Mr. Herndon. I understand you did.
I’m going to ask you this question, which will help me, and that is, “In your dealings, Mr. Ruby, as a nightclub operator, at any time have you ever overcharged a customer?” I assume there are some times when you probably are at the cash register, is that correct, and you are handling the transaction of money with customers or with the bills.
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. You understand what I mean by “overcharge”?
Mr. Ruby. We have a very lucrative business in champagne there, the kind of business that—Bill Alexander knows about it—they get merchandise received for what they get. It’s quite lucrative and that’s one way you can survive, I guess.
Mr. Herndon. I’ll just simply ask the question, “Did you ever overcharge a customer?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. I’ll probably ask you questions for your identity, like “Is your name Jack Ruby?” at the beginning of these series.
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Herndon. Let’s see, gentlemen, I believe we’ve gone over all these questions, and I’m going to ask you also as a matter of record on the test—are you tired?
