Mr. Senator. Well, that was in connection—going to the post office was in connection with the paper ad now.
Mr. Hubert. How was it connected to the paper ad?
Mr. Senator. Well, there was a post office box on this ad. I just don’t recall the number of the post office box. But he wanted to see if there was such a box.
Mr. Hubert. So did you go into the post office with him?
Mr. Senator. We went into the post office. We saw a box with that number on it. There was a lot of mail in there.
Now, of course, who it belonged to—we don’t know if it belonged to him or not, but he did press the night buzzer. There was a little hole there where you get the night clerk, and he asked the night clerk who—I think it was 1762 or something like that. I just don’t remember the number.
He asked him who it is. The night man says, “I can’t give you any information. Any information you want there is only one man can give it to you and that is the postmaster of Dallas.”
Mr. Hubert. Did Ruby make a reply to that?
Mr. Senator. Not to my knowledge. You mean to him?
Mr. Hubert. Yes; to the clerk. Did he say anything more?
