Mr. Liebeler. Did you hear him ask Marina to move into Dallas with him?
Mrs. Paine. No.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you think that he might have asked her to do that?
Mrs. Paine. She told me, and it should be there, that he had expressed to her—she told me the night of the 22d that he had expressed to her his wish that they could get together as soon as possible and have their apartment together. The setting in which she told me this left me with the impression that she was confused and hurt that he could be making a gesture toward the reestablishing of their family life when at the same time he must have been thinking about doing something that would necessarily destroy their family life. There was no indication to her, in what she told me, that he meant for her to do it right away. I have since heard this by rumor.
Mr. Liebeler. Now, I'm going to read some more of the testimony to you momentarily, some of Marina's testimony, and I want to discuss it with you, but there is one bit of it particularly that I am confused about just from reading it and I get from it the possible inference and you also, I believe, indicate on page 49 of your testimony, that on the evening of the 21st you and Marina discussed plans for Christmas?
Mrs. Paine. Well, I think it was then—I'm not positive that it was that night.
Mr. Liebeler. Was there any conversation between you and Marina to the effect that Oswald was not to come back to Irving any more until Christmas time?
Mrs. Paine. Oh, absolutely not.
Mr. Liebeler. There was no indication that his pattern of coming on weekends was to change in any manner?
Mrs. Paine. No; we had previously talked in terms of their staying at the house through Christmas and then the Oswalds getting an apartment again when they had saved up a little money, around the first of the year.
