I never made the statement to anyone that I intended to get him. I never used the obscene words that were stated.
Anything I said was with emotional feeling of I didn't want Mrs. Kennedy to come back to trial.
Representative Ford. It has been alleged that you went out to Parkland Hospital.
Mr. Ruby. No; I didn't go there. They tried to ask me. My sisters asked me. Some people told my sister that you were there. I am of sound mind. I never went there. Everything that transpired during the tragedy, I was at the Morning News Building.
Congressman Ford. You didn't go out there subsequent to the assassination?
Mr. Ruby. No; in other words, like somebody is trying to make me something of a martyr in that case. No; I never did.
Does this conflict with my story and yours in great length?
Mr. Moore. Substantially the same, Jack, as well as I remember.
Mr. Rankin. Did you say anything about people of your religion have guts, or something like that?
Mr. Ruby. I said it. I never said it up there. I said, I could have said, "Weren't you afraid of getting your head blown off?" I said, "Well, to be truthful, I have a little nerve." I could have said that.
