(Testimony of Malcolm R. Slaughter)
Mr. Hubert.
time that you first spoke to Evans until you saw Jack Ruby, or longer? Or shorter?
Mr. Slaughter.
I would say approximately that length of time.
Mr. Hubert.
About 10 minutes?
Mr. Slaughter.
About 10 minutes.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, in order to get it exactly straight, you would estimate that Evans came in about 5 minutes to 10, and that you occupied yourself in speaking to him a bit, and putting on the coffee, talking about the weather, and subsequently going out on the balcony and at the point at which you saw Ruby 10 minutes had elapsed from the time you first had spoken to Evans?
Mr. Slaughter.
That's approximately correct.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see Ruby any more that day?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there much space between your apartment and his apartment?
Mr. Slaughter.
Two apartments.
Mr. Hubert.
You couldn't hear anything that might be going on in his apartment?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you hear anything from the direction of his apartment which might have indicated someone was leaving?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you hear or see his automobile leave?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir; I haven't seen him yet.
Mr. Hubert.
This third gentleman who shared the apartments with you, I think you called him Mr. Scritchfield?
Mr. Slaughter.
Jack Scritchfield.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he there then?
Mr. Slaughter.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he see Ruby to your knowledge?
Mr. Slaughter.
Not on that day; no, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he sleeping?
Mr. Slaughter.
He had just gone to bed within 30 minutes of Evans' arrival.
Mr. Hubert.
And you would judge that he was asleep or at least in bed at the time Evans got back?
Mr. Slaughter.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Had he been up prior to that time and moving around?
Mr. Slaughter.
You are speaking of Jack?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Slaughter.
He had just come in off of a run.
Mr. Hubert.
He walked right into the house and undressed and went to bed?
Mr. Slaughter.
In a very short matter of time I don't know exactly what time Jack got to the apartment, but he had been on an overnight run and hehad just arrived and was due to sleep all day Sunday.
Mr. Hubert.
Prior to the time that you saw Ruby, had Sidney Evans mentioned anything to you about having seen him also?
Mr. Slaughter.
Not until after the television program.
Mr. Hubert.
Had you ever seen Ruby in or about the apartments with any feminine company?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Had you ever seen him there walking in or about with any man?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Had you ever seen him with a dog?
Mr. Hubert.
Mr. Slaughter, have you ever been interviewed by any member of the Commission prior to this occasion?
Mr. Slaughter.
Not the Commission.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, sir, have you anything else that you can tell us•regarding the movements of Jack Ruby on this day or on any other day?
Mr. Slaughter.
No, sir.
