Mr. Burleson. Let’s go off the record just a second, so that I can give Mr. Hubert some information.

Let’s go off the record just a second to give Mr. Hubert some information.
(Discussion between counsel off the record.)
Mr. Hubert. I have to explain what went on while we were off the record.
Let the record show that while we were off the record Mr. Burleson was explaining to me the circumstances used in the jail for allowing prisoners, especially those who are under a death sentence to use the pay phone in the jail, and that was the substance of the conversation off the record.
Now, do you have any more questions, Mr. Burleson? Are you through?
Mr. Burleson. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. I wanted to get into the matter of the financing of the defense of your brother, Jack—I suppose we should start with the selection of the attorneys originally in this case. Now, we know that Mr. Tom Howard apparently took the first affirmative action on behalf of Jack Ruby in the afternoon of November 24.
