Mr. Liebeler. Or having been at a meeting at which you subsequently learned that he was present, although you didn't see him?
Mr. Paine. That's right—I can't remember about the previous year, but I don't think that has relevancy.
Mr. Liebeler. Well, since the time you met Oswald—you were at no meetings at which General Walker was present, to your knowledge?
Mr. Paine. That's true.
Mr. Liebeler. Marina Oswald goes on to testify and I will recapitulate part of it, "After they came back from some meeting, my husband said to me something about Walker being at this meeting and he said, 'Paine knows that I shot him.'"
Do you have any reason to believe that—the first question, of course, is and I have already asked you that and you testified you did not know Oswald shot Walker prior to the assassination of President Kennedy; is that correct?
Mr. Paine. That's right.
Mr. Liebeler. Now, do you have any reason to believe that Oswald might have thought that you knew that he, Oswald, had shot at General Walker?
Mr. Paine. I can't see how he would have thought I knew that. I just don't see—he might have said something that revealed that and I didn't catch his meaning, so it never sunk in to me at all, that is, to assume that he wasn't lying and that is the only way I can explain it.
Mr. Liebeler. So that you think that this testimony that Marina has given is either the result of a misapprehension, or a lie on Oswald's part or on Marina's part?
