Mr. Combest. At the time I told him, "No," I did not and I explained possibly where they had gotten their information was that a reserve police officer had made a statement to some news media that he had worked for Jack Ruby, but he is not a regular policeman for the city of Dallas, and I also told him that possibly what they had heard that this L. L. Newman, who formerly worked for the Texas Liquor Control Board was working at the Theatre Lounge in the downtown area, and possibly that was what they had heard.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, you actually told them that there were two Newmans involved, one who had been a reserve officer——
Mr. Combest. No, sir; I do not recall the name of the reserve officer.
Mr. Hubert. Two different individuals, one, who had been a reserve officer and one who had been with the Texas Liquor Control Board?
Mr. Combest. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. And your statement to them was that possibly what they were thinking about when they were questioning you was that the Newman who had worked for the Texas Liquor Control Board was the one you thought had once worked for the Theatre Lounge?
Mr. Combest. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Now, did Ruby have any connection with the Theatre Lounge?
Mr. Combest. No, sir; none whatsoever.
