Mr. Liebeler. [Measuring]. The witness indicates a length of approximately 27 inches.
Mr. Krystinik. Michael might have had his hands up 2 or 3 inches different from that.
Mr. Liebeler. To the best of your recollection, Michael indicated the length of about 27 inches?
Mr. Krystinik. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. He told you that he did not suspect at any time prior to the assassination that this package contained a rifle, is that correct?
Mr. Krystinik. That's correct. Or a gun. He didn't state rifle in reference to the weapon.
Michael had commented briefly that he had never had a gun or would not have a gun in his house. He is opposed. I would assume he is opposed to killing men. I know he is opposed to killing animals, and he doesn't believe in violence at all.
Mr. Liebeler. Aside from this remark that you made about Michael Paine, is there anything else that you can think of that you would like to tell us in connection with either the assassination or Michael Paine at this point?
Mr. Krystinik. Nothing I can think of now. I have taken enough of your time. I can't really think of anything that is concrete from beginning to end that I feel would help you. I don't know of anything that is important.
Mr. Liebeler. How well do you know Ruth Paine?
