Mr. Fowler. Jack, again, excuse me, sir.
Mr. Ruby. Fowler, it puts me in a tough spot when he asks me that question and I evade it.
Mr. Fowler. I understand this, but I’m talking now specifically about in the presence of Mr. Alexander. Now, later on, if you want to answer it “Yes” or “No” to that question, it’s perfectly all right. I want you to fully understand the question.
Mr. Herndon. I want to bow, of course, to Mr. Specter, of course, for the way the Commission desires it.
Mr. Specter. If you would like us to break it down, we could do it in two questions. “Did you tell anybody on Sunday morning that you were going to shoot Oswald before you did it?”
Mr. Ruby. Yes, that’s easier to answer.
Mr. Specter. Then, we can ask you this: “Before Sunday morning did you tell anybody you intended to shoot Oswald?”
Mr. Ruby. Now, that’s a better way to ask it—the last question.
Mr. Specter. Then, we’ve covered all the time in two parts.
Mr. Ruby. The last question you asked me is a better way to ask me. The last question you asked, my answer is “No.”
