Mr. Hubert.

wakened you at the house, and you were dressing, and before you left, but you think now you must have?

Mr. Senator.

We must have because we went to the post office.

Mr. Hubert.

When he did see the ad, was there a comment about that?

Mr. Senator.

Yes; he wanted to know why on this.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, there were two things he wanted to know why on.

Mr. Senator.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Why the Earl Warren poster and why the Bernard Weissman ad?

Mr. Senator.

Right; yes.

Mr. Hubert.

So then he had you take Polaroid pictures of the poster concerning Chief Justice Warren, and then you went to the post office.

Mr. Senator.

We went to the post office.

Mr. Hubert.

What was the purpose of going there, and in connection with what?

Mr. Senator.

Well, that was in connection--going to the post office was in connection with the paper ad now.

Mr. Hubert.

How was it connected to the paper ad?

Mr. Senator.

Well, there was a post office box on this ad. I just don't recall the number of the post office box. But he wanted to see if there was such a box.

Mr. Hubert.

So did you go into the post office with him?

Mr. Senator.

We went into the post office. We saw a box with that number on it. There was a lot of mail in there.
Now, of course, who it belonged to---we don't know if it belonged to him or not, but he did press the night buzzer. There was a little hole there where you get the night clerk, and he asked the night clerk who--I think it was 1762 or something like that. I just don't remember the number.
He asked him who it is. The night man says, "I can't give you any information. Any information you want there is only one man can give it to you and that is the postmaster of Dallas."

Mr. Hubert.

Did Ruby make a reply to that?

Mr. Senator.

Not to my knowledge. You mean to him?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes; to the clerk. Did he say anything more?

Mr. Senator.

No; if I am not mistaken, I think he said "How do you get to the postmaster" or something of that nature. I am not sure now.

Mr. Hubert.

Was he annoyed with the clerk?

Mr. Senator.

No; he wasn't annoyed with the clerk, but he was deeply annoyed with the ad, with both ads.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he indicate to you how checking the box at the post office would assist him in whatever he had in mind?

Mr. Senator.

He wanted to know; he had also said that he had checked the telephone directory and couldn't find this Bernard Weissman, who supposedly put an ad like this here, and couldn't have been local because he looked to see if there was a Bernard Weissman in the Dallas telephone book.

Mr. Hubert.

You didn't see him look it up. He merely told you that?

Mr. Senator.

He merely told me that. I didn't see him look it up.

Mr. Hubert.

Did Larry Crafard go with you to the post office?

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he stay in the automobile, or come to the post office with you?

Mr. Senator.

I believe he came into the post office; I have to guess on this. I am not sure, but I think he came into the post office.

Mr. Hubert.

All right.

Mr. Senator.

Then from there we went to the Southland Hotel coffeeshop.

Mr. Hubert.

Where is that located?

Mr. Senator.

That is on the corner, on Commerce, and I don't know what the little side street is, but it is just below the Adolphus Hotel on Commerce Street. I don't know what the side street is.

Mr. Hubert.

Who went?

Mr. Senator.

Jack, Larry, and myself.

Mr. Hubert.

How long did you stay there?

Mr. Senator.

I would assume we stayed there--- maybe about 15 minutes would be a rough guess.
