United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Jack, was he questioned at the same time?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Jack was in the Army.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You don’t have any recollection of his being questioned?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Jack was never in Dallas before in his life. He didn’t
know nothing about Dallas. He never met Jones. I met Jones through Eva.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You don’t ever remember meeting Jones with Jack?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I told you Jack did not know Jones.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well now, if the record showed differently, would you
think you might be mistaken?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. No; I am almost positive. Because this was before Jack
went down there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember a time when Jack was living at the Sherman
Hotel?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. When was that?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. When he came out of the Army.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall if during part of the period when he was
living at the Sherman Hotel he also went down to Dallas for a while to
see Eva?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I don’t remember that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Incidentally, when Jack was in Chicago were there times
when he did not live with the family?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Yes; when he stayed at the Sherman Hotel.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Any other time?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Either the Sherman or the Congress, one of the two
hotels I know he stayed.
Mr. GRIFFIN. For how long was he living in a hotel?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I don’t know, after he got out of the service.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Why was it that he was not living with the family?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. He had sold out his business to my brother Earl or part
of his interest to my brother Earl, and he had some money, and so he
felt he wanted to live by himself for a while, which is all right. I
mean he was no kid any more, he was a man.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there room for him at home?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I don’t remember.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you have any contact with Jack during the fall of 1963
prior to the time that the President was assassinated?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Tell us about your contact with Jack?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. In the fall of 1963. Let me tell you when the first
time was. He called me on the phone, the records you get from the
telephone company, and he is going to send me up--he wanted me to come
down and become his manager of the Carousel Club.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When was this?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. In the fall, sometime in the fall of 1963 and he also
told me in 1962 he wanted me to come down----
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let’s talk about this being the manager first before we
get into the other thing.
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Why did he need a manager?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. He wanted someone in the family to run the place.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What was he going to do?
