Mrs. Tice. Well, I guess I was slightly in shock. I am not sure. I mean, well, I was pretty frightened. I mean I wouldn’t let the officer take me to the doctor. I wanted to wait until my husband got home to take me to the doctor, because my husband can be there in 5 minutes.
Mr. Griffin. Were you hospitalized?
Mrs. Tice. No; I was not.
Mr. Griffin. What do you think about the outcome of the Ruby trial?
Mrs. Tice. I don’t know what to think about it. I really don’t know what to think about it. I mean, as far as the trial is concerned, I don’t understand it at all. I mean, there is just a lot of it I don’t understand.
Mr. Griffin. Do you have any feeling about whether Jack was treated fairly or not?
Mrs. Tice. That part I couldn’t say. I don’t know whether he was treated fairly or not. I just wouldn’t even know if he was treated fairly, because I wasn’t up there. I mean, I can’t say. I felt like, I guess what you really want to know is how in the beginning I talked with Eva?
Mr. Griffin. Yes; that’s right.
Mrs. Tice. Well, I called Eva. It was no more than a sympathy call. And when I called her I didn’t get her on the phone. I got Eileen on the phone. And I felt sorry for them because they had been so deserted for something that their brother had done. They had been rejected by everybody, and I felt sorry for them. I mean just like I try to teach my children, right is right and wrong is wrong, and I try to abide by the same thing.
Mr. Griffin. You called for the purpose of cheering her up, was that it, in some way?
