Mr. Hubert. But the occurrences were supposed to have, the facts were supposed to have occurred prior?
Mr. Senator. Prior. Right. Prior I never heard.
Mr. Hubert. You do not remember having heard anything prior to the shooting?
Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Hubert. What was your own opinion as to his attitude toward these animals?
Mr. Senator. Like any other human being who had a dog for a number of years.
Mr. Hubert. There was nothing abnormal about it?
Mr. Senator. Nothing. To me, there was nothing absolutely abnormal about it. Just like anybody else having a dog, and I am certain anybody who has a dog he has had about 5, 6 or 7 or 8 years who is very much attached to him. I would probably say the overall picture of the majority owners are attached to a particular dog of whatever the dog may be.
Mr. Hubert. There is some rumor if you want to call it that that at some time or another Jack had a strange sort of relationship with one of the dogs. Have you any comment to make on that?
Mr. Senator. No; I don’t listen to that stuff because it is not true.
