Mr. Jenner. You were then frightened; were you not?
Mr. Weissman. Yes, sir. And we went across through traffic and up a street and down a street and lost this individual and jumped into the car and took off back to the apartment. And to this day I do not know whether it was Ruby—because frankly my recollection of the individual on the pictures I have seen of Ruby in the newspapers, they do not seem to jibe—just the size. This fellow was about 5 foot 6 or so. He was wearing tan clothing with a Stetson hat, a tan Stetson hat.
Mr. Jenner. A typical Texas western hat, sometimes called a 10-gallon hat?
Mr. Weissman. That's right. And this is about the only thing else I have to add.
Mr. Jenner. Did he follow you?
Mr. Weissman. He followed us from the box down the steps of the post office to the traffic light. We crossed the street, he walked up the other side of the street adjacent to the post office, directly opposite us. And we were going halfway up and he started to cross the corner. We quickly ran back to the corner, across which we came. At that time Bill had come around the corner in the car, he knew nothing about it, we jumped in, sat down low and went in a straight line, made the turn and went back to the apartment. And I have never seen the individual since.
Mr. Dulles. This post office box from which you were taking the mail, was that box the one that was advertised in the paper?
Mr. Weissman. Yes.
Mr. Dulles. So that the number of that box was known.
Mr. Weissman. Yes; it was. This individual was obviously waiting for me. I did not see him. Ken pointed him out to me. We expected possibly some sort of trouble there. And Ken was walking about 6 feet to the right of me, on another side of the post office tables that are in the middle of the aisle. So if I got in any difficulty he would be there to help. And he noticed this individual and pointed him out to me. And this fellow just followed us right out, and that was that.
