Mr. Herndon. This particular series which my notes refer to as series No. 5 began at 6:48, and Mr. Ruby was asked four relevant questions.
Question No. 2: “Did you see the armored truck before you entered the basement?” He replied “No.”
Question No. 4: “Did you enter the police department through a door at the rear on the east side of the jail?” He responded “No.”
Question No. 6: “After talking to Little Lynn did you hear any announcement that Oswald was about to be moved?” He responded “No.”
Question No. 8: “Before you left your apartment Sunday morning, did anyone tell you the armored car was on the way to the police department?” He replied “No.”
The one particular thing of interest with regard to overall interpretation of this chart is how Ruby showed considerable more relaxation and appeared to be completely at ease after the recess. There was no physiological variation of any significance noted with regard to his replies to the relevant questions. There is some deviation with regard to his pneumograph tracing at question No. 7, which is considered a control-type question. This question was: “Other than what you told me, did you ever hit anyone with any kind of a weapon?” He responded to this question by talking. However, he later asked that the question be repeated. The question was repeated during the series, and he responded “No.” The only significant deviation from his normal pattern was recorded in the pneumograph, and this was caused by his talking in response to the question the first time it was asked.
There is nothing else significant noted in series No. 5.
Mr. Specter. Let’s proceed then to series No. 6 and we will mark that as Herndon Deposition Exhibit No. 7.
(Herndon Deposition Exhibit No. 7 was marked for identification.)
Mr. Herndon. Do you want the total chart minutes?
