Mrs. Tice. No, sir: I didn’t read that.
Mr. Griffin. You are not familiar with that?
Mrs. Tice. No.
Mr. Griffin. The reason you are telling us that you didn’t call the FBI earlier is that you assumed that they knew that he was out at Parkland, that he had been at Parkland Hospital?
Mrs. Tice. I assumed that they knew everywhere he had been.
Mr. Griffin. How did you expect that they would have known that unless somebody told them about it?
Mrs. Tice. Well, they are talking to the news all the time, and Eva said they tracked him down from here to there and said that they had asked her all about it and everything. And she wanted to know what time I saw him out there. I said, “I don’t know what time it was, but I know that I was out at the hospital by 1 o’clock, and I know that I was back at my house at 3 o’clock, because my children get home from school at 10 after 3, and when they come home I am home.”
Mr. Griffin. How long had you stood out there before you saw this man that you thought was Jack Ruby?
Mrs. Tice. Well, there was some lady and some little child with some group of people standing there and I asked them what they were doing now and she said, “Well, they haven’t said anything.” And she said she can’t hear anything. This is when I saw the one that at that time I didn’t know was anybody like Jack Ruby, and then this man that came up to him and slapped him on the shoulder and started talking to him.
Mr. Griffin. How long did this man that you think was Jack Ruby, how long did he stand out there next to you?
