Mr. Griffin. Now I believe you indicated to the FBI that Mr. Ruby was very attached to his mother.
Mrs. Nichols. Well, he was devoted to his mother. He told me how—he had remarked how much her death had hurt him.
Mr. Griffin. Were you able to tell whether he was more or less devoted to his mother than to his father?
Mrs. Nichols. No. He seemed to be devoted to his father, too. He seemed to be quite interested in his father’s welfare.
Mr. Griffin. Did he ever mention to you in connection with his mother that his mother had been a source of many problems to the family?
Mrs. Nichols. Well, he had mentioned that she had been in an institution; that she had a mental breakdown.
Mr. Griffin. What was Jack’s attitude about that?
Mrs. Nichols. He didn’t say much about it.
Mr. Griffin. Did he have any hostility toward her on account of it?
Mrs. Nichols. No; he didn’t.
