Mr. Griffin. Where did you station yourself in the assembly room in relationship to Henry Wade?
Mr. Pappas. Well, we were all in there first, before Wade came in. He stayed outside for awhile. I set my microphone up, or tried to get in position with the other microphones which were on the table. And we all expected Wade to come over there to deliver his statement, and also to answer questions. Actually, Wade placed himself in position to me, which was right next to me.
Mr. Griffin. Did you see Jack Ruby while you were in the assembly room?
Mr. Pappas. No.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall any conversation or any remarks that Jack Ruby made to Henry Wade while in the assembly room?
Mr. Pappas. No.
Mr. Griffin. Now, after—how long is it you estimate that the press conference lasted in the assembly room?
Mr. Pappas. I don’t think I could estimate that. I don’t know. I really didn’t pay any attention to the length of the press conference. I don’t want to mislead you. I don’t know.
Mr. Griffin. Do you remember what you did after the press conference ended?
Mr. Pappas. Well, afterward is a long time. You mean immediately afterward?
