Mr. Burleson. What did he say?
Mrs. Grant. He says, “I’m in the Dallas Morning News,” and I could hear—it wasn’t distinct, but he says, “The people are all around here, the phones are ringing like hell and everyone is canceling their subscriptions and their ads—big ads from all over the State,” and he said, “Did you read it?” And so I read it again.
Mr. Burleson. While he was waiting?
Mrs. Grant. No; but I mean since then—I looked at it—I’ll be honest about it, I didn’t comprehend it.
Mr. Burleson. Okay.
Mrs. Grant. You see, I didn’t comprehend it.
Mr. Burleson. Tell us what else he said.
Mrs. Grant. Well, Jack said something about John Newman, the fellow that takes the ads there and he says, “You know, Jack, I have to take orders from my superiors,” and Jack, whether he told me that night or later on in the afternoon— he said, “What are you—so money hungry? That you have to take $1,500 for an ad?” Jack knew a full page cost approximately that—I mean, he is well aware of that.
Mr. Burleson. Let me bring you forward a little bit on these occasions that you told the FBI about in these statements where Jack spent this time with you at your house—would you watch television during this period of time or some of the time?
Mrs. Grant. Well, he didn’t. I had watched it a great deal that afternoon on a Friday, and he came over—it seems to me when he left the News he came over and came back later on with a lot of groceries and by that time either I saw Curry or somebody else on the television and he was saying, “We got the right man.”
