Mr. Griffin. What Jack had done on Friday, Saturday or Sunday?
Mr. Senator. No; there was nothing in general. I mean there was nothing particular. I mean all my questionings—I mean all my questionings—I had that Sunday you know, with the local detective or whoever the gentlemen was, and the FBI man.
But Monday, when they wanted to know about Jack Ruby, they wanted to see pictures of him. They wanted to see the club of his. They wanted to see whatever they could get their hands on to see. They wanted to know this about him and that about him.
Mr. Griffin. Did they want to know if he was involved with anybody else, whether there could have been a plot or a conspiracy to kill Oswald?
Mr. Senator. I am certain that probably would run through the minds of everybody.
Mr. Griffin. Were they asking questions about that?
Mr. Senator. They have asked me so many questions that I can’t even remember to think of them, you know, because there were so many questions thrown at you. And when they are throwing them at you, the general questions, they wanted to see the club, they wanted to see pictures, who were the strippers, this, that and whatnot. There was nothing precise except the curiosity of the things they wanted to see.
Mr. Griffin. Now when you talked with Howard, of course, Howard indicated to you that you probably would be a witness for Jack, did he not?
Mr. Senator. I don’t remember the incident at that time. I don’t remember if he said it or not because I would probably say it was a little too soon at that time, the happenings, and I assume that Howard was kept pretty busy at the beginning, probably going to see Jack Ruby and this. You see, people were grabbing everybody.
Mr. Griffin. When is the first time that you recall talking with anyone about being a witness for Jack?
