United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PAUL. I don’t know nothing about the slaying of Oswald—that’s for
sure.
Mr. HUBERT. I understand that, but we know all you know about it when
we have what you told us tonight and this statement—there’s nothing
else?
Mr. PAUL. I just told you all I know about Jack Ruby for 15 years.
Mr. HUBERT. There’s nothing we don’t know that you know?
Mr. PAUL. That’s right.
Mr. HUBERT. Is that a fair statement?
Mr. PAUL. If I knew any more I would be willing to tell you, because
you didn’t pull the words out of my mouth either.
Mr. HUBERT. No; that’s correct.
Mr. PAUL. I spoke to you as I knew it.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you anything else to add?
Mr. PAUL. No—really, no.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate your coming in and I am
sorry it took so long.
Mr. PAUL. Well, that’s perfectly all right.
Mr. HUBERT. Thank you very much for coming in.
Mr. PAUL. All right, thank you.
