Mr. Ruby, does this noise disturb you right now, are you conscious of it or aware of it [referring to audible conversations between other jail occupants outside this room]?

Mr. Ruby. I hear it.

Mr. Herndon. Are you all right?

Mr. Ruby. Yes.

Mr. Herndon. Are you tired?

Mr. Ruby. No; I’m all right.

Mr. Herndon. Are you getting a little tired?

Mr. Ruby. I’m all right.

Mr. Herndon. I’ll ask you just these last few questions. Would you once again kindly put your feet flat on the floor, and let’s put these back so you will be comfortable.
