Mr. Hubert. In other words, he was opposed to the Weissman ad?
Mr. Newnam. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. And that concern was as to “Why should such an adv. appear to be taken by the newspapers”?
Mr. Newnam. Yes; this would be the general concern.
Mr. Hubert. Now, I think you have said that you are quite certain that the news of the Tippit shooting was known to you and to Jack prior to Jack’s leaving the office?
Mr. Newnam. There was knowledge that—whether the man’s name was known—but it was known that an officer had been shot.
Mr. Hubert. And you think Jack knew that prior to leaving?
Mr. Newnam. Yes; I think so.
Mr. Hubert. Is there anything that fixes that in your mind?
Mr. Newnam. No; except the fact that I think he heard it and other people who were there at the time probably heard it at the same time.
