Mr. Ruby. Yes; Mr. John Rutledge. He said I was down there earlier, when I wasn’t—and the association of this man came to my mind. Can you ask me that over again?

Mr. Herndon. I don’t think I have to, Mr. Ruby. I wanted to get your explanation of why. Did you feel a reaction to that question?

Mr. Ruby. Yes; because it’s like the Wall Street Journal question—when you asked me that. I get nervous too. When they said they found it in my car, there must be some reason that it was found in my car, when I know I never did see this particular paper.

Mr. Herndon. Well, at this trial Mr. John Rutledge’s testimony conflicted with what you had said, is that correct?

Mr. Specter. Not what he said, Mr. Herndon. He didn’t testify.

Mr. Ruby. He testified emphatically—it looked like I was trying to find out who this Oswald was, and if I went down there more than once.

Mr. Herndon. I see. You did feel the reaction on that question?

Mr. Ruby. Yes.

Mr. Herndon. I think we can proceed on to the next series.

Mr. Specter. We’re now at series 8, correct?
