And the fact that he led me to believe—I will put it this way—that he was talking about them in the category of money hungry Jews is because he was so militantly against anybody bum-rapping Jews, that is a way of saying it. I don’t know how to word it. I know exactly what I want to say but I don’t know how to use the words. He thought it was a reflection on the Jews that these people would do such a thing. Let me put it that way.
Mr. Griffin. Did he say anything specifically that would lead you to believe that just on the basis of that conversation, or was this something that you were concluding on the basis of having known him.
Mr. Meyers. It was a conclusion from having known him because he did not mention the Weinsteins by name Saturday night when he talked to me. All he said, and he repeated this a number of times, were, “those poor people, those poor people, I have got to do something” or, “I should do something about this.” I don’t know exactly which words he used.
This he said a few times. Now, my assumption through my conversations with him and through knowing him is that he was talking about these Weinsteins.
I have since begun to believe that he was not talking about the Weinsteins. He was talking about the Kennedy family. At least this is my conclusion; and I am not a psychiatrist or an attorney.
Mr. Griffin. Well, again, is that conclusion based on anything he said that night or is it based simply on the fact that later he shot Lee Oswald.
Mr. Meyers. You mean my conclusion?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Meyers. I would assume it is based on the fact that Sunday morning he shot Lee Oswald.
Now, he did a number of times mention, “those poor people, those poor people. I have got to do something about it, or I should do something about it.” And you see, you must understand, Mr. Griffin, that the assassination, of course, had occurred. The murder of Oswald, particularly by Jack Ruby, was—well I can only say the furthest thing from my mind. I just had no belief or concept—any more than Miss Taylor might pick that thing up and decide to hit me on the head with it right now. I would be just as shocked. As a matter of fact, when I found out he had done it, it was the most shocking thing.
