Mr. Hubert. Did you indicate to him that if he had any accomplices or wanted to clarify the shooting of the President, that he had better do it right quick?
Mr. Combest. Not in those words. I didn't mention "accomplice," or anything. I was real excited at the time but I kept talking to him as long as I thought that he would try to answer me, hoping that he would give a dying declaration on the shooting.
Mr. Hubert. And you think you used language sufficiently clear to him to indicate to him that in your opinion he was dying and on account of the fact that he was dying it was just about the last time he would have a chance to say anything about the shooting of the President, or the shooting?
Mr. Combest. Yes, sir; that's correct.
Mr. Hubert. Did you see Ruby thereafter?
Mr. Combest. What was the question, sir?
Mr. Hubert. Did you see Ruby, thereafter?
Mr. Combest. I didn't see him until after he had passed through the jail office. Now, in the jail elevator. The next time I saw him at the preliminary hearing in Judge Brown's office in the court house.
Mr. Hubert. You didn't hear him say anything else?
Mr. Combest. No, sir.
