Mr. Kantor. Well, I understood later on that Jack Ruby had been in the assembly room in the basement of the Dallas Police Station after midnight on Friday going into Saturday. I didn’t see him at that time. I was in that room. It was a very crowded room. But I thought about our conversation on Saturday when I passed by his place. And earlier Saturday evening I thought of Jack Ruby because meat sandwiches, beef sandwiches, I believe they were, had shown up in the pressroom of the Dallas Police Station, and I heard someone remark that Jack Ruby had brought them in. I didn’t see him then, either.
Mr. Griffin. You heard this while you were at the police station?
Mr. Kantor. Yes; Well, I was going in the room to get a sandwich, and they were gone, they were gone very rapidly. I heard someone either specifically say it to me or I heard someone specifically saying to someone else that Jack Ruby was the person that brought these in.
Mr. Griffin. Was that Friday afternoon or late Friday evening, or in the middle of Friday?
Mr. Kantor. I am not sure now. It seems to me that it was Saturday. It seems to me that it was Saturday, late afternoon.
Mr. Griffin. Well, when, after you walked down Commerce Street on Saturday night did you next think about your encounter with Ruby at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. Kantor. Well, having walked past his place, and having seen that it was closed, I don’t know whether I gave it any more thought.
Mr. Griffin. I mean after that, when was the next time you thought about it?
Mr. Kantor. The next time was just moments after 11:21 a.m., Sunday morning, when I discovered that Jack Ruby had shot Oswald.
Mr. Griffin. Now, what did you do immediately after Ruby shot Oswald?
