Mr. Ruby. Not when you specify this.
You are Senator Rankin?
Mr. Rankin. No; I am the general counsel for our Commission, Mr. Ruby.
Mr. Tonahill. You go on and keep telling it down to Caroline and the truth.
Chief Justice Warren. Mr. Ruby, may I suggest this, that if we are to have any tests, either a lie detector or, as you suggest, maybe a truth serum—I don't know anything about truth serum, but if we are to have it, we have to have something to check against, and we would like to have the rest of your story as you started to tell us, because you are now getting down to the crucial part of it, and it wouldn't be fair to you to have this much of it and then not have the rest.
Mr. Ruby. Because the reason why, Joe knows from the time that I told Attorney Belli, and the story I wanted to tell on the stand, and Mr. Tonahill knows this isn't the time. The thought never entered my mind. He knows it.
Mr. Tonahill. I didn't say the thought entered your mind. I didn't say that.
Mr. Ruby. You are inferring that.
Mr. Tonahill. Unconsciously, maybe, is what I meant to say.
Mr. Ruby. Why go back to Friday, Joe?
