Mr. Beaty. Oh, yes.
Mr. Griffin. Could you tell us how you happened to first become familiar with Mr. Ruby?
Mr. Beaty. When I first met him?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Beaty. Well, I wrote him a traffic ticket one time about 1951, or something like that. But I knew of him before then.
He had a joint down on South Ervay, and he was always calling the police to pick up drunks and one thing and another. Everybody knows Jack Ruby.
Mr. Griffin. It was the Silver Spur?
Mr. Beaty. That's right.
Mr. Griffin. In connection with your duties in the narcotics bureau, did you ever have occasion to talk with him or conduct any investigation in connection with him?
Mr. Beaty. About narcotics specifically?
