Jack Ruby--I do not know, I did not know. It has been intimated that a great many of the Dallas police officers did know him, but from what I've been able to find out, there were some police officers who knew him, but most of them knew him because of the fact they had conducted police business with him at his place of business. There were a few, perhaps, that knew him and had gone to his place of business for social activities, but it was certainly not--he is not known by the majority of the police department. Mr. HUBERT. Chief, perhaps you would like to comment on two things--one, is that, as you know, there has been some talk or rumor, of course, that the police department cooperated, or some members of it, with Ruby for an opportunity for Ruby to shoot Oswald. Have you looked into that, and if you have, would you give us your observations about it? Mr. CURRY. My instructions to the investigating officers were to go into every facet of this incident and to uncover any information that might indicate that any police officer cooperated in any way with letting Ruby get in a position to where he could have an opportunity to shoot Oswald. Mr. HUBERT. Did you find any evidence that would indicate anything? Mr. CURRY. No evidence whatsoever were we able to find. Mr. HUBERT. You were looking for such? Mr. CURRY. Yes; we certainly were. Mr. HUBERT. Chief, what was your intention had you found such evidence? Mr. CURRY. Proper action would have been taken. Mr. HUBERT. And by that you mean what? Mr. CURRY. The officer, if criminal negligence had been established, he would have been filed on by us. Mr. HUBERT. Now, there has been also the rumor that while the police did not actively cooperate, that they saw Jack Ruby there, didn't pay much attention to him, were really appalled when he did what he did, and then after that, engaged in a cover-up activity to preserve the reputation of the police department. Can you tell us whether your investigative efforts were directed toward uncovering any evidence which might throw light on that matter? Mr. CURRY. This investigation which was conducted was a completely impartial investigation. We in the police department for a number of years have felt like if there is anything wrong in our department, we want to know it, and if actions of the officers are improper, an examination of our records through the years will show that we have taken whatever action was indicated, whether this be filing on a man for law violations or for improper conduct or whatever it might be. The seriousness of the offense is certainly not covered up and through the years we have a reputation for a high standard of conduct and the integrity of the department has not been questioned. Mr. HUBERT. You are satisfied that from all you know that there has been no effort to cover up? Mr. CURRY. No, sir; not to my knowledge, and had there been and it had come to my knowledge, I certainly would have done something about it.
