Mr. Hubert. You didn’t know he had been shot until after you got back to the terminal?
Mr. Dietrich. Well, I didn’t even know that anything had happened after we returned to the terminal, because if I remember correctly, Mr. Hall and Mr. Fleming, we never did see them upon returning to the terminal. And Don Goin and I parked the truck, got in our cars, and we had plans to meet at a coffeeshop on Ross Avenue and have a cup of coffee before we departed for our respective homes. While we were in this cafe we heard the radio playing, or heard the announcer on the news, and one of the waitresses informed us that Jack Ruby had killed Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Hubert. Did you know Jack Ruby?
Mr. Dietrich. No; I didn’t.
Mr. Hubert. You didn’t notice any commotion around the jail prior to leaving?
Mr. Dietrich. I heard a siren and perhaps it was the ambulance arriving to take Oswald from the city jail to Parkland Hospital, I think it was.
Mr. Hubert. You left, however, before the big truck pulled out of the entrance?
Mr. Dietrich. Yes; I heard some confusion, and I thought perhaps something had happened, I wasn’t sure, but I didn’t know really what had happened.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember seeing any police cars come up to the Commerce Street exit after the big truck had backed into that exit?
Mr. Dietrich. No; I don’t remember any.
