Mr. Griffin. As you people went into the hospital, were there people asking you who shot——
Mr. Montgomery. People doing a lot of talking. I don’t know if they were asking questions or what, because we weren’t paying a lot of attention to them.
Mr. Griffin. If somebody had asked you who shot Oswald, might you have said Ruby did it?
Mr. Montgomery. No; I wouldn’t have.
Mr. Griffin. I might explain to you what I am getting at. We know that somewhere along the line somebody was out at Parkland Hospital who was a newspaperman at——
Mr. Montgomery. Uh-huh.
Mr. Griffin. Learned that Ruby was the person. This started a rumor to the effect that his informant must have had something to do with it, and I am really asking you this question to see if it isn’t possible that you guys, as you guys got out to Parkland, somebody had said Ruby was the guy and just by dropping the words, you know, that would spread like wildfire out there.
Mr. Montgomery. No; I didn’t say anything about who it was that done the shooting, out there.
Mr. Griffin. What time did you arrive back at the homicide bureau?
Mr. Montgomery. What time?
