Mr. Griffin. Did he specify any of the things Jack was talking about?
Mr. Ruby. No; he used to say, “Jews all over the world, on an international scale,” that was his expression several times and then, of course, he stated, “He is off his rocker.”
Mr. Griffin. Did Mr. Burleson tell you this sort of thing before the trial, or only after the trial?
Mr. Ruby. Before and during, I would say.
Mr. Griffin. Right.
Mr. Ruby. And not so much after, because after we were disgusted, I will tell you that.
Mr. Griffin. How long before the trial did Mr. Burleson begin to call these problems about involvement with Jews.
Mr. Ruby. Right after he got involved. Because he lived in Dallas, and he talked to my brother more so than anyone else because he lives there and right after he got into the case, not a few days later, he says, you know, made the statement again, “That your brother has got himself involved with all the Jews on an international scale and he is off his rocker, he doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
And to be truthful to you I didn’t understand his statement. It didn’t register with me because they kept saying, Belli said, “Your brother is sick. I have got a patient on my hands, you know. I am trying to take care of your brother, and I can’t get across to him.”
And my brother, I know, he had many fights because of the Jewish question, of being called, you know, names, referring to his Jewish parents and all that stuff, and, of course, I have been through it myself but he more so, and he fought more about it.
