Mr. Ruby. Well, he may have called me twice on the phone—I didn’t see him during that period. The last time I saw him was the week of Halloween—it was on a Wednesday, I believe.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, then, the last time you saw him was before Oswald was shot?
Mr. Ruby. That’s right, sir.
Mr. Hubert. That was approximately a month or 4 weeks before Oswald was shot?
Mr. Ruby. That’s right; before.
Mr. Hubert. And you recall at least one telephone conversation which you have just made reference to about visiting your sister in the hospital?
Mr. Ruby. Yes—he was very upset about me not going. I promised him I would go and then I happened to be very busy working for this washateria owner and I thought it was more important I stay at my job and maybe go at night, but he became very upset about me not going and sort of became abusive.
Mr. Hubert. That was all over the phone?
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Did he contact you after the President was shot?
