Mr. Wade. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. Can I make a statement? I will have to go to my office for a few minutes. I hope to return in about 20 minutes, and I will ask Mr. Dulles to preside in my place, and I will return.
Mr. Wade. Thank you, sir.
(At this point, Senator Cooper withdrew from the hearing room.)
Mr. Dulles. Proceed.
Mr. Rankin. Will you proceed?
Mr. Wade. Yes, sir; so they said, "Have you filed on him?" At that stage, started yelling has he been filed on, and I said yes, and filed on for murder with malice, and they asked Judge Johnston, is there—they asked him something.
Then they started asking me questions everywhere, from all angles.
Mr. Rankin. Under your practice, what do you mean by file on him? Is that something different than an arraignment?
Mr. Wade. Well, of course, it is according to the terminology and what you mean by arraignment. In Texas the only arraignment is when you get ready to try him. Like we arraigned Ruby just before we started putting on evidence. That is the only arraignment we have, actually.
