Mr. Griffin. Are there any facts that you can think of which would indicate one way or another that that happened or did not happen?
Mr. Knight. No; all I know is that Duncan had the interview with Wade but he wanted me to get another one.
Mr. Griffin. It was your understanding when you left, or was it your understanding when you left the radio station that Duncan had already tape-recorded an interview of Wade?
Mr. Knight. No; he told me to get an interview with Wade and it wasn’t until I got back that he said he had tried earlier and got an interview but it wasn’t satisfactory. Now, another point about Ruby pointing out Henry Wade to me, I had never seen Henry Wade before because I usually didn’t do news. I was on the personality and record playing. Wade said that he didn’t know Ruby but I guess Ruby could have seen him other places. But he did point him out. He said, “This is Henry Wade. This is the Weird Beard.” But he seemed to know Wade.
Mr. Griffin. In your interview here, Agents Neeley and Rice report that after you interviewed Wade “when he got through Ruby was gone.” You testified here today, you recall, that you actually walked out with Ruby, that you saw Ruby a few feet away. Now, which would be the most accurate?
Mr. Knight. As I say, this is what probably happened on that. When I got through with the interview he wasn’t around but when I started to walk out I encountered him again so this would be more accurate.
Mr. Griffin. Now, you also mentioned in your interview report or the FBI mentions that you recalled Ruby was grieving for the Kennedy family. Do you have any recollection that he mentioned the Kennedy family in any way?
Mr. Knight. Yes. I’m almost sure that he said “That poor family.”
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall where that would have taken place?
Mr. Knight. That would have been around the radio station.
