Mr. Griffin. No; there is no mention in here at this point in the FBI interview report of your having moved in with Ruby.
Mr. Senator. In so many words, though, doesn’t it sound the same to you? “... than in the past 3 years”.
Mr. Griffin. Yes; but it doesn’t mention that in the past 3 years you moved in and began living with him, whereas before then you hadn’t lived with him. As I understand what you have been saying to us up to this point is that your closer relationship simply resulted from the fact that you began to see him every day, whereas before——
Mr. Senator. See the way I interpret this, the moment I moved in I was already close to him. Of course, I know that I am in the same place, but that is the way I am interpreting it.
Mr. Griffin. Let’s let it stand for the record, then, that you did not automatically feel closer to Jack Ruby at the time you moved in with him.
Mr. Senator. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Your moving in with him was not the result of having established a close relationship, but was a result of Jack’s taking you in when you didn’t have a place to live and didn’t have any money. Is that it?
Mr. Senator. Yes; I mean the appreciation was there, I want you to know, of these things.
Mr. Griffin. And how did Jack happen to learn that you needed a place to live and so he invited you in with him?
Mr. Senator. I identified myself that way.
