Mr. Ruby. No, sir—no, he didn’t contact me.
Mr. Hubert. Did your sister do so?
Mr. Ruby. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, between November 22d and the time Oswald was shot, you had no communication of any sort whatsoever with either your sister, Eva Grant, or your brother, Jack Ruby; is that right?
Mr. Ruby. That’s right, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Were you aware of his reaction to the President’s death during the period November 22 through November 24?
Mr. Ruby. No, sir; I had no idea. I was busy at the time—I was working for this man, Mr. Dean, and I also was doing repair work at night and I was working pretty late at night and I would get home late and get up early in the morning and had to be at the job at 8 and so my days and nights were fully occupied at that time and previous to that, too.
Mr. Hubert. I think you have stated in one of these statements that Mr. Paul said he was going to give you 50 percent of the stock of the S & R Corp.; did he say why he was going to do that?
Mr. Ruby. Yes, sir; that was after Judge Sterrett denied an application for a new license and he wanted to turn his 50 percent over to me so that I should have the obligations of the club, which I wasn’t in favor of because I didn’t have the financial backing to take it over. I have never received that 50 percent.
Mr. Hubert. Why did he want to give it to you?
