Mr. Griffin. Now, is there anything else as you read through that, that you want to change?
Mrs. Cheek. [Reading.] You know, you talk to people about investments like Jack Ruby, but I have talked to a number of people. You may not just have an idea that you would invest, if you would make some money. I had no idea that I would. This is nothing permanent about this at all. I was just talking to the people, just went down and talked to him just like I talked to Bill Martin. Bill Martin could have killed President Kennedy and it would have been the same thing when I talked to him if he did it.
I was so surprised when I heard that Jack Ruby killed Oswald and all this happened, it just floored me. I thought it was the awfulest thing I had ever heard of. I didn’t figure that man doing such a thing, after talking to him down there. He didn’t seem like a criminal.
Mr. Griffin. What kind of man did he seem like?
Mrs. Cheek. He seemed like a, well, he was kind of a nervous person, but you wouldn’t have thought that he would murder anyone. He just walked around, you know, but I am a nervous person myself.
Mr. Griffin. Was he able to keep the conversation going in the same general direction? Was he flighty?
Mrs. Cheek. Kind of flighty; yes.
Mr. Griffin. How did he act?
Mrs. Cheek. Well, he didn’t know his location. And I told him it seemed to me that it was funny why he would try to get $6,000 out of me, not knowing, I wouldn’t know the location, I wouldn’t know anything about the business or anything.
He couldn’t tell me anything about that, and I didn’t understand why he would call me down and try to convince me he was a good man and talking for this Frank, too, and not having the location, couldn’t show me what I was buying. And I told him I usually see the things that I buy or know something about it. I don’t buy anything unless I can see it and look at it.
