Mr. Eberhardt. It was in the summer 2 years ago.
Mr. Griffin. 1961 or 1962?
Mr. Eberhardt. No; 1962.
Mr. Griffin. Uh-huh.
Mr. Eberhardt. An officer was shot to death in a hotel. There were no witnesses, except the man that shot him. The man that shot him was not indicted. There were no witnesses. I went up to Jack’s one night, and he talked to me one night about it, and he went to the boy’s funeral. I don’t know if that gives you any idea of how Ruby’s mind is, but it is unusual in our profession to have a man show up at a funeral. You would just have to draw your own conclusions as to why he would.
Mr. Griffin. Now, Mullinax was on the vice squad?
Mr. Eberhardt. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. And Jack tried to be very friendly with all of the members of the vice squad?
Mr. Eberhardt. He was friendly with everybody. If he knew you, he would say hello to you. If he didn’t know you, he was going to try to meet you.
Mr. Griffin. The vice squad would probably be one of the first to close his place down if there was any problem?
