Mr. Lane. Yes; I was.
Mr. Hubert. Did you see a man by the name of Jack Ruby that day?
Mr. Lane. Yes; I did.
Mr. Hubert. Did you know him prior to that time?
Mr. Lane. I had known him through patronage.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, when he came into the Western Union office that day you recognized him as Jack Ruby, a man with whom you had done Western Union telegraph business?
Mr. Lane. When he handed me the money order. I did not see him come in. I do not know when he came in.
Mr. Hubert. Will you just state in your own words what transpired between you and Jack Ruby on the morning of November 24, 1963?
Mr. Lane. Well, he came to the counter and handed me the money order to be sent. I rated the money order and put the necessary transmission marks on it. Wrote out a receipt for the money he handed me and I believe it was $30, to pay for the money order. I handed him back his receipt and his change. He turned around and walked out the door.
Mr. Hubert. The first time you saw him, therefore, is when he came up to the counter with a completed—partially completed form for the transmission of money by Western Union?
