Mr. Hubert.

How long were you employed by Ruby altogether?

Mrs. Rich.

Probably a couple of months.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you work with Ruby after your husband joined you?

Mrs. Rich.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you work until you left Dallas?

Mrs. Rich.

No; I did not.

Mr. Hubert.

How long before leaving Dallas did you quit the job at Ruby's?

Mrs. Rich.

Possibly a couple of months, 3 months. I wasn't in Dallas more than maybe 5 months, 4 months at the most, 4 or 5 months at the most.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, when you say bartender, what do you mean? What were your actual duties?

Mrs. Rich.

I was actually a bartender. I worked behind the bar mixing and serving drinks.

Mr. Hubert.

What sort of drinks?

Mrs. Rich.

Whatever was allowed. Actually, you are not allowed to serve mixed drinks there. We do to special customers. You are not allowed to serve hard liquor. But I served beer, and wine, of course, and your setups.

Mr. Hubert.

What customers did you-serve hard liquor to?

Mrs. Rich.

Whomever I was told to.

Mr. Hubert.

You don't know their names?

Mrs. Rich.

I couldn't quote you names, perhaps.

Mr. Hubert.

Who told you to serve them?

Mrs. Rich.

Mr. Ruby. It was a standing order. For a particular group of people. Then whenever he would come in and say, "This is private stock stuff," that would mean for me to go where I knew the hard liquor was and get it out, and get it ready for the people in his private office.

Mr. Hubert.

What was the particular group--who did it consist of?

Mrs. Rich.

The police department.

Mr. Hubert.

Are you saying that Jack Ruby told you that when any member of the police department came in, that there was a standing order that you could serve them hard liquor?

Mrs. Rich.

That is correct.

Mr. Hubert.

And are you also saying that you did so?

Mrs. Rich.

I am saying that I needed a job and did so.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you remember the names of any particular officers to whom you served hard liquor?

Mrs. Rich.

House, Rayburn----

Mr. Hubert.

Let's see if we can get some first names.

Mrs. Rich.

I don't remember what House's first name was, but it was Paul Rayburn, and Detective something House they were partners. They worked as a team, juvenile. And the rest were just faces and uniforms.

Mr. Hubert.

How would you know them?

Mrs. Rich.

At that time, I knew them.

Mr. Hubert.

You knew them to be police?

Mrs. Rich.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Did they pay?

Mrs. Rich.

Oh, no; of course not.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that an order, too, from Mr. Ruby?

Mrs. Rich.

That was. Unless they came in in the evening with their wives. Then, of course, they paid. But then again, they didn't have hard liquor, either, at that time. This is when they came in, by themselves, I was to go get the private stock, as he called it, special stock. They were served whatever they wanted on the house.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that widespread?

Mrs. Rich.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by widespread.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, you have mentioned two names, and then said there were others whose names you don't remember.

Mrs. Rich.

Well, the only reason I remember House and Rayburn is because they were personal friends of mine.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, how many others do you suppose you served?

Mrs. Rich.

I couldn't estimate. I couldn't give you a true and accurate figure. Anyone that came in from the police department. Including certain attorneys in
