Mr. Specter. We have to ask you a “Yes” or “No” question, and we’ve already covered that by asking you the question about Mrs. Kennedy—whether you didn’t shoot Oswald to avoid having her come to trial.
Mr. Ruby. Yes; that covers that.
Mr. Specter. That covers that subject.
Mr. Ruby. In other words, I can’t answer that truthfully and have another reason for doing it; is that correct?
Mr. Specter. Correct.
Mr. Ruby. That would answer that?
Mr. Specter. Yes. We’ve asked you all the reasons——
Mr. Ruby. But you don’t ask me why I did it, though? Why I was carried away so much—you don’t ask me that.
Mr. Specter. We did ask you—we asked you “Why did you shoot Oswald?”
Mr. Ruby. But you don’t ask me why I got carried away so?
