Mr. Lane. A different machine, but synchronized, by the same master clock.
Mr. Hubert. Now, you mentioned something about a lot of press releases coming in which delayed the message a little bit. Those press releases were being handled upstairs, were they?
Mr. Lane. Most of them were.
Mr. Hubert. Were any being handled downstairs?
Mr. Lane. Well, reporters, running in there with scribbled notes.
Mr. Hubert. What I am trying to get at, do you recall whether any reporters came in with any kind of notes, or saying anything during the time that Jack Ruby was there, which would have indicated to Ruby that the transfer of Oswald was imminent?
Mr. Lane. Oh, no. There was, as I recall—like I say, I don’t always notice who comes in that office, because it is a stopping place for everyone, but as I remember, my previous customer, before Jack Ruby, turned around and left after the transaction. Ruby came up and was right there. He just handed me the money order, apparently he had come in while I was waiting on the other customer, because I believe there were only the two in the office.
Mr. Hubert. After the first customer left, there was only you and Ruby at the counter?
Mr. Lane. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. You don’t remember anybody coming in?
