Mr. Senator.

It is a word I have used all my life, when I was even a kid. There was no particular reason. My boyfriends, some people may say "This is my acquaintance." It happens to be I have always used this word, no particular reason. Maybe I would probably say it was a habit more than anything else.

Mr. Griffin.

Now let me ask you this: You stated to us unequivocally you are not a homosexual.

Mr. Senator.

You can be assured, you can be assured. I will say that Georgie still loves women yet.

Mr. Griffin.

That is not necessarily inconsistent with being a homosexual, but I am not suggesting----

Mr. Senator.

But you heard my words, though, my words they are direct believe me. And I don't intend changing it. I may not be that strong, but I don't intend changing them. Of course, age is a benefactor.

Mr. Griffin.

You are talking about your affection for women?

Mr. Senator.

Yes; certainly. I still like the beauty of the female sex. Let me read the rest of this. Let me quote you something that Mr. Alexander had me at the first bond hearing--I can't help but think of it when I read this "boyfriend" and how many times that has been quoted. It has never been quoted me direct, but I have heard it hearsay, you know, things like that. At the. bond hearing, the first bond hearing, Mr. Alexander said to me:
"You and Jack Ruby lived together?" And I said, "Yes."
He says, "How many bedrooms in the apartment you live in?"
I said, "Two."
He says, "What are the other rooms?"
I says, "There is a bathroom, kitchen, and a living room."
Then he come Out with this live one, which I .grasped right away. This is what I call it.
"Where do you keep the TV?"
I didn't particularly like it, but I was on the witness stand.

Mr. Griffin.

What did you say?

Mr. Senator.

I said, "In the living room," where it is. But I caught the drift right away. And I wasn't happy about that because I couldn't open my mouth because I was on the witness stand.
Page 298. You got the drift of that, didn't you?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes;very clear.

Mr. Senator.

I can't quote the rest of it because he put it down there.

Mr. Griffin.

Go ahead, I am interested.

Mr. Senator.

In other words, what this means is Jack Ruby and I are in bed together, probably holding hands, or whatever it might be, watching TV. Is that easy?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Senator.

Isn't that logical?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Senator.

And I was pretty disturbed over this. How does he base something like this?

Mr. Griffin.

I take it he didn't follow it up in any way?

Mr. Senator.

Not the second time.

Mr. Griffin.

He didn't attempt to discredit your statement that it was kept in the living room?

Mr. Senator.

No. And when he didn't bring that up at all on the witness stand----

Mr. Griffin.

At the trial?

Mr. Senator.

At the trial. There is something here; I don't know what it means; the difference may be an hour or two, according to what time I came home that Friday night--he said between 9 and 10.

Mr. Griffin.

When do you think it was?

Mr. Senator.

I would say between 10 and 11.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me ask you here: What did you do from the time you heard that the President had been shot on Friday until you came home at, say 10 o'clock? Did you work the rest of that day?

Mr. Senator.

That was a black day; man, that was a sad day.
