(Testimony of Huey Reeves)

Mr. Hubert.
He had a special spot there?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; he had a special spot there. We could move it up and down, because he would leave his key, and we could move it up and down as we had to move it in parking, but it seemed to me like he left again to go--he was going home, and I told Mack, the colored man that worked for me, I said, "That looked like Jack Ruby's car that went up the street." You see, I sit on Commerce Street and I can tell every car that passed if I just wanted to look out, and it seemed to me, I told Mack that that looked like Jack Ruby's car that went back up the street, up Commerce.
Mr. Hubert.
He didn't have to check in with you to get his car out?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; he was a monthly parker, he paid by the month. When his car was parked there, nobody fooled with it, because he was a monthly parker. You see, the drive came in this way [indicating] for all the ticket cars, and over here on the side, was his parking place. Of course, we might park two or three in front of his, but sometimes we would move his if a boy had to sweep or something, we would have to move his car up and down and back and forth.
Mr. Hubert.
What time was it, about, that you saw him leave again and made a comment to that effect to the colored boy?
Mr. Reeves.
It seems to me like when he left he said, "I'm going home," and I told Mack, it looked to me Jack Ruby was going back up the street and he said he was going home when he left, and, told me earlier, "Boy, I'm going home."
Mr. Hubert.
You say usually he went out to his room in Oak Cliff?
Mr. Reeves.
And I told the boys, "That looked like Jack Ruby's car that went back up the street." That might not have been him--there's lots of cars that looks like that, but that's what I told Mack Jones, the colored man there.
Mr. Hubert.
What time was that?
Mr. Reeves.
It was probably 9:30 or 10 or maybe 10 or over, I wouldn't say for sure, but I would just sort of estimate the time.
Mr. Hubert.
That was after he had given you the $5 back?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
So, he didn't stay in the club very long?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I don't remember him ever going up in the club that night. I don't think he even went up in the club.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, he just came and gave you the $5, picked up the receipt and left pretty quick?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; it seemed to me like he came back again and fooled around in the lobby lots--he would come back and fool around at the garage and my colored man was a good friend of his and he always talked a lot to Jack Ruby--he talked to him and I was a good friend to him, too, on account of that.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see him any more than that?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; that's the last time I have seen him.
Mr. Hubert.
The last time you have seen him?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; I believe so.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't see him Sunday morning ,before you went off duty, did you?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; I sure didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see him earlier on Saturday, the day after the President was shot?
Mr. Reeves.
Saturday after the President was shot?
Mr. Hubert.
Of course, you were off on Saturday morning until 7 that night?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; I am off in the daytime I'm just there at night--I couldn't tell you whether I saw him.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see him on Friday night during your shift, which ran from 7, November 22, Friday night, to 7 o'clock Saturday morning, November 2.2-23, 1963?
Mr. Reeves.
I can't recall that in there so much. I wouldn't want to say for sure whether I seen him or not.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember his making any comment to you on--about the shooting of the President?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; no, sir.
