Mrs. Grant. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. How long have you known him?
Mrs. Grant. I heard his name around the house 30 years—Jack knew him when they were young.
Mr. Hubert. Did you know that Jack had called him on the night of the President’s death?
Mrs. Grant. Yes; I do.
Mr. Hubert. Can you tell us how you knew it?
Mrs. Grant. Either late that evening or the next day he talked to Al and there was something in the conversation—Al was here early in the fall and in fact coming through—I was in the hospital and he promised Al a dog and it seems to me I called him—I must have called him later on; anyway, when I did call him a week or so later or whenever I did, I don’t know, but it was after this incident, Al said, “You know, Jack was crying when he called me on the day of the assassination?”
Mr. Hubert. Did Jack himself tell you he had called?
Mrs. Grant. No; Al told me. I had called Al myself. I had called Al within 10 days of the President’s assassination, something regarding to the dog.
Mr. Hubert. Yes, ma’am; I understand that—you mean before the President’s assassination?
