Mr. Hubert. Do you think that the inclusion in these two statements of his phrase "Son-of-a-bitch," was more important than his statement of his intent?
Mr. Archer. Sir, at the time, it is like I say, whenever I gave the statements I had in mind as to what I saw at the time of the shooting, and that did take place at the time of the shooting, and I didn't go into great detail as to what took place after we took him into custody, took him upstairs and searched him and all. In other words, I had in mind that if anyone wanted to know about it, well, they would be afforded a chance for me to relate that.
Mr. Hubert. When, in fact, did they find out that you had this knowledge?
Mr. Archer. I don't recall the exact time or day.
Mr. Hubert. Did you file another report than those we have here?
Mr. Archer. I have another report that is the part mental interview which was taken, as I recall, from the date, on November 30th, which was a continuing inquiry as to how Ruby got into the basement of the city hall. I believe that it was taken by Lieutenant McCaghren and Lieutenant C. C. Wallace.
Mr. Hubert. In that statement you did not mention what Ruby told you concerning his intent either, did you?
Mr. Archer. No, sir; I did not at that time.
Mr. Hubert. When did you first convey that information to anyone at all?
Mr. Archer. To Mr. Alexander with the district attorney's office, when he made a court inquiry at the city hall.
