Mr. Griffin. Did you know Mr. Ruby’s friend, George Senator?
Mr. Kleinman. I met him downtown. I met him, if I remember correctly, I first met him in the Statler’s Men Shop. I think he was selling. He was a salesman representing, I don’t know whether it is men’s line or what line of merchandise it is he was representing.
Mr. Griffin. Did you see him at all on November 22 or 23 or 24?
Mr. Kleinman. Who is that?
Mr. Griffin. George Senator.
Mr. Kleinman. I don’t think so. I don’t remember seeing him.
Mr. Griffin. Let me ask you, where were you at the time you learned that President Kennedy had been shot?
Mr. Kleinman. Well, I was in this restaurant that burned down here on Commerce Street next to the Picadilly. I don’t know whether it is right next to it, or either one door away. Someone came in and said the President had been shot, and I knew that the parade had just passed by. I was on Akard and Main Street. And we thought they were kidding because it was so fast, they would get the news out so quick.
Mr. Griffin. What did you do after you heard that?
Mr. Kleinman. Well, I walked up the street there to Sol’s Turf Bar and they had it turned on television.
