Mr. Hubert.

dated November 26, 1963, addressed to J. E. Curry, chief of police, and the original apparently was signed by you, as, "Dallas, Texas, March 26, 1964. Exhibit No. 5099. Deposition of B. H. Combest." I am signing my name Leon D. Hubert, Jr., on the first page. On the second page, I am placing my initials in the lower right-hand corner. I am also marking for identification what purports to be a report of the FBI of an interview with you by Special Agents Dallman and Quigley on December 2, 1963, consisting of four pages, putting on this first page, in the right side margin the following, "Dallas, Texas, March 26, 1964. Exhibit No. 5101. Deposition of B. H. Combest." I am signing my name on the first page below that and placing my initials in the lower right-hand corner of the three succeeding pages. Now, Mr. Combest, you have read the letter dated November 26, addressed to Chief Curry, which I have marked Exhibit 5099. Does that document represent the truth, so far as you know it?

Mr. Combest.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you any comments to make about it?

Mr. Combest.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. Now let's turn to a document which I have marked 5101, which is the FBI report, and I will ask you if you have read that?

Mr. Combest.

Yes, sir; I have.

Mr. Hubert.

If you have any comments to make on that, corrections, deletions, anything been omitted?

Mr. Combest.

Well--

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, I want to know whether this represents a true, full statement of the interview and what you said, or didn't say, and let's have an explanation of it.

Mr. Combest.

Okay, sir. On the fourth page there, the third paragraph where--

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Combest.

They relate to the person named as Newman. They misunderstood me, evidently, on that. He does work at the Theatre Lounge as it so states there, but Ruby does not have anything to do with the Theatre Lounge. This is another so-called strip joint in the downtown area.

Mr. Hubert.

Here is the sentence we are talking about. "He did recall, however, that an indvidual by the name of Newman, first name unknown, was formerly district supervisor for the liquor control board, worked for Ruby at the. Theatre Lounge." Now, your statement is that that is an incorrect statement of what you said?

Mr. Combest.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you correct it, please?

Mr. Combest.

Well, the question was did I know of any police officers that had worked for Ruby.

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Combest.

At the time I told him, "No," I did not and I explained possibly where they had gotten their information was that a reserve police officer had made a statement to some news media that he had worked for Jack Ruby, but he is not a regular policeman for the city of Dallas, and I also told him that possibly what they had heard that this L. L. Newman, who formerly worked for the Texas Liquor Control Board was working at the Theatre Lounge in the downtown area, and possibly that was what they had heard.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you actually told them that there were two Newmans involved, one who had been a reserve officer

Mr. Combest.

No, sir; I do not recall the name of the reserve officer.

Mr. Hubert.

Two different individuals, one, who had been a reserve officer and one who had been with the Texas Liquor Control Board?

Mr. Combest.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And your statement to them was that possibly what they were thinking about when they were questioning you was that the Newman who had worked for the Texas Liquor Control Board was the one you thought had once

worked for the Theatre Lounge ?

Mr. Combest.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, did Ruby have any connection with the Theatre Lounge ?

Mr. Combest.

No, sir; none whatsoever.
