United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Now, if you will refer again to what I have marked as
Exhibit No. 2, I notice that Ruby at that time mentions a girl by the
name of Karen Bennett of Fort Worth and about sending her a telegram.
There is no mention in this report of having received a telephone call
from her. Am I correct, then, in my assumption that he did not tell you
that at that time?
Mr. HALL. He did not tell me that at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. I take it also that he did not tell you that the girl had
called him at that time--he did not tell you at that time that the
girl had called him on the night before?
Mr. HALL. That’s true. He did not tell me at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. Referring again to Exhibit No. 2 and page 15 thereof, in
the very last paragraph, I wonder if you could clarify for us just
what he meant there? You say that this is what Ruby advised you--“He
said that sometime after sending the telegram he entered the basement
building where the police department is located, entering from the Main
Street side. Ruby did not wish to say how he got into the basement or
at what time he entered.”
We were a bit confused about that and wanted to get some clarification,
because we don’t know if he admitted then that he did go down the ramp,
but didn’t want to say anything more about it, or left any question
open as to how he got in there. I mean, there is the possibility that
there was another Main Street entrance that he could get in. As I
understand it, really, he didn’t deny, from what you gather, he went in
through the ramp that goes down to the basement, but that is as far as
he would go?
Mr. HALL. Yes; he would not give any details as to how he got in or
what time--how he went about getting into the ramp to the basement from
the Main Street side, but he did admit entering the basement from the
Main Street side, and that ramp is the only way to get into it.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I would like to show you another document which
purports to be a report of an interview of Jack Ruby by you, Mr. Hall,
and Mr. Clements--Manning C. Clements on December 12, 1963. For the
purpose of identifying that document, as I understood your testimony
about it later, I have marked it on the first page as follows: “Dallas,
Texas, May 28, 1964, Exhibit No. 3, deposition of C. Ray Hall,” and
I have signed my name below that and I have marked each of the other
pages with my initials in the lower right-hand corner. That document is
the report of an interview of December 21, 1963, and runs from page 2
to the top of page 17 of the Clements’ report of January 8, 1964.
Now, I would like you to tell us the circumstances of that interview,
how it was arranged, who was present when it started and when it ended
and so forth.
