Mr. Hubert. I think you told me that the statements you made in this document which I have identified as Exhibit No. 1 were correct, and I would like you to, if you could, see if you can clarify this point: On the second page of that document, the FBI agents report you as saying the following: “He said”—that’s you—“that he did not see or hear of Ruby being in the Empire Room dancehall or any other Negro nightclub passing out $5 bills on November 23 or on any other occasion.” Is that correct—he was in your place?
Mr. Branch. He was in our place.
Mr. Hubert. So this statement that he was not in your place is not correct?
Mr. Branch. He was really in our place.
Mr. Hubert. And he did give out some $5 bills?
Mr. Branch. I said he give out one or two—yes.
Mr. Hubert. You said “three” a while ago?
Mr. Branch. When he started out that door, you know, all of them knew him—everybody in north Dallas knew him.
Mr. Hubert. Who did he give these $5 bills to?
Mr. Branch. Just some of the customers there at the door.
