Mr. Hallmark. The best words I can think of to use—he was typically himself only more so.
Mr. Hubert. But I mean, did you get the impression of the “more so” then or did you think about it later and realize that it was more so?
Mr. Hallmark. I got it then.
Mr. Hubert. You got it then and there?
Mr. Hallmark. Yes; definitely.
Mr. Hubert. You didn’t comment to anybody about it?
Mr. Hallmark. No; not specifically.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, on the 23d you had the mental reflection that Ruby is acting a little bit differently than he usually does?
Mr. Hallmark. Yes; and the remarks which he made. He remarked to me and the first person he talked to on the telephone about what had happened to the President was terrible. Of course, I would certainly not object to his using the phone, he has used it numerous times, but I just acted, you know, I just left him alone. I didn’t try to engage him in any conversation or anything because, or partially because of the way he was acting.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, the manifestations of a difference in his attitude not only impressed itself on your memory at the time, but actually caused you to behave toward him differently than normally you would have?
