Mr. Ruby has indicated that he has no objection to having Mr. Alexander here, and if one side is here, the other may be.
Mr. Alexander. Mr. Specter, if it will help the ultimate in the tests, I have no objection to leaving the room, and perhaps Mr. Tonahill, I think, could very well leave, or if Jack has no objections and perhaps wants us here, we will stay.
Mr. Specter. I am advised by Mr. Herndon that the technical considerations are not persuasive as to one or two more people, with this many present, so that if it’s acceptable to all parties, specifically Mr. Ruby, we will just proceed with the group that’s presently here during all portions, the explanatory portion to Mr. Ruby and the actual testing itself.
Is that agreeable, gentlemen? Is that agreeable with you, Mr. Ruby?
Mr. Ruby. Well——
Mr. Fowler. Jack, let me make this request. I don’t think Bill can read a polygraph test, but I would feel better as your attorney if Mr. Alexander were not present.
Mr. Ruby. I don’t mind everyone remaining here.
Mr. Fowler. Well, of course, again—let me advise you that if Mr. Alexander remains—let me advise you of your rights—that if Mr. Alexander remains, he is a member of the district attorney’s staff, the answers to these questions could be used against you at some later date, if they are adverse to your rights, and as your attorney, I advise you that it would be my suggestion to you and request to you that Mr. Alexander not be allowed to remain.
Mr. Ruby (addressing Mr. Alexander). Will you object?
Mr. Alexander. Not at all, Jack.
