Mr. Hubert.

And when you did stay in that apartment it would be during the daytime, sometimes?

Mr. Slaughter.

Yes, sir--mostly in the daytime.

Mr. Hubert.

And mostly on Sundays and Saturdays?

Mr. Slaughter.

On weekends.

Mr. Hubert.

On weekends?

Mr. Slaughter.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ever get to meet a man by the name of Jack Ruby who occupied an apartment in that same building?

Mr. Slaughter.

Not personally.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you see him prior to November 24, 1963?

Mr. Slaughter.

I WOuld say possibly two or three times in passing, only.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ever converse with him?

Mr. Slaughter.

No, sir; only to say "hello" or some such greeting as that.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you know his name at that time?

Mr. Slaughter.

No, sir--not at that time.

Mr. Hubert.

Prior to November 24 you did not know his name?

Mr. Slaughter.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you know George Senator, who lived with him?

Mr. Slaughter.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you know him as well as you knew Jack Ruby, say, but of course you didn't know him at all?

Mr. Slaughter.

I don't know George Senator to this moment.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you know a man, even if you did not know his name, who shared an apartment with Jack Ruby?

Mr. Slaughter.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, coming precisely to November 24, 1963, do you remember whether you were at the apartment that you have described on that date?

Mr. Slaughter.

I was.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you remember whether you saw Jack Ruby on that date? At or about or near the apartment?

Mr. Slaughter.

On November 24?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Slaughter.

I did.

Mr. Hubert.

At approximately what time did you see him, sir?

Mr. Slaughter.

Approximately 10:05 a.m.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, you are fixing that time very accurately, and I want to ask you how you do so?

Mr. Slaughter.

Mr. Evans had just returned from a Catholic church in Oak Cliff, stating that he thought there was a 10 o'clock mass; however, there was none, so he returned to our apartment approximately at 10 o'clock a.m. I had just gotten up when he came in the apartment.

Mr. Hubert.

That's Evans you are talking about?

Mr. Slaughter.

When Evans came in the apartment, I spoke to him and asked him what happened. He replied there was no mass at 10 a.m. He had decided to go to 11 o'clock mass. I went out in the kitchen and put on the coffee pot. Then I asked Evans how was the weather? He said. "Rather windy." So, as was my custom, I walked out on the balcony just for my own information to see what the weather was like. It is approximately 50 feet to the railing where I would look down the freeway, and as I walked out the door toward this railing, I met Jack Ruby.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that in the hallway of the place?

Mr. Slaughter.

On a balcony, sir. He was coming the opposite way. I said, "Good morning," and he acknowledged the greeting, not with the words "Good morning," or "Howdy," or any such statement, but he did acknowledge the greeting.

Mr. Hubert.

That is to say, he made no sound but he made a nod, I suppose; is that what you mean?

Mr. Slaughter.

"Hmmm"; something like that.

Mr. Hubert.

You passed right by him, then?

Mr. Slaughter.

That's correct.

Mr. Hubert.

Within a matter of a foot or two?
