Mr. Griffin. Did they pass on any information about anything Ruby had said?
Mr. Montgomery. No.
Mr. Griffin. No; did you people talk at all with Ruby as you brought him downstairs?
Mr. Montgomery. I’m sure we did, and I am trying to remember what we said. Let’s see.
Mr. Griffin. Well, now, you knew Ruby. Did you try to get him to open up on the way down?
Mr. Montgomery. No; I didn’t. Usually when we are bringing a prisoner down I don’t try to talk to them too much. I don’t want to upset anything, you know, any plans he has to talk to him.
Mr. Griffin. Now, did Captain Fritz know that you were acquainted with Ruby?
Mr. Montgomery. He knew when I told him; yes.
Mr. Griffin. When did you tell him that?
Mr. Montgomery. As we was going out to Parkland Hospital. He kept saying, “Who is Jack Ruby?” And I told him, “He is a man that runs the Club Vegas out on Oak Lawn.”
