Mr. Griffin. Did Jack mention that particular topic to you?
Mr. Rubenstein. No, no, no.
Mr. Griffin. How about the shooting the three times, did he mention that particular incident?
Mr. Rubenstein. No: but he said he would never discuss those things in general.
Mr. Griffin. Go ahead.
Mr. Rubenstein. That television man who was downstairs taking movies of the thing, he made—he was testifying on the stand that at 10:25 and at 10:35 Jack came over and asked him twice when they were going to bring out Oswald. If he was 11:17 in the Western Union and got up to mail the money to this Little Lynn what would he be doing down at the station at 10:25. And who would dare walk into a police station with 30 policemen in front of television and radio reporters and shoot anybody unless you blacked out. The man must be crazy to do that.
Mr. Griffin. This one episode about the police officers’ testimony is apparently something that sticks in your mind. How many conversations did you have with Jack about the policemen’s testimony?
Mr. Rubenstein. Didn’t have hardly any. We don’t talk about those things, what happened at the trial. We didn’t want to relive the trial. We didn’t want to relive the shooting even.
Mr. Griffin. When did you first hear about, when did you first hear Jack deny that he had said the things that the policemen testified to?
Mr. Rubenstein. It either could have been in December or it could have been right, at one of the nights of the trial. I don’t remember which. I don’t know when those statements were made. It could have been after the trial. Because that is when the FBI took the report, too, I think.
