Mr. RICHEY. The town I come from the people aren’t very broadminded. Mrs. RICHEY. There is not very many Richeys around. Mr. GRIFFIN. There will be volumes and volumes of this testimony. I might ask your husband just one question. You are here and you are not under oath and you aren’t obliged to answer it, but since you are here I will ask you if there is anything that you would like to contribute as a result of having heard this deposition? Mr. RICHEY. As you could gather, I knew Jack Ruby myself. Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes. Mr. RICHEY. I spoke with him the night before I left for home, which is the night before President Kennedy was killed, and he seemed normal. Mr. GRIFFIN. Where did you see him? Mr. RICHEY. At the club. I was sitting there at the club waiting for Margie to finish work. He come up, sat alongside me, asked what I thought of the job. And to me of course in my own opinion he was always off somewhere in his mind. He asked me a question but he didn’t listen to my answer. He was thinking of something else completely, which is just talking. This is the impression the man gave me in the first place. Mr. GRIFFIN. How long were you at the club Thursday night? Mr. RICHEY. Oh, I worked at a liquor store in Dallas. Mrs. RICHEY. No. Mr. RICHEY. I got out of the Army that Thursday and I spent that whole evening---- Mrs. RICHEY. No, Wednesday, the 20th, and you left Thursday morning so you didn’t see Jack. Mr. RICHEY. Wednesday night I spent the night at the club. This is the night that I talked to Jack Ruby. That is right; I am sorry. And the President was shot the following day. Mr. GRIFFIN. You spent Wednesday night at the club. About how long were you there? Mr. RICHEY. Most of the whole night. Mr. GRIFFIN. How long did you talk with Jack on that occasion? Mr. RICHEY. Oh, just a couple minutes. It wasn’t very busy if I can remember, and he come up and sat alongside of me. Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he mention anything to you about the fact that the President was coming to town? Mr. RICHEY. No. I was aware myself that the President was coming, but I didn’t know he was coming to Dallas because they were expecting him at Fort Hood, Tex. They kind of had a feeling he might stop in. They were getting ready for this big inspection, but I didn’t know he was coming to Dallas. This was a surprise to me. Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you have anything else that you can think of? Mr. RICHEY. No, I don’t think so. Mr. GRIFFIN. I want to thank you both again, and I hope you have a pleasant trip back.
