Mr. Hubert. What brought it to an end?
Mr. Sorrels. I had gotten the information that I desired at that time, and was anxious to get it back into Washington, because I had been asked to get as much information as I could quickly, and get it back to them up there, something about his background, who he was and so forth.
Mr. Hubert. So that during that interview, which lasted approximately 5 to 7 minutes, your thought is—you know that there was Dean and yourself and Ruby, and you also know that there were two other officers whose names you do not know even now, and you think that there might have been one or more others who came in?
Mr. Sorrels. Yes—in plainclothes. I don’t recall any other uniformed officers there.
Mr. Hubert. And you do not recall, I suppose, or do not know now the names of any of those other people who might have come in?
Mr. Sorrels. No; I could not tell you who they were at all.
Mr. Hubert. Now, I think you have made a report of that interview, and a later one, and we will offer that in evidence a little later.
But I would like to ask you now if Ruby made any statement to your knowledge at that time, and that is the first interview you had with him, concerning whether he had been in the assembly room on the night of the 22d when Oswald was brought in so that the press could observe him?
Mr. Sorrels. Not at that time; no, sir. He did later.
Mr. Hubert. Did he at that time, the first interview, indicate anything, or say anything which would indicate what his motive or reason for his act was?
