Mr. Griffin. How do you know it was later that night?
Mr. Dowe. One of the news people, I believe Glenn Duncan, said he was there. This was after Ruby had shot Oswald.
Mr. Griffin. Is there anything from your own experience that would indicate whether these telephone calls from Ruby came in the afternoon before Ruby showed up in the evening, or whether the telephone calls came in the afternoon after Ruby had showed up the previous evening?
Mr. Dowe. No; I don’t recall. I remember him telling me he had come down and brought some sandwiches. I thought it was at night. Glenn Duncan would know. He was there, at this time. I didn’t know. At the time of the telephone calls, I didn’t know anything about any sandwiches or anything about Jack Ruby. As a matter of fact, I didn’t remember meeting him. I wasn’t very impressed, evidently, or I would have remembered him.
Mr. Griffin. When did you learn that Ruby had brought sandwiches?
Mr. Dowe. After Ruby had shot Oswald and after they were discussing it at the radio station.
Mr. Griffin. Is there any question in your mind but that Ruby called you on November 23, that is, Saturday, rather than on Friday?
Mr. Dowe. I am absolutely positive it was Saturday.
Mr. Griffin. What makes you sure it was Saturday?
Mr. Dowe. Because I was on the air about 4 o’clock that afternoon, and there was nothing happening, and it was the second day. It was after the assassination, so it must have been Saturday. If he was assassinated Friday, he didn’t call me Friday, because he called me Saturday. I remember going over to Chuck Dunnaway’s house Sunday morning, and he said, “Ken, you should have been here a minute ago, because Ruby just shot Lee Oswald.” And I said, “Who is Jack Ruby?” And he said, “Some guy that owns a club downtown.” And I said, “Jack Ruby; that is the guy who called me yesterday. You must be joking.” I was amazed, and I remembered he had called me yesterday, because we answered the telephone constantly. I get many calls, and I wouldn’t have remembered if it had been any longer than a day or two. I would have remembered, but at that time it just hit me, and I said, “That is the guy I talked to yesterday afternoon.”
