Mr. Dean. Mutual friend or——
Mr. Griffin. This would be somebody that would be interested in sort of riding with the police officer, like newspaper reporters do?
Mr. Dean. Yes, sir. "In addition, Dean said he had gone to the club while off duty on four occasions." I would say four would be the outside, but I think I have been there only three times since I have known him, since 1960 or 1961 [indicating].
Mr. Griffin. Why don't you change that, then. When is the time you were there most recently?
Mr. Dean. The last time I had been in his place was—well, we will say relative to the shooting, I haven't been in there since, and I think 6 or 8 months before would be the last time I had been in there, and in fact, that long since I had seen Ruby.
Mr. Griffin. Did you know any of Ruby's employees?
Mr. Dean. By name. No, sir.
Mr. Griffin. But you knew them to talk to?
Mr. Dean. To speak only. The people that were in the trial, well, George Senator, I didn't know his name. I couldn't place it—knew the face but I didn't know his name until the trial, and he was a bartender regularly at the club.
Mr. Griffin. Now, was he the bartender there on a regular basis in 1960 or 1961?
