Mr. Beers. I have tried to insert what I thought, what little information or comments I might have to make. I can’t recall that I have learned anything additional since this happened that is not common knowledge to everyone.
Mr. Griffin. I see.
Now, let me also ask you, for the record, whether prior to commencing this deposition you have talked with anybody from the Commission?
I am not talking about the FBI agents, but any staff member of the Commission other than myself?
Mr. Beers. No; I have had no contact with anyone from the Warren Commission except over the telephone when I was notified and they verified my address so they could mail me a notice to appear here.
I might go back and add, as far as my acquaintance with Jack Ruby is concerned, I met him that particular day, and I have seen him in the halls of the Dallas News in that 18-month period four times probably.
And I think Jack recalled that my first name was Jack, but not until I testified in his change of venue hearing.
I think that he aware that I was Jack Beers.
Mr. Griffin. Were you a prosecution witness or defense witness?
Mr. Beers. Defense.
