So, anyhow, they said, the conversation got around that he is in town, and, “Would you care to see him?”
I says, “Well, I’ve got nothing to lose.”
In the meantime, they are telling me how great he is, of course.
Mr. Hubert. Were you under the impression that they had asked Belli to come to Los Angeles?
Mr. Ruby. I don’t know.
Mr. Hubert. Do you think it was a coincidence? Is there anything factual that happened that might suggest to you that——
Mr. Ruby. Yes; I think that they probably did. I shouldn’t say did, probably could have. I don’t want to make the statement that they did, because Woodfield later told me that Belli promised him that he would write Belli’s version of the trial or whatever you call it, for making the contact to represent my brother, words to that effect.
Mr. Griffin. Woodfield said this?
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. And you heard Woodfield say it or this is something that somebody else told you Woodfield said?
