(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Griffin. Now, can you describe which room Jack came into?
Mr. Eberhardt. He opened our door and walked in about three paces and just stood there and talked.
Mr. Griffin. Did he sit down at all?
Mr. Eberhardt. No; he stood up.
Mr. Griffin. Now, what do you remember him saying?
Mr. Eberhardt. He came in and said hello to me, shook hands with me. I asked him what he was doing. He told me he was a translator for the newspapers. Of course, I knew that he could speak Yiddish. Had a notebook in his hand, and he talked a little bit about that, and then he said that he brought the coffee and sandwiches up for the reporters, corned beef sandwiches. He said, “Nothing but kosher stuff is all I bring.” He talked a little bit about the assassination of the President.
Mr. Griffin. Do you remember him saying—what he said about the assassination?
Mr. Eberhardt. How terrible it was for it to happen in the city, and then he left.
Mr. Griffin. Did he seem—how would you describe his state of emotion over the Presidents death?
