Mrs. Paine. No—never—that has absolutely not occurred to me.
Mr. Liebeler. Of course; my question doesn't mean to imply that she is so responsible. Had you and Michael ever discussed Oswald's alleged attack on General Walker?
Mrs. Paine. You mean since the assassination of President Kennedy—have we discussed it?
Mr. Liebeler. Yes—at any time.
Mrs. Paine. I suppose we have—I'm sure we have talked of it.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Michael ever indicate to you in any way that he had knowledge of Oswald's attack on General Walker prior to November 22, 1963?
Mrs. Paine. I would be absolutely certain he had not—his indications were such that he had no such information.
Mr. Liebeler. By that answer you mean to say, one, that he did not indicate to you before the assassination that he did have knowledge, and, two, after the assassination when it became known that Oswald had been involved in the General Walker shooting, Michael didn't indicate then that he had had any prior knowledge of it?
Mrs. Paine. That's correct. Of course, it wasn't until several days—more than a week after the assassination that something was printed about Oswald there having been involved in an attempt on Walker.
Mr. Liebeler. But as far as you know, Michael knew nothing about that until he found out about it in the newspaper?
