(Testimony of Huey Reeves)

Mr. Reeves.
Yes; I believe I did.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember whether you put a time stamp on it or not?
Mr. Reeves.
I don't believe I did--I don't think so.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you have a timeclock there?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You just slip in a piece of paper and it automatically notes the time of day?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, just a piece of paper you put in there, and it stamps the time on it, but I don't remember whether I did it or not on this--it was a piece of paper.
Mr. Hubert.
She signed it?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, she signed her name.
Mr. Hubert.
And, this was the receipt---do you remember what it said?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I believe I just said "Received $5--by Jack Ruby" or "Received $5" and let her put her name I don't remember whether I put Jack Ruby's name upon that or not.
Mr. Hubert.
And that's the record of it?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, that's the record.
Mr. Hubert.
What time was that?
Mr. Reeves.
It was probably about 9 or 9:30--I don't remember exactly.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you said a moment ago that sometime after that Ruby came in?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, he came in--it was probably 30 minutes or an hour or something like that; I don't remember.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, tell us what happened then?
Mr. Reeves.
Well, he just came in and says, "Hero's your $5," and he never did anything about the receipt and I handed him the receipt, just like I said.
Mr. Hubert.
What did he do with the receipt?
Mr. Reeves.
I imagine he put it in his pocket.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't see him put it in his pocket?
Mr. Reeves.
No, I didn't see him--I wasn't paying any attention.
Mr. Hubert.
What was his condition when he came in that night?
Mr. Reeves.
Not paying no attention to Jack Ruby--I didn't pay him attention-no attention to him, walking around in my place or coming into my office then--I was busy and didn't pay no attention to him. You know, he's in there all the time parking his car, and when he come out of his club lots of times he would walk around and into the office and talk to them that way, and he would say a few words, and if he went out for sandwiches he would always ask us if we needed any sandwiches or drinks or anything like that. Me was an awful nice fellow--awful nice.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you notice whether he seemed to be crying or upset about anything that night?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I didn't--I didn't pay any attention to him, but he seemed like too, you see, I was in the office now, and the guy's lounge was back in here.
Mr. Hubert.
Whose lounge what lounge?
Mr. Reeves.
The lounge in the office, and then the Saturday morning, it seemed like, too, he would go back in the waiting room and prance walk around more than usual, but he always did walk around--he had hard heels on, and you could hear him walking when he would come out of his club. I would be sitting in the office, maybe figuring up my back receipts, and I would hear him tapping those heels and I would say, "It's Jack Ruby, because he is coming out of his club."
Mr. Hubert.
You say this night he was walking a little bit more than usual?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; it seemed like he was a little bit more restless.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you talk to him?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I didn't pay any attention--I never thought much about it, you know.
Mr. Hubert.
Could you tell whether he was crying?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I really didn't pay any attention to him.
Mr. Hubert.
The only thing you noticed about his general conduct that night that was different from other nights was that he seemed to be walking around a little bit more?
