Mr. Ruby. He came to the family and that is where I came to see him. In fact, he was so depressed that I took him to try to cheer him up, I had to go to New York for a business trip, a show that was taking place there and I took him for a ride, we were driving anyhow, and I thought it would pep him up a little bit, you know, to go on a trip. But it didn’t help much.
Mr. Griffin. Was your attitude toward him this time one of sympathy or couldn’t you figure out what was eating this guy?
Mr. Ruby. No; I would say he was. I just thought he was disgusted with things, little realizing that he was in a state of depression.
Mr. Griffin. But were you sympathetic toward him at the time?
Mr. Ruby. Oh, yes; as I said, that is why I took him on the trip. I tried to encourage him. I told him “Maybe we can find something for you to get into,” as I mentioned before, “Some business we can get you started in or something.”
However, he decided, as I stated before, to go back to Dallas.
Mr. Griffin. Did he ever tell you why he decided to go back to Dallas?
Mr. Ruby. I don’t recall, he may have, but I can’t recall just now.
I see another, the last paragraph on page 2. I didn’t even remember that conversation with the agent.
Mr. Griffin. Would you read the paragraph?
