Mr. Ruby. This is off the record for a minute, please?
Mr. Specter. Mr. Ruby, I think it would be unwise for us to go off the record on this question.
Mr. Ruby. Well, all right. There were three Officer Tippits in the police department. I only knew one.
Mr. Specter. Was that Officer J. D. Tippit?
Mr. Ruby. He’s the one who was slain?
Mr. Specter. Yes—Officer J. D. Tippit?
Mr. Ruby. No; I don’t think he was the one.
Mr. Specter. Did you know Officer Tippit who was slain?
Mr. Ruby. No; I don’t know him. You see, I know so many officers and there are three Tippits, but I know one Tippit, and which one that is—if I would see him personally and see his physical features and knowing him—of course, I didn’t have time to—I was incarcerated too soon to find out. Actually, the Tippit I knew, who worked at special service in the police department—you know which one I’m talking about, Bill?
Mr. Alexander. Yes; but that’s not the one.
