Mr. Ruby. No—not of late, because of my businesses and my sister was ill and I had to help at both places—I had to run both places.
Mr. Herndon. All right, If you feel it is proper, you can answer that question.
Mr. Ruby. This was a special occasion, this Friday night—I wanted to go there because of this tragedy happening.
Mr. Herndon. Very fine. The way I mean that question is—do you attend the synagogue regularly and at every usual service?
Mr. Ruby. Well, yes—on high holidays and when my father passed away, I went there consistently for 11 months; morning and evening.
Mr. Herndon. “Did you go to the synagogue that Friday night?” Now, “that Friday night”—you know the night we’re talking about?
Mr. Ruby. Friday night.
Mr. Herndon. The night of the assassination?
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Herndon. I’m going to ask you this question—it’s simple and short: “Do you pray?”
