Mr. Griffin. Now, prior to my talking with you, has anybody else from the Commission staff, as opposed to the Secret Service, one of the investigatory agencies, has anybody from the Commission staff spoken with you?
Mr. Eberhardt. No.
Mr. Griffin. I made some notes during our interview I want to dictate these for the record. I wish you would listen to them carefully, and if there are any changes or corrections that you would like to make, I wish you would tell me and we can straighten up the record on this.
I began talking with Mr. Eberhardt about how the FBI happened to interview him on December 20, 1963, and he indicated that he believed that it was a result of finding his telephone number in one of Jack Ruby’s notebooks or on a scrap of paper. Mr. Eberhardt told me that he had changed his telephone number and that the number which was actually in Jack’s phone book was not the number that he had now. The reason for the change was that, out in Seagoville, the telephone company became a member or a part of the regular Dallas dialing district, and all of the telephone numbers in Seagoville were changed, although there was no actual physical change of any telephone. He also stated to me that he had come to know Jack Ruby in connection with his work on the police force, that while he was a member of the vice squad and while he has been with the burglary and theft division of the police department, he has had occasion to visit Ruby’s nightclubs. Now, he said that, since he has been with burglary and theft, which has been since early 1962, that he saw—went into Ruby’s place almost every night when he was on the night shift, and I asked him when he was last on the night shift, and he stated that he was on the night shift the month of October. Mr. Eberhardt also——
Mr. Eberhardt. That is going to be wrong.
Mr. Griffin. All right. Speak to the reporter.
Mr. Eberhardt. I am just trying to think. I told—I was working 3 to 11 when the President got killed.
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Eberhardt. So that would be my night shift.
Mr. Griffin. Now, during which shift did you go in to Ruby’s club?
