Mr. Griffin. In other words, there have been times when Jack, I take it there have been periods of 3 days or more when Jack has carried $2,000 or $3,000?
Mr. Senator. Or more. No; this is an every day occurrence with him. This is a thing that materialized 7 days a week.
Mr. Griffin. So there is nothing unusual about Jack Ruby having all that money in his automobile.
Mr. Senator. No; it is always like that. Now if he has any money in the bank, I mean I can’t quote that because I don’t see that. See, he carries this money around 7 days a week. Now what he has in the bank, of course, I have quoted you that once before, I think that was yesterday, I don’t know what he has got. Only when you ask what bank he has, when I mentioned the Merchants State Bank, I don’t know if the guy has got $40 in there or $500, you know what I mean? I don’t know.
Or whatever he has had in there or how he has had it. See, this is an unusual man when it comes to this money bit. I don’t know how many times he asked me, “George, where is my money?” making me feel like I took it but he always misplaced it and always found it.
Mr. Griffin. Is this a large sum of money that he misplaced?
Mr. Senator. Sometimes it could be missing $200 or $300 or $400, I don’t know. Whatever the stake is, he has about 4, 5 or 6 different stakes in different pockets. This man don’t remember where the money is. This may sound crazy but it is true.
Mr. Griffin. Did Jack own any real estate?
Mr. Senator. No; what is he going to use for money for the real estate? A lot of people are under the impression that Jack had a lot of money. Jack didn’t. Jack was, what would you classify him, as a walking bank?
Mr. Griffin. He carried all his money on his person regardless of how much it was.
