(Testimony of Huey Reeves)
Mr. Reeves.
He talked to me.
Mr. Hubert.
When she was making the call on the telephone, you didn't know who she was calling?
Mr. Reeves.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
But you do know she made a phone call?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And after the phone call did she tell you anything?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; she didn't say anything--Jack told me.
Mr. Hubert.
Wait a minute, she didn't say anything to you after she made the phone call?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't know who she was calling?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was she with anybody?
Mr. Reeves.
I don't remember whether her husband was with her or not. Let's see, I didn't think about having to go through this--I don't just remember whether her husband--it seems to me like her husband was with her.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there a man with her?
Mr. Reeves.
There was a man with her, and I think it was her husband.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you introduced to her?
Mr. Reeves.
No; I wasn't introduced t.o her--I seen the boy claiming to be her husband--he's parked in there when she worked up there--he would get out of the car, you know, never did ask anybody their names. I just run the parking lot. I think her husband's name is Bruce. I've heard some of them call him Bruce.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know what his last name is?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I don't.
Mr. Hubert.
What happened after that?
Mr. Reeves.
Jack told me to let her have $5.
Mr. Hubert.
You said Jack told you that?
Mr. Reeves.
He said this---correct.
Mr. Hubert.
Did she come over into your office?
Mr. Reeves.
She was already on the phone, I believe, or he may have called me---I don't remember whether I called or she had phoned, and anyway he said to let her have $5, and now, I think, he said he would bring me down the money and make her sign a receipt, which I did.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't know whether or not you just got on the same phone she was talking on or whether Ruby called you separately; is that right?
Mr. Reeves.
I don't remember--it seems to me like he called me separately on my phone. You see, this is a little distance he would call me after he would get home and tell me to go see if he locked his door in the club--he thought he might have left it open.
Mr. Hubert.
What did he say when he called again?
Mr. Reeves.
To take this $5 and let the girl--I can't think of her name---but let the girl have the $5 and have the girl sign a receipt and I did, and he came and gave me the $5 and he picked up the receipt.
Mr. Hubert.
How do you know you were talking to Jack Ruby?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes--well, I knew his voice.
Mr. Hubert.
You have talked to him on the phone?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; lots of time.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, you thought it was Jack Ruby, now, did he tell you--he said he was Jack Ruby?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You have no doubt you were speaking to Jack Ruby?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; no doubt but what it was him at all--no.
Mr. Hubert.
That was the extent of your conversation?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, just the $5---let her have $5 because he wasn't ready to come down, and I let her have the $5 and made her sign her name, just like he said, and he got in a little bit later and gave me $5 and took the receipt.
Mr. Hubert.
What kind of a receipt was it?
Mr. Reeves.
Just a little piece of paper.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you date it?
