Mr. Griffin. Did you talk to any reserve officers out there at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. Montgomery. No; I don’t believe I did.
Mr. Griffin. As you took Oswald out to Parkland Hospital, was it generally known among all the people who were escorting Oswald to Parkland that Ruby had been the guy?
Mr. Montgomery. Well, of course, I was in the car with Captain Fritz, Beck, and Brown, and as far as any ambulance, where Oswald was, I don’t know if it——
Mr. Griffin. All the people in your car knew it was Ruby?
Mr. Montgomery. No; Captain Fritz didn’t know who it was. They didn’t know each other.
Mr. Griffin. He knew the name of the man who had shot Oswald was Ruby at that time, didn’t he?
Mr. Montgomery. Yes, he knew that. We discussed it there in the car that—going out to the hospital—that Jack Ruby shot him.
Mr. Griffin. Now, you took Oswald into Parkland Hospital—were there people asking you who shot him?
Mr. Montgomery. No, because I didn’t go in with the body—I say, “the body”—Oswald. Of course when the ambulance—beat us to the hospital.
