Mr. Fowler. Listen, at some future date—yes. Perhaps in a trial, another trial, yes. When you are on the witness stand, if you are able to go to the witness stand, perhaps these questions will be directed to you at that time, and you can make a full disclosure before a jury, but I respectfully request that you do not do it in the presence of a district attorney.
Mr. Ruby. But Clayton, they know all these questions already. Henry Wade, I spoke to, and I told him all this.
Mr. Fowler. Well, if he knows them already, then why not just let him stay out? You’re not trying to impress him, are you? Do you think that he can do anything to help you right now?
Mr. Ruby. No, no; but the thing is that I have a few other thoughts in mind, as you well know about.
Mr. Fowler. What are they, Jack?
Mr. Ruby. That I spoke to you about for your consideration.
Mr. Fowler. Jack, I’m not worried, I’m not concerned about anybody trying to do away with me. This is the least of my worries. Nobody has threatened me about this thing. Nobody has coerced me in any way.
Mr. Ruby. I want harmony, that’s what I want. I want harmony with you and the district attorney’s office.
Mr. Fowler. Well, we can’t harmonize over your situation, I’m sorry.
Mr. Specter. Well, the point we got to was the question of getting the substantive information out before going on with the test. Did you tell anyone that you intended to shoot Oswald?
