Mr. Ruby.

Yes; I'm very much relaxed because I have nothing--I'm not sparring with it, so I must be relaxed.

Mr. Herndon.

Very fine. I appreciate your cooperation very much and you are cooperating with me very well.
In a moment, you can move your hand a little bit to get a little circulation. You probably felt just a little tingling sensation?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes; I felt a little bit of throbbing in these two fingers.

Mr. Herndon.

Are they too tight?

Mr. Ruby.

No; that's fine.

Mr. Herndon.

I can relax this a little bit on your arm. I just, want it close enough so that they won't slip, just about like that. I don't want this to cause you any discomfort to you. Now, if you are about ready?

Mr. Ruby.

I am ready.

Mr. Herndon.

You remember, I'm going to ask you just the questions that we discussed before and that's all.

Mr. Ruby.

You mean that's all?

Mr. Herndon.

Oh, no; this is just series 1, Mr. Ruby. We're going to cover many questions.

Mr. Ruby.

All right.

Mr. Herndon.

I'm going to go rather deliberately slow on this first one until you become acquainted with the procedure.

Mr. Ruby.

Believe me, I know the answers, so you can ask me as fast as you like.

Mr. Herndon.

During the test, again, if you will keep your feet on the floor at all times, flat on the floor at all times, and try not to move. I know it's hard to sit perfectly still for the 3 to 4 minutes, but it is to your advantage to try to keep from moving. If you have to cough or move, I'll probably observe it and take it into consideration.
During the examination, Mr. Ruby, I know we have other people in the room, but I would appreciate it if you would just try to concentrate as if there were just you and me in here and these questions are coming out and if you know the answer in your own mind, I want you to truthfully answer them "Yes" or "No." Do not give any qualifying statement or additional comments.

Mr. Ruby.

All right.

Mr. Herndon.

On the other hand, if I come to one of these questions that you're not sure whether you want to say "Yes" or "No," there is some area in doubt, just don't say anything and we'll go back and discuss it later.

Mr. Ruby.

Okay.

Mr. Herndon.

If you will, look right over here, look straight ahead at the wall and relax, and hear my question and give your answer to it, "Yes" or "No."

Mr. Ruby.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Herndon.

I will tell you when I am going to begin. I will tell you when this particular test is over, but do not relax or move until I give you the word.

Mr. Ruby.

Very well.

Mr. Herndon.

As I say, you will hear a little scratching noise and I will be marking the paper as we proceed.

Mr. Ruby.

Can I speak?

Mr. Herndon.

Right now if you want to; yes, sir.

Mr. Ruby.

Fowler, I beg you to get Bill Alexander and Joe Tonahill back in here. I tell you. Will you do it, please.

Mr. Fowler.

Jack, let's go on just like it is now. I don't want you to have any apprehensions that we're trying to keep anybody out.

Mr. Ruby.

All right.

Mr. Herndon.

It's taking me about a minute to get the instrument warmed up again here.
All right, I will now put a little pressure on that arm, Mr. Ruby, and I will let you know when I'm going to begin. Once again, just answer the questions truthfully, "Yes" or "No."
(Reporter's note: 3:10 p.m.)

Mr. Herndon.

The test will now begin.
