Mr. Dean. He was stripped to his shorts.
Mr. Griffin. Now, what did you do when you got up there?
Mr. Dean. I walked immediately to him. I heard—well, immediately I told him, I said, "This is Mr. Forrest V. Sorrels"—started the introduction, and Ruby stopped me and he said, "I know who he is. He is with the FBI." Mr. Sorrels then informed him. He said, "No. I am not with the FBI. I am with the Secret Service." And then he again told him, "I want you to know that I am not with the FBI. I am with the Secret Service." And so Ruby said something to the effect, "Well, I knew that you were working for the Government."
Mr. Griffin. Do you remember Ruby making any remark to Sorrels to the effect, "Are you with the newspapermen"?
Mr. Dean. Yes, sir. I recall most all of that conversation.
Mr. Griffin. Tell us what that conversation was.
Mr. Dean. After Sorrels had identified himself as a Secret Service man, he said, "I want to ask you some questions." And then Ruby asked him, "Is this for the magazines or press?" And he said, "No. It's for my information, as an agent." And he said, "Okay. I will answer all your questions."
Mr. Griffin. Do you remember any discussion with him, anything Sorrels said about his acquaintanceship in the Jewish community?
Mr. Dean. Sorrels asked him first, I believe——
Mr. Griffin. No. I am not making myself clear. I am sorry. Did Sorrels say anything to Ruby about Sorrels' acquaintanceship among the Jewish merchants, that you recall?
