Mr. Rankin. You mean the third person in the group apparently conferring?
Mr. Lane. Yes. Tippit, Weissman, and Ruby.
The Chairman. Have you made any public statement of this kind before on this subject—about this meeting?
Mr. Lane. Not about Ruby—about a meeting between Weissman and Tippit, yes.
The Chairman. But you never named Ruby publicly?
Mr. Lane. No; I have not. I shall not.
The Chairman. I see. Do you know any way by which we might corroborate that meeting—the fact that it was held?
Mr. Lane. I am going this evening to see, or tomorrow—I will try this evening first—to see if I can secure permission by my informant to reveal his name, and I hope he will be willing to come forward and testify as to what took place.
The Chairman. The Commission would like to know it, if you can do that.
Mr. Lane. Yes; I shall inform you as soon as I discover that. I would like very much for the Commission to have that information. Can I indicate to my informant that the matter can be so raised so that his name will not be known to anyone other than the Commission?
