Mr. Specter. Were you friends with Mr. Ruby at this time?
Mr. Wall. Yes, sir. He was very upset the President was assassinated and he called Abe Weinstein or Bernie Weinstein, he called them some names for staying open Friday night.
Mr. Specter. What club did they run?
Mr. Wall. They—I don’t know which one owns which. One owns the Theater Lounge and the other owns the Colony Club, and he was very upset that he had closed and they stayed open. He thought it wasn’t right and he wanted to know when I would return to Dallas and I told him probably Monday or Tuesday and he said, well, when I got in to town would I call him, which I said I would. He asked how everything was. I told him fine and that was it.
Mr. Specter. Can you recollect anything else he said during that telephone conversation?
Mr. Wall. No, sir.
Mr. Specter. Can you recollect anything else that you said to him during that call?
Mr. Wall. Only if I told him why I left Dallas. He asked what I was doing in Galveston. I told him I just wanted to get away for a couple of days.
Mr. Specter. Did he mention Lee Harvey Oswald in that telephone call?
Mr. Wall. No, sir; not at all.
