Mr. Redlich. Do you know Jack Ruby?
Mr. Martin. Yes.
Mr. Redlich. Would you tell us about your association with him?
Mr. Martin. Well, it is a very minor association. I had been working in the Statler Hotel in Dallas as assistant manager for maybe six months before I met him, and met him through some of the other people in the hotel.
Mr. Dulles. What year was this?
Mr. Martin. About 1955.
Mr. Dulles. I just want to get the general area.
Mr. Martin. 1955 or 1956. And as a club manager, I was club manager in Dallas also, and didn't associate with him at all, even on a bilateral communication through the clubs. But it was just a nodding acquaintance, you might say. I knew him by his first name. He knew me by my first name and we spoke when we saw each other and I think I have been in his place twice.
Mr. Redlich. Do you recall the approximate dates of those visits?
Mr. Martin. Let's see, once in 1962. I had some gentlemen from New Orleans with me. They were visiting Dallas on business at the Inn of the Six Flags, and they wanted to see the Carousel.
