Mr. Rankin. What is the fact in that regard?
Mr. Curry. The fact of that as far as I know there are a very small percentage of the Dallas Police Department that knows Jack Ruby.
Mr. Rankin. Did you make an inquiry to find out?
Mr. Curry. Yes; I did, yes, sir. And so far as I know most of the men who knew Jack Ruby are men who were assigned to the vice squad of the police department or who had worked the radio patrol district where he had places and in the course——
Mr. Rankin. How many men would that be?
Mr. Curry. I am guessing, perhaps 25 men. This is merely a guess on my part.
Mr. Rankin. How large is your police force?
Mr. Curry. Approximately 1,200. I would say 1,175 people. I would say less, I believe less than 50 people knew him. From what I have found out since then that he is the type that if he saw a policeman, or he came to his place of business he would probably run up and make himself acquainted with him.
I also have learned since this time he tried to ingratiate himself with any of the news media or any of the reporters who had anything to do, he was always constantly trying to get publicity for his clubs or for himself.
Mr. Rankin. Now, at this showup, is there some screen between the person in custody?
