Mr. Benton. No; I mean a white shirt with white figures embroidered—what appeared to be embroidered figures in the shirt. I noticed him because of something he said to District Attorney Wade, I believe it was. Wade was discussing the political background of Lee Oswald and Wade said something to the effect, and this is not a direct quote, “Well, I think he’s a member of that Free Cuba group;” whereupon, Jack Ruby corrected Wade and said, “No, it’s the Fair Play for Cuba and there’s a great difference between the two and I wanted to point that out.”
Mr. Hubert. Did Wade acknowledge that correction?
Mr. Benton. Wade said, “Well,” something like that. His answer is not clear in my mind.
Mr. Hubert. Where did that take place? I mean, what part of the jail?
Mr. Benton. To the best of my recollection, it occurred in what is called the assembly room, which is a room to which Oswald was taken that night to make a statement to the press. And to the best of my knowledge this occurred after Oswald had been in and——
Mr. Hubert. Left? Do you know what time that was?
Mr. Benton. Some time between 11 o’clock and midnight.
Mr. Hubert. Now, the FBI report of the interview with you on December 1, 1963, indicates that Ruby’s comment in regard to the difference between “Free Cuba,” and a “Fair Play for Cuba,” was made to correct Chief of Police Curry, whereas you have stated now that it was made to Mr. Wade, the district attorney.
Mr. Benton. I don’t recall saying that it was Chief Curry. I recall it was——
Mr. Hubert. But you now remember it was made to correct Wade’s remark and not Curry’s remark?
