Mr. Hubert. When was this occurrence?
Mr. Ruby. The conversation—well, my wife would know more about that, I believe, since she talked to him—I believe it was in December.
Mr. Hubert. You have never heard any more from this individual?
Mr. Ruby. No, sir.
Mr. Burleson. Now, you have been visiting Jack recently, have you not, in jail?
Mr. Ruby. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Can you tell us what you found Jack’s condition to be since the verdict and at the present time?
Mr. Ruby. Well, to be frank with you, I always thought there was something odd about Jack, but I thought he was just the type of a person that’s hard to get along with and that was before—years ago—but since I have been visiting him lately, his mental condition has deteriorated very rapidly. He keeps saying that people are being killed in the streets and he hears screams in the building of people being slaughtered.
Mr. Burleson. Are these just people or are these Jewish people?
Mr. Ruby. Well, he says, “People,” and then he says “Jewish people” and he always imagines that Earl is killed and his children’s bodies are being dismembered.
