Mr. Griffin. Hosty?
Mrs. Grant. Hosty came, and I showed him the pills. I think there were 2 dozen originally. And I didn’t start taking them until a few days before. I don’t remember, I think the pills were given to me around the 15th or 16th of the month. I took some, and I had called Dr. Aranoff, and Dr. Bookatz. He was his associate, somebody. After I had taken the pills, I called the nurse, either Bloom or Blum or something, and I told her these pills put me in a trance. I am stiff and I can’t think. And she said cut down to one every 4 hours.
Mr. Griffin. Let me interrupt you a second. I want to keep on the track.
Mrs. Grant. I want to explain, I was taking these pills. I had taken one that morning.
Mr. Griffin. You were taking pills, and that is when Jack called you?
Mrs. Grant. No. I had taken one early in the morning and went back to bed, and I took one about 4 or 5 hours later before Pauline called me.
Mr. Griffin. Did Jack call you before you heard this man on television who said he thought——
Mrs. Grant. Yes; he talked to me earlier in the morning. When I say early in the morning, it could have been 10:30.
Mr. Griffin. Now, after you learned that the President had been shot, and you talked with Pauline Hall, did you then talk with Jack before you heard the man on channel 8, or after you heard the man on channel 8?
Mrs. Grant. No; I heard the man first, because just as the—this is his word—Jack said, “Isn’t that awful?”
