United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. EVANS. In fact, we was not in there, and sleeping in the daytime
mostly when we was there, so I really don’t know anyone there.
Mr. HUBERT. Anyhow, this man that you saw, who you think might have
been Ruby, you never had seen him before nor have you seen him after?
Mr. EVANS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. And your testimony is that this document identified as
Exhibit 5122, looks like him?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But that he had on a T-shirt instead of a tie and the----
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Then did he have a hat on?
Mr. EVANS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see his hair?
Mr. EVANS. Well, it was kind of thin there down the middle. That looks
a little darker than what I remembered. Seemed like he was sort of
grayish.
Mr. HUBERT. How tall a man was he?
Mr. EVANS. He was a lot shorter than I was, five something.
Mr. HUBERT. How tall are you?
Mr. EVANS. Six.
Mr. HUBERT. You are 6 foot?
Mr. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You say 5 foot what?
Mr. EVANS. Five six or----
Mr. HUBERT. What sort of build?
Mr. EVANS. Stout and husky.
Mr. HUBERT. How--powerful looking man?
Mr. EVANS. Well----
Mr. HUBERT. Strong looking?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you anything else that you know?
Mr. EVANS. That is all I know. Well, I know Slaughter told me that he’s
seen him dressed up not long after that.
Mr. HUBERT. Did I understand you to say that Mr. Slaughter made some
comment about this man known as Jack Ruby----
Mr. EVANS. Well, they told me he did. I don’t know whether he did or
not.
Mr. HUBERT. What did he tell you?
Mr. EVANS. Said that he--not long after I had left and went back to
church, he said a man had--dressed up, and walked by our apartment, and
he spoke to him, or something, I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he say that he thought it was Ruby?
Mr. EVANS. They said they thought it was.
Mr. HUBERT. When did they say they had seen him?
Mr. EVANS. Well, if it was him it was somewhere right at 11 o’clock.
Mr. HUBERT. When did he tell you that?
Mr. EVANS. After we got back, found out what happened.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, told you on that same day?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. When you told him that you thought you had seen Ruby
earlier when he was carrying in laundry, he told you that he thought
he had seen him dressed up a little later?
Mr. EVANS. Uh-huh, that was after Oswald was shot, and they was out
there taking pictures.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever advise the FBI agent that you had seen Ruby
around the apartment, although you did not know him personally?
Mr. EVANS. No, sir; I never did. The only time I saw him was that one
time.
Mr. HUBERT. If it was Ruby? Right?
