Liebeler. He said that prior to the time that Oswald had been publicly connected with the assassination, is that correct?
Mr. Krystinik. I just really don't know. Prior to Oswald's being apprehended, there was a description of the man on the radio, if I remember correctly, and the shot had been—it had been reported that—can we go back just a little bit?
Mr. Liebeler. Sure.
Mr. Krystinik. More of this is coming back.
Mr. Liebeler. Surely.
