Mr. Hubert. Was he complaining that the paper had taken the ad?
Mr. Newnam. I don’t recall that he particularly complained about it. He was concerned about the nature of the ad.
Mr. Hubert. How did he express his concern?
Mr. Newnam. Oh, he was—of course, he had read the ad the night before. It had come out on the street in the early edition, but he was specifically—as to what he said by words, I don’t recall. It’s just a matter that he was commenting on it. I remember that. All the time I was doing some work trying to get some of the stuff out of the way.
Mr. Hubert. That was prior to the announcement of the shooting at all?
Mr. Newnam. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. And you don’t remember the exact words, but whatever they were, he addressed himself to the Weissman ad and your recollection is that whatever he said, showed some concern, as you put it?
Mr. Newnam. Some concern—yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Was it a concern favorable to the content or impact of the Weissman ad or the converse?
Mr. Newnam. I would say the converse.
