Mr. Hubert. Had you ever talked to him before on the telephone?
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, it sounded like him in one way, and when he went to talking, you know, just saying the same thing two or three times, that is what—that is when I asked him, you know, if I was talking to Mr. Jack Ruby.
Mr. Hubert. So, there was some doubt in your mind as to whether it was Jack Ruby?
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir. It was a doubt in something wrong with him the way he was talking to me. Other things—times I would have, you know, just laid my work down and went ahead on.
I called my daughter and told her, and she said, “Well, are you going over there now?” And, “No; he don’t sound right to me over the phone. I am going to wait.”
Mr. Hubert. What I want to get at is this, whether or not you can say it was Jack Ruby that you were talking to but that he seemed different?
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir; that was him.
Mr. Hubert. Or whether or not he seemed so different that you were not sure that it was Jack Ruby?
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir. It was him. I’m sure of that, but then he just was indifferent. He sure did talk indifferent; yes, sir. He sure did.
Mr. Hubert. Now, did he tell you that he was going out, or that he would be back around 2?
