Mr. Knight. But I mean looking back on it, it’s hard to figure what he actually told you and what you read about him after it happened because, naturally, you would read all these things and it’s hard to piece out when at the time who would guess that he would do something like this.
Mr. Griffin. Well——
Mr. Knight. May I make a statement?
Mr. Griffin. Sure.
Mr. Knight. It’s—again it’s speculation.
Mr. Griffin. All right.
Mr. Knight. But my wife and I both were talking about this, about Ruby’s conduct, like he didn’t really come out and say this or this just seemed to be sort of mixed up about the situation and the speech “Heroism” had been soiled and evidently had been used, and it wasn’t the average commercial content and so forth and so on that you would get through the mail by sending off. There’s a possibility somebody could have given him that speech, planting the seeds of heroism in his mind, knowing that he was of an excitable nature and a very impressionable type person and did like to be on the side of right people, the people in the front, show people, et cetera.
Mr. Griffin. Do you have any idea who such a person might be?
Mr. Knight. No; but it seemed to me like too much of a coincidence that he should be carrying a speech called “Heroism” and then for him to shoot Oswald on Sunday morning, and for this point, maybe it is a coincidence, but it’s been overlooked.
Mr. Griffin. Can you think of any other places he could have got this heroism ad except from Station KRLD or a person affiliated with it, the H. L. Hunt booth down at Dallas State Fair perhaps, or from writing in to wherever it is centrally produced? Those would be the three places?
