Mr. Griffin. Jack wouldn’t figure that you or somebody else wouldn’t have picked that dog up later and taken care of it?
Mr. Senator. I don’t know.
Mr. Griffin. Or isn’t it possible that Jack just at this point forgot about the consequences to the dog?
Mr. Senator. I can’t even answer that.
Mr. Griffin. Then would you say that the mere fact that Jack had Sheba with him doesn’t prove one way or another whether he planned to kill Oswald?
Mr. Senator. I don’t think he planned nohow.
Mr. Griffin. I know you don’t think that, but I want to know what significance we should put on the fact that he had Sheba with him. As I understand what you have been saying now, one could draw the conclusion that simply because he had Sheba with him doesn’t prove conclusively one way or another that he had a plan or didn’t have a plan.
Mr. Senator. I can’t conceive anyhow that this man had any plans, nohow.
Mr. Griffin. If you knew that Jack Ruby had taken Sheba to the club and locked her in the club and left instructions for somebody to take care of Sheba, would that affect your attitude as to whether Jack planned to kill Oswald or not? Would you still say——
Mr. Senator. I would say it would still be of the same nature having the dog. I don’t think he would do anything like that.
