United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Like, let’s say like, being removed from the scene of the crime. He
just wanted to get away from it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So when you talk about disgust or revulsion, do you mean
to direct it, could it have simply meant that the recent--that the
events that upset him--or do you think he made some special connection
with the city itself that he was living in so he wanted--you know you
have indicated here he was making some special connection with this
place as a place he wanted to have nothing more to do with it?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Yes; that is the way he felt because he lost a very
dear friend, that is what I am trying to bring out. He just wanted to
get away. He wanted to sell out and he was having----
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he indicate what he would do after that?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. With a fellow like Jack you don’t have to worry what
he can do. He can do a thousand things and make a living. He is very
capable. And he has got a good mouthpiece. He has proved it before he
went into the nightclub business. He was in the manufacturing business
with Earl, he walked out with a nice piece of change.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are you in the habit of keeping your papers and records
that you make over the years. Do you retain these?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. What kind of papers?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Receipts and check stubs and things of that sort.
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I try to. I try the best I can in my own small way.
I am my own bookkeeper, my own recorder, my own lawyer, and my own
everything and I try to keep them as best as I can.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How far back do you keep them?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. You are supposed to keep them for 4 years, you know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long do you keep them?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I try to keep them for 4 years.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall that when you were interviewed by one of
the FBI agents that you showed him your receipt for the piano that you
sent? How did you happen to keep that?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. By accident. Just one of those incidents. Did you see
the color of that sheet, how it looked?
Mr. GRIFFIN. I haven’t seen it.
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. Oh, brother. You would never believe that a receipt
would last that long. Of course, you could always check it with the
piano company.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do on Saturday, the 23d of November?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I don’t remember. If I had my daybook here--I have
a daybook I keep my notes in for what I am supposed to do, like you
lawyers do.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you go to work?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I don’t remember. I could get my daybook and tell you
exactly what I did, nothing to hide.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you have it here in Washington?
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. No; I can tear out the sheet and mail it to you. Would
you like that?
Mr. GRIFFIN. It would be fine. Would you want to make a note of that?
In fact, if you can run off a copy just send us a copy.
Mr. RUBENSTEIN. I don’t need it. What do I need it for? I have nothing
to hide.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Why don’t you send us----
