“Between the assassination and the shooting, did anybody you know tell you they knew Oswald?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Specter. Now, you understand, Mr. Ruby, when he says “the shooting,” that means the shooting of Oswald?
Mr. Ruby. Repeat that over again—let me hear it again.
Mr. Herndon. I think you realized that, but I want to make certain that you understand, and I want to go back and break down that question—between the assassination of President Kennedy and the shooting—now, the shooting I mean is the shooting of Oswald?
Mr. Ruby. Oh, yes—yes—the answer is “No.”
Mr. Herndon. I realize you understood the question, but the shooting in some other person’s mind could be many things. I want to keep these sentences as concise and short as possible.
“Did anybody you know tell you they knew Oswald?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. Do you understand the question, Mr. Ruby?
