Mr. Ruby. Clayton, I’m sorry, I’ve got to answer it. I’ve got to, because, believe me, it means an awful lot to me. I didn’t want—I felt so carried away—that at that particular time of the great tragedy, I felt somehow in my little bit of a way I could save Mrs. Kennedy the ordeal of coming back for trial here.
Mr. Specter. All right, fine, Mr. Ruby. That’s the same answer to that general question that you gave when the Commission heard your testimony, and we shall phrase that in an appropriate question for the polygraph examination. Now, will you proceed, Mr. Herndon, with our next series, please?
Mr. Herndon. Do you want me to rehearse the ones that are prepared?
Mr. Specter. Yes; just our prepared series, and we will take these in a sequence and we will cover everything else later.
Mr. Herndon. All right, I’ll go over these for you again, Mr. Ruby, so that you understand the intent of the question and what it means.
“Did you get a Wall Street Journal at Southwestern Drug Store during the week before the assassination?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. “Was the Wall Street Journal addressed to a Mr. Bradshaw?”
Mr. Ruby. I don’t know.
Mr. Herndon. Well, that one, we’re going to have to rephrase. “Do you know if the Wall Street Journal was addressed to Mr. Bradshaw?”
