Mr. Kravitz. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. When did you first happen to meet him?
Mr. Kravitz. I was with an entertainer friend of mine—I really can’t give you specific dates, but the entertainer was a comedian, Fred Barber, [spelling] B-a-r-b-e-r.
Mr. Griffin. That’s Barber?
Mr. Kravitz. Yes; and Fred and I were in a Chinese restaurant—Yee’s—and Jack Ruby, I presume, saw Fred’s act and came over to the table and introduced himself to Fred and myself. I did not know him prior to that and asked Fred and myself to come to his club, which we did the next evening.
Mr. Griffin. How long was that before the President was assassinated?
Mr. Kravitz. Oh, that was quite some time.
Mr. Griffin. Several months?
Mr. Kravitz. Oh, I really can’t say—it was just 4 or 5 or 6 months, I suppose, and then I saw Mr. Ruby. After that I went to his club a few times. I saw Mr. Ruby approximately a week before the assassination.
Mr. Griffin. Now, when you talked with two FBI agents, Joseph Peggs and Alvin Zimmerman, you indicated that the last time you saw Ruby at the Carousel Club was on November 20; that would be 2 days before the assassination?
