Mr. Hubert. T-a-b-e-r or T-a-b-i-n?
Mr. Senator. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. You were with that man?
Mr. Senator. I was with him for a while but he shifted. He saw some girl and went over to talk to her.
Mr. Hubert. So you were alone at the table?
Mr. Senator. I was sitting there. I was sitting at another table and I assumed he come in looking for me to see what I was doing.
Mr. Hubert. Who came in?
Mr. Senator. Jack Ruby. Jack don’t like to have me drink. He doesn’t like to see me getting drunk. He thinks I’m always drunk all the while which I am not. And as he walked in through the door, this Don Taber was getting pretty well loaded. He had a few drinks in him, you know, and he has always had a grudge against Jack for some reason or other, I don’t know what it was, and Jack was always telling him “Don, I want you to stay away from me” and I have heard him warn him once before by the club, downstairs from the club. Well, he used a pretty obscene word with him. I don’t know if you want to take this down or not?
Mr. Hubert. On the occasion in the Burgundy Room?
Mr. Senator. Yes.
