Mr. Ruby. So that he wouldn’t have to assume any financial responsibilities incurred by the corporation.
Mr. Hubert. And you refused it?
Mr. Ruby. I didn’t refuse him at the time, but I didn’t agree one way or the other, but I suggested my sister Eva take over the 50 percent of the corporation.
Mr. Hubert. Were any shares of stock ever delivered to you?
Mr. Ruby. No, sir; not any shares.
Mr. Hubert. Mr. Burleson, do you have any questions you would like to ask of Mr. Ruby?
Mr. Burleson. Yes. First, Sam, have you, since this incident occurred back on November 24, 1963, had an occasion to have any threats on your life, your well-being, your future or that of your children, or your family?
Mr. Ruby. Well, there was one man that called and said he was a friend of Jack’s and he wanted to come over and he said that he was from up North—I believe he was from Minnesota and he had come down here to look for a job—he wanted to get a job and he was a friend of Jack’s and it didn’t sound sensible or logical and he had talked to my wife, and we didn’t give him our address or any other information and he said he wanted to talk to Jack.
Mr. Burleson. But you have had no direct threats?
Mr. Ruby. No, sir.
