Mr. Griffin.

Station break was coming?

Mr. Knight.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Excuse me; I'm trying to pinpoint the time here before you get into it. Is it a quarter-hour station break or hour?

Mr. Knight.

No; half-hour, on the hour.

Mr. Griffin.

This would have been approximately on the half-hour or hour when he called you?

Mr. Knight.

Approximately; yes.

Mr. Griffin.

You had already been there some time?

Mr. Knight.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

So it would have had, it couldn't have been before the 6:30 station break?

Mr. Knight.

Probably between the 7 and 8:30. But now I couldn't, I have no way, I couldn't even make, I'm not even going to make a statement of that.
I wouldn't even know because I forgot all about it right after I hung up.

Mr. Griffin.

You say probably because it seems to you a substantial amount of time had elapsed, or do you have some other particular reference?

Mr. Knight.

A 6-hour shift is a long shift to go on the air. It seems I'd been there listening to the music about an hour. It seems like I had just gotten into the shift. Not quite the halfway point. About a third into it when he called. I only remember two things. Once again, "Russ, you are a square guy." I don't know why he would say that. This is the way he talked. He seemed to be impressed by anybody who did something like in radio, movies, television, so forth and so on. He mentioned, he asked me one question. Again we only talked 20, 30 seconds because at the end of that 20, 30 seconds, I said, "Jack, I've got to go because" so forth and so on. I didn't particularly want to talk anyway. So he said, which seems to me now, and again this is just--I didn't recollect this until lately. I should have---he asked me who Earl Warren was, which seemed funny. You would think a man would know who Earl Warren was. But that was his question.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he say anything about having any photographs?

Mr. Knight.

No; not to me, although I did read in the paper later where it said that, but not to me personally. But I thought it was funny he asked me.

Mr. Griffin.

Was there any possibility that this telephone call could have been made to you at home rather than at the radio station?

Mr. Knight.

No; none whatsoever.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack call you on a private line of any sort, or did he have to go through a switchboard to get you?

Mr. Knight.

Well, no. Well, the switchboard would have been closed. We have two news lines which are supposed to be private but everybody knows them. Even kids call on them.

Mr. Griffin.

Was anybody at your home during--at that time?

Mr. Knight.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Could Jack have known you were at the radio station by reading the newspaper? Was your program listed?

Mr. Knight.

Yes. Well, everbody by being there 3 1/2 years everybody knew what time segment I had. I was the kid diskjockey, so to speak. I had the top rating and so forth.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you think Jack knew enough about your program so he knew you had arrived at the station?

Mr. Knight.

Yes; he listened.

Mr. Griffin.

Had he called you on other radio programs?

Mr. Knight.

Yes; as I say, when he has his commercials on he would call from time to time.

Mr. Griffin.

Was KLIF running commercials for Jack during this week that the President arrived and so forth?

Mr. Knight.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Had Jack advertised on the Saturday night shows?

Mr. Knight.

Yes; that was during that week 9 to 10 months prior.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you have any personal information that Jack listened to KLIF much more often that he listened to any other radio station?
