Mr. Ruby.

acts or omission, gross negligence, or commission shall not go unpunished or undisciplined.
I don't think that my brother, who had nothing to do with the assassination of the President, should be the only one punished. My family as well as myself have almost exhausted all of our resources in an effort to protect my brother's civil rights, but now I am calling upon you for the help we need.
That is it.

Mr. Hubert.

I suggest you put the document in the record as well.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you mind, Mr. Ruby, if we would put that in the record?

Mr. Ruby.

No; this I didn't use.

Mr. Griffin.

I will mark the three pages from what you have just read.

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

I have marked them "Earl Ruby Deposition, June 3, 1964, Exhibit No. 2," and that is on the first page. I think on the second page I will write Exhibit No. 2, and on the third page I will write Exhibit No. 2.
I will ask you if we may keep this and include this as part of our permanent record.

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me hand you Exhibit No. 2 and ask you if you will sign it on the first page and initial each of the other pages.
(Earl Ruby Exhibit No. 2 was marked for identification.)

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Ruby, may I ask, this is addressed to whom, this Exhibit No. 2, which you actually read into the record. Who are you addressing it to?

Mr. Ruby.

To the Commission.

Mr. Hubert.

To the Commission. It is your desire that we see that the members of the Commission receive that document, is that correct?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

That is to say both your letter and the attachment?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes; both.

Mr. Hubert.

I notice that Exhibit No. I which is the long one of 30 pages, has the name Sol Dann.

Mr. Ruby.

Sol Dann.

Mr. Hubert.

I also notice he didn't sign it. Did he actually prepare it?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes; he did.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you read it?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you concur in what he says then?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Is there any reason why he didn't sign it?

Mr. Ruby.

No; I didn't even notice it, to be honest with you.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me ask Mr. Ruby, I will hand him back Exhibit No. 1, and ask you if you will simply sign that on the first page, so we may have it properly marked for the record.

Mr. Hubert.

Let me ask you about Exhibit No. 2. This is in pencil?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes; I didn't think that you would want it so I, of course, didn't----

Mr. Hubert.

When did you write this Exhibit No. 2?

Mr. Ruby.

Yesterday.

Mr. Hubert.

It is your own handwriting?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes, yes.

Mr. Hubert.

All right.
I will have photostats made of this.

Mr. Ruby.

If it doesn't take, I can rewrite it in ink in 5 or 10 minutes.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me ask you some questions to get the background of this document which we have marked here as Exhibit No. 1.
First of all, would you tell us how you happened to know Mr. Dann?

Mr. Ruby.

His daughter teaches Hebrew in the school where my daughter attends, and his daughter impressed on him, after several conversations to contact me, and see what he could do to help us because he has been very active in helping I should say, the minority groups of any organization.

Mr. Griffin.

Can you tell us what Mr. Dann does for a living?

Mr. Ruby.

He is an attorney.

Mr. Griffin.

In Detroit?
