Mr. Specter. Who was Phil Burleson?
Mr. Wall. He was my attorney.
Mr. Specter. How long had he been your attorney?
Mr. Wall. Since I arrived in Dallas.
Mr. Specter. And what was the purpose of your wanting to get Mr. Burleson’s telephone number?
Mr. Wall. Well, Phil also knew Jack and I wanted to see if he was going to represent Jack or if he could or wanted to or to see if he could get in to see Jack to see what was going on.
Mr. Specter. Why did you do that?
Mr. Wall. Well, as I say, I was in shock. I was upset because I liked Jack very much. He has been a very good friend of ours even with our ups and downs. Just to make sure everything was all right. To find out what was going on.
Mr. Specter. Had anybody requested you to contact an attorney on behalf of Jack Ruby?
Mr. Wall. No, sir.
