Mr. Rubenstein. From Jack directly.
Mr. Griffin. And he thought Oswald was using a phoney name in the advertisement and trying to disgrace the Jews?
Mr. Rubenstein. And also disgracing the President. You don’t call a President Mr. Kennedy. You call him Mr. President with respect to his title. And also trying to disgrace the name of Earl Warren, Supreme Court Justice of the United States.
Mr. Griffin. And he thought Oswald might have done the same thing?
Mr. Rubenstein. Right or his organization or somebody connected with that group whoever it was. He couldn’t understand it, somebody was doing it. There was the evidence and that bothered him. It kept boiling in him and boiling in him and finally he blew up and when he saw Oswald then he really blew up, and that is all I can tell you, gentlemen.
Mr. Griffin. Do you know or have you heard of anything that happened in Dallas between the time the President was shot and the time that Jack shot Oswald——
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. That would have led Jack to think that other people thought the Jews were behind the assassination of the President?
Mr. Rubenstein. No; I did not hear anything like that. You see we didn’t go down to Dallas—I didn’t go down there to Dallas—until almost Christmas time. That was almost a whole month so I didn’t know anything about it.
Mr. Griffin. I want to make sure my question is clear because it is possible that it can be misunderstood. I am not suggesting that the Jews were—that the Jews were behind the assassination.
