Mr. Specter. All right, we are ready to go on to the next series of questions.

Mr. Herndon. Do you feel all right, Mr. Ruby, at this time?

Mr. Ruby. Yes.

Mr. Herndon. We will now go to the first question of this next series, Mr. Ruby, and I will ask you these questions. I want to make sure you have a clear understanding of what they mean.

“Were you in the Dallas Police Department jail basement at the time Lieutenant Pierce’s car drove out of the basement?”

Now, I see you are hesitating on that—I can rephrase it if you so like?

Mr. Ruby. Oh, no.

Mr. Herndon. Let me go over it again, to make sure the question will be clear to you.

“Were you in the Dallas Police Department jail at the time Lieutenant Pierce’s car drove out of the basement?”

Mr. Ruby. If I can explain it—if I can elaborate on it, it will be easy to answer.
