Mr. Ruby. When are you going back to Washington?
Chief Justice Warren. I am going back very shortly after we finish this hearing—I am going to have some lunch.
Mr. Ruby. Can I make a statement?
Chief Justice Warren. Yes.
Mr. Ruby. If you request me to go back to Washington with you right now, that couldn't be done, could it?
Chief Justice Warren. No; it could not be done. It could not be done. There are a good many things involved in that, Mr. Ruby.
Mr. Ruby. What are they?
Chief Justice Warren. Well, the public attention that it would attract, and the people who would be around. We have no place there for you to be safe when we take you out, and we are not law enforcement officers, and it isn't our responsibility to go into anything of that kind.
And certainly it couldn't be done on a moment's notice this way.
Mr. Ruby. Well, from what I read in the paper, they made certain precautions for you coming here, but you got here.
