Mr. Ruby.

"Yes."

Mr. Herndon.

"Have you now told us the truth concerning why you carried $2,200 in cash on you?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did any foreign influence cause you to shoot Oswald?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you shoot Oswald because of any influence of the underworld?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

I'm going to stop here a moment, sir, and release the pressure on your arm and you just relax for a moment. Then I shall begin again in a moment.

Mr. Ruby.

Okay.
(Reporter's note: 8:15 p.m.)

Mr. Herndon.

Just relax, Mr. Ruby.
Does your arm feel all right?

Mr. Ruby.

Fine I'm all right.

Mr. Herndon.

I will continue this next series of questions and it will be listed as series 9a.
(Reporter's note: 8:17 p.m.)

Mr. Herndon.

We will begin again.
"Did you shoot Oswald because of a labor union influence?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did any long-distance telephone calls which you made before the assassination of the President have anything to do with the assassination?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did any of your long-distance telephone calls concern the shooting of Oswald?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you shoot Oswald in order to save Mrs. Kennedy the ordeal of a trial?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you know the Tippit that was killed?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you tell the truth about relaying the message to Ray Brantley to get McWillie a few guns?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you go to the assembly room on Friday night to get the telephone number of KLIF?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes."

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you ever meet with Oswald and Officer Tippit at your club?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No."

Mr. Herndon.

That completes that series. I will release that pressure and you can now relax.
(Reporter's note: 8:20 p.m.)

Mr. Herndon.

You seem to be relaxed and feeling fine.

Mr. Specter.

Are you ready, Mr. Herndon?

Mr. Herndon.

Yes; that completes that series.

Mr. Specter.

Mr. Tonahill and Mr. Alexander have returned to the room.

Mr. Herndon.

Shall I go right into the next series?

Mr. Specter.

Go right into the series. We just did series 9 and 9a, and we are now going to series 10.

Mr. Herndon.

Yes; we just have a few more questions.

Mr. Ruby.

That's wonderful, except there are a few things that I think you've left out.

Mr. Specter.

Yes, Mr. Ruby. If you have additional questions you want asked, we will do our best to cover anything additional when we finish.

Mr. Herndon.

Here are the next questions which I would like to ask you, Mr. Ruby, on the next series. Again, I want to make sure that you understand each and every one of them.
"Were you at the Parkland Hospital at any time on Friday?"
