Mr. Griffin.

Did you see him; did you get a full front face view of him?

Mr. Robertson.

No. He was in profile.

Mr. Griffin.

Where were you standing in relationship to the homicide door and the main elevator, public elevator?

Mr. Robertson.

I was standing almost immediately opposite Captain Fritz' door. Perhaps a matter of 2 feet beyond it toward the pressroom, which is opposite, the opposite direction of the elevators. As this happened, I stepped closer, and ultimately was on the elevator side of Captain Fritz' door about the middle of the hall.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you follow Ruby on down .the hall to see where he went?

Mr. Robertson.

No; I didn't.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you know how many feet he would have walked before he got out of sight?

Mr. Robertson.

No. He was out of my sight almost instantly in that melee.

Mr. Griffin.

So when you say he walked on down the hall, could it have been that he just walked a few feet and stopped?

Mr. Robertson.

It could have been; that's right.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you ever see him come back down the hall in the other direction?

Mr. Robertson.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did you remain at your position after you saw Ruby?

Mr. Robertson.

I have no idea. Considerable length of time.

Mr. Griffin.

What were you standing there for?

Mr. Robertson.

Trying to get a chance to talk to Bill Alexander.

Mr. Griffin.

Was Alexander inside Fritz' office at that time?

Mr. Robertson.

I wasn't certain whether he was at that time or not.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you subsequently find out he was in there?

Mr. Robertson.

I subsequently saw him.

Mr. Griffin.

Where did you see him?

Mr. Robertson.

I saw him coming out of Captain Fritz' office later. But now I have no idea how much later. I don't know whether he had gone in in the meantime, or not.

Mr. Griffin.

I take it that you may have walked away and come back?

Mr. Robertson.

That's right.

Mr. Griffin.

What made you think Alexander was inside Fritz' office?

Mr. Robertson.

Somebody had said so; I assume.

Mr. Griffin.

So that if we knew when Alexander was at the police station, we might have a more accurate estimate?

Mr. Robertson.

He was in and out several times throughout the evening. As a matter of fact, I saw him three or four times up until late in the evening.

Mr. Griffin.

At the time you saw Ruby, do you recall any of the other news representatives who were around there?

Mr. Robertson.

No. There was a whole hall full, and I recall some of the people who were in the hall, but not necessarily in connection with that particular instant.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, I believe that the first time you were interviewed by the FBI was on January 17, 1964. Do you recall being interviewed by an FBI agent by the name of Scott?

Mr. Robertson.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you happen to be interviewed?

Mr. Robertson.

I believe they called me and asked when I could be.

Mr. Griffin.

At that point, had they had any information that you had seen Ruby up there?

Mr. Robertson.

I don't know.

Mr. Griffin.

I believe that there did come a time after these events occurred that you made a radio tape recounting your experiences of the 3 days?

Mr. Robertson.

That's right.

Mr. Griffin.

When was that tape made? I don't ask for the exact date, but approximately.

Mr. Robertson.

I don't know. At the time this question arose and the mission asked the FBI if they would look into it further, Agent Drain tacted us and we tried to recall at that time precisely when the tape had been
