Mr. Mamantov. No—the question was asked if he hunted here or not and reply to why did he have the gun—because she said he had hunted in Russia, he always liked guns, he always played with the gun.
Mr. Jenner. Was she questioned at all on the subject whether he had hunted with this rifle or any other gun in the United States?
Mr. Mamantov. Not in my presence.
Mr. Jenner. Was she questioned on the subject of whether she had seen him or was aware of the fact, if it be the fact, that he occasionally or on one or more occasions had the gun, say, out in the yard of their home in New Orleans or out in the yard or courtyard in Fort Worth, sighting it and pulling the trigger—dry sighting; do you know what dry sighting is?
Mr. Mamantov. Right—no, she wasn't asked.
Mr. Jenner. Was she asked in your presence whether there was an incident in which there was an attempt on the life of General Walker?
Mr. Mamantov. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Nothing about that at all?
Mr. Mamantov. Nothing about that.
Mr. Jenner. In other words, at the risk of boring you and the reporter, she was not questioned on this information when you were doing the translating or interpreting about any use of the rifle by him, dry sighting, hunting, or otherwise in the United States?
