Mr. Hubert. When did you last see him?
Mr. Ruby. Last Sunday.
Mr. Hubert. How many times since his conviction have you seen him prior to last Sunday?
Mr. Ruby. Well, I have seen him at least once a week.
Mr. Hubert. And this condition that you have described that he has, did it exist right after the conviction or was it a progressive matter?
Mr. Ruby. Well, it has been progressive and during the course of the bond hearing and the change of venue and the jurors and the trial itself—he didn’t seem to communicate with me very much. He didn’t have anything to say to me, so to speak, like he didn’t have all of his faculties, you might say.
Mr. Burleson. Now, let me ask you—do you know anything about the financial situation of the so-called defense fund—the money that has come in for the defense of Jack Ruby, have you had anything to do with it yourself?
Mr. Ruby. No; I had nothing to do with it, but I understand they sold a story. Do you want to know about that?
Mr. Burleson. Well, we know about that. That’s the newspaper story that this Woodfield fellow bought?
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
