Mr. HUBERT. Did you testify at the trial on the merits too; that is to say, the main trial in February and March? Mr. HALL. Of Ruby? Mr. HUBERT. Yes, sir. Mr. HALL. No, sir; I was not subpenaed. Mr. HUBERT. They only called you for this bond hearing? Mr. HALL. I was subpenaed at several of the hearings, but this bond hearing is the only court hearing of any type that I actually testified in. Mr. HUBERT. Was Mr. Clements called to your knowledge? Mr. HALL. During the trial? Mr. HUBERT. Yes. Mr. HALL. I’m not positive, but I don’t believe he testified during it or at any of the hearings. Mr. HUBERT. Did any of the State officials confer with you for the purpose of using you as witnesses to what Ruby had told you? Mr. HALL. No, sir. Mr. HUBERT. Do you know the reason why? Mr. HALL. No, sir. Mr. HUBERT. I think that’s about all, Mr. Hall. Have you anything else you would like to add? Mr. HALL. No, sir; I’ll try to answer any questions you may have. Mr. HUBERT. I don’t think I have any more. That clarifies it all. Thank you, sir. Mr. HALL. Thank you very much. Mr. HUBERT. Mr. Hall, prior to the beginning of this deposition, you and I had not met in fact nor had we conversed in any way at all? Mr. HALL. That’s correct. As far as I know, I have never seen you before I entered this room. Mr. HUBERT. I think we did speak about some of the acquaintances I knew many years ago in the FBI, but we did not speak about anything concerning this deposition at all? Mr. HALL. No, sir; we had no conversation concerning this matter that you are connected with at anytime except during the time you were taking this deposition. Mr. HUBERT. And so that all of our contact as to this whole matter has been a matter of record? Mr. HALL. Yes, sir. Mr. HUBERT. That’s all, and I thank you very much. Mr. HALL. Thank you. TESTIMONY OF SETH KANTOR The testimony of Seth Kantor was taken at 9:15 a.m., on June 2, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C., by Messrs Burt W. Griffin and Leon D. Hubert, Jr., assistant counsel of the President’s Commission. Mr. GRIFFIN. Mr. Kantor, as you know, the Commission has been set up pursuant to an Executive order of President Johnson, and a joint resolution of Congress, which was enacted on November 29 of last year. The Commission has been directed to inquire into and evaluate the evidence with respect to the assassination of President Kennedy and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. We have asked you to come here today because, from the interview that you have provided to the FBI it appears that you would have some information which would bear upon the activities of Jack Ruby, and the events that transpired between the time the President was assassinated and the time that Ruby shot Oswald. I believe that you received a letter from us. Mr. KANTOR. I did. Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you state for the record when you received the letter?
