Mr. Ruby. All right.
Mr. Specter. If Mr. Alexander is willing to abide by your request, Mr. Ruby, then your request will govern as far as the proceeding is concerned.
Mr. Fowler. Now, Mr. Alexander and I—when it comes to me representing you or any other client—I represent one client and he represents the other. He, in my opinion, is a perfect gentleman, but in the courtroom he is a perfect prosecutor, and I like to be as near a perfect defense lawyer as I can, and I believe that by allowing him to stay here——
Mr. Ruby. No, Fowler——
Mr. Fowler. Well, I’m thinking of you now. I’m asking you to do this, and again, this is entirely up to you, so it’s your decision. I think I have fully explained to you the reason why we would not want him here.
Mr. Ruby. Now, I’ve got the monkey on my back now.
Mr. Fowler. Well, you’ve got more than a monkey on your back, Jack. This is your decision.
(Conference between Mr. Fowler and Mr. Ruby out of the hearing of this reporter and others in the room.)
Mr. Ruby. Well, whatever my attorney suggests, I guess I will have to follow through.
Mr. Specter. Your request then is that Mr. Alexander not be present?
