What was the supposed significance of Mrs. Whitworth's allegation that Marina was at the furniture mart, anyhow?
Per Mrs. Paine herself:
"7. On none of the above occasions did we shop in or visit or enter any furniture store. This includes the Furniture Mart, a store that was located at 149 East Irving Boulevard, Irving, Texas, which I now understand was owned and operated during its existence by one Edith Whitworth.8. There were only two occasions during all the period in the Fall of 1963 that I took Marina and Lee together in my station wagon to Dallas, Texas, or anywhere in Irving, Texas. One occasion was a trip to Dallas, Texas, the morning of November 9, 1963, which I have mentioned above. (The other is described in paragraph 14.) I do not know Mrs. Whitworth. I never visited her place of business, nor did I ever drive Lee Oswald or Marina to that place of business; and, to the best of my knowledge and recollection, Marina was never at or in that place of business with or without Lee Oswald during the period she resided in my home in the Fall of 1963."

Where were they trying to go with this line of questioning?
Also,
on a side note ... I have seen numerous allegations here and elsewhere that the Paine's were intelligence assets.
However, if that was the case, I keep coming across statements by Mrs. Paine that are strongly in support of Oswald,
and that contradict the questioning of the authorities in ways that lend defense to Oswald, some times even a the expense of casting doubt on his wife -- one strong example the supposed rifle in the garage that Marina claims to have seen, Mrs. Paine testifies outright, "I don't remember it being that easy to see. Exposed like that. I remember it being wrapped pretty well" (i mean that is pretty damning of Marina, and *supports* LHO, not throw him under the bus). [btw, Paine quote there a rough paraphrase]
