Mr. Hall. Officer Haake was some distance away at the outer door. He was present there but I doubt seriously if he heard the complete interview.
Mr. Hubert. Was he inside or outside the outer door?
Mr. Hall. He was outside.
Mr. Hubert. Outside the outer door?
Mr. Hall. Yes; Detectives McMillon and Clardy were present up until 3:15 p.m. when Jack Ruby was taken to the office of Capt. Will Fritz, the homicide and robbery bureau of the Dallas Police Department. After Ruby came back upstairs to the jail from the interview with Captain Fritz, apparently Detectives McMillon and Clardy had gone off duty and from that time on I was alone with Ruby in that cell block area interviewing him.
Mr. Hubert. There was, then, sort of an interruption of your interviewing?
Mr. Hall. Yes; there were interruptions.
Mr. Hubert. How long did this interruption take, so that we might, for instance, fix the time when the second part of this began, if you are able to help us on that?
Mr. Hall. There was more than one interruption, yes, sir; and I first entered the cell where Ruby was confined at 12:40 p.m. on November 24, 1963. Ruby conferred with Attorney Tom Howard from 1:58 p.m. to 2:02 p.m. He was then examined by Dr. Fred A. Bieberdorf (spelling) B-i-e-b-e-r-d-o-r-f, at 2:06 p.m. and I interviewed Ruby again from 2:24 p.m. until 3:15 p.m. I then returned to interviewing Jack Ruby from 4:30 until 5:30 p.m.
Mr. Hubert. And at 5:30 p.m. your interviewing was over with?
