Mr. RUBY. Why go back to Friday, Joe? Mr. TONAHILL. You are going to come right down---- Mr. RUBY. Why go back to Friday? That set me off. Then it is a greater premeditation than you know is true. Mr. TONAHILL. I don't say it is premeditation. I never have. I don't think it is. Mr. RUBY. Because it never entered my mind when they talked about, the officer, cutting him into bits. You would like to have built it up for my defense, but that is not it. I am here to tell the truth. Mr. TONAHILL. The psychiatrist said that to me. Mr. RUBY. You want to put that into my thoughts, but it never happened. I took it with a grain of salt what he said at that particular time. Well, it is too bad, Chief Warren, that you didn't get me to your headquarters 6 months ago. Chief Justice WARREN. Well, Mr. Ruby, I will tell you why we didn't. Because you were then about to be tried and I didn't want to do anything that would prejudice you in your trial. And for that reason, I wouldn't even consider asking you to testify until your trial was over. That is the only reason that we didn't talk to you sooner. And I wish we had gotten here a little sooner after your trial was over, but I know you had other things on your mind, and we had other work, and it got to this late date. But I assure you, there is no desire on our part to let this matter go to any late date for any ulterior purpose. I assure you of that. And as I told you at the beginning, if you want a test of some kind made, I will undertake to see that it is done. Mr. RUBY. You have power to do it, even though the district attorney objects to me getting the tests? Chief Justice WARREN. Yes; I do. Mr. RUBY. How soon can it be done? Chief Justice WARREN. Well, I am not familiar with those things, but we will try to do it expeditiously, you may be sure, because we are trying to wind up the work of this Commission. And I assure you we won't delay it. Mr. RUBY. Are you staying overnight here, Chief Warren? Chief Justice WARREN. No; I have to be back, because we have an early session of the Court tomorrow morning. Mr. RUBY. Is there any way of getting a polygraph here? Mr. DECKER. May I make a suggestion? Jack, listen, you and I have had a lot of dealings. Do you want my officers removed from the room while you talk to this Commission? Mr. RUBY. That wouldn't prove any truth. Mr. DECKER. These people came several thousand miles to interview you. You have wanted to tell me your story and I have refused to let you tell me. Now be a man with a bunch of men that have come a long way to give you an opportunity to. You asked me for permission to tell your story, and I told you "No." This is a supreme investigating committee at this particular time. Now give them your story and be a man, if you want them to deal with you and deal fairly with you. Mr. RUBY. It is unfair to me unless I get all the facilities to back up what I say.
