Mr. Griffin.

Did you know him any way other than in the capacity as a fellow police officer?
Mr. MILLER, That is the only way.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did anything else happen before you went down into the basement on Sunday morning that you can remember?

Mr. Miller.

I can remember those 2 children that were brought in and working---I remember working on the papers pertaining to them and I remember asking Policewoman McLine, after we had been told to go to the basement, if she would finish the papers for me.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember anything else that happened or anything else that was said?

Mr. Miller.

That is prior to going to the basement?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Miller.

No, sir; I don't.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, after Ruby shot Oswald, did you talk with Officer Harrison?

Mr. Miller.

I am sure I did. In fact, after this was all over up there, I rode out to Love Field with Officer Harrison, so I am sure I did talk to him.

Mr. Griffin.

And did you talk to him about what had happened there in the basement?

Mr. Miller.

I am sure we did; yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you ask him whether he saw Ruby at any time before Ruby shot Oswald?

Mr. Miller.

No; I don't believe I did.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you talk to him about how Ruby got down into the basement?

Mr. Miller.

I am sure we discussed it; yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What do you remember about that?

Mr. Miller.

I don't remember anything definite, but I believe that more than likely everybody up there was wondering how he got down in there.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, immediately after Ruby shot Oswald, what did you do?

Mr. Miller.

The best I remember, at the time that this happened, I was walking or trying to walk down towards the corridor for cars to go through in behind of the officers and Oswald when they came out.

Mr. Griffin.

I want to know what you did after Ruby was shot.

Mr. Miller.

After Ruby was shot?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes; or Oswald was shot.

Mr. Miller.

The best I remember, someone, seemed like, hit Ruby from behind and pushed him forward, Like I said, I was trying to move that way when this happened, so I grabbed a hold of Ruby and helped take him into the jail office.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did you--were you with Ruby in the jail office when there were a lot of officers around him?

Mr. Miller.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Ruby put up any sort of a struggle there in the jail office?

Mr. Miller.

No; none that I remember.

Mr. Griffin.

Were you--did you have physical hold of Ruby in the jail office?

Mr. Miller.

When we got into the jail office; yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you hear Ruby say anything?

Mr. Miller.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

What did you hear him say ?

Mr. Miller.

As to definite words, I could give you what he said as best I remember it, but it may not be his exact words. It could be that he put some more words in.

Mr. Griffin.

Okay.

Mr. Miller.

The best I remember, he said something about--well, first off, somebody asked, "Who is he?, And he said, "Oh, hell! You guys know me. I am Jack Ruby." And the best I remember, he said something about, "I hope the son of a bitch dies," and something about, "It will save you guys a lot of trouble," or, "It will save everybody a lot of trouble," something like that.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember who it was that said, "Who is it?"

Mr. Miller.

No; I sure don't.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember anything else that was said while Ruby was there in the jail office?
