(Testimony of Dave L. Miller)
Mr. Miller.
I haven't said anything to him.
Mr. Griffin.
Doesn't your brother--isn't there another Miller? Is that your brother?
Mr. Miller.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Izzie Miller, have you talked to him? Does he remember?
Mr. Miller.
He doesn't stay around too much at the place down there.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know whether he was present on these two occasions?
Mr. Miller.
No, he wasn't there them two times; no, sir. He had had a heart attack, and he takes it easy, so he won't come down too much.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you think any of the other employees besides Sam Hicks might have seen Jack on that occasion?
Mr. Miller.
Well, you know them shine boys, they come and go, and I would have to go back and look in my book I keep on them as to who was working at that time.
Offhand, I couldn't say. But I know Sam Hicks was working at that time.
Mr. Griffin.
The FBI report of the interview that they had with you sometime ago indicates that Jack wrote you a letter while he was in jail and mentioned both Sam Hicks and another one of your shoe shine boys, Dwayne Armstrong. Dwayne Armstrong is a brother of the boy that used to work for Jack Ruby, isn't he?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Was Dwayne working there at the time; November 22 and November 23?
Mr. Miller.
I couldn't really say. I would have to look it up. I wouldn't want to say yes, and I wouldn't want to say no. I wouldn't remember.
Mr. Griffin.
Is Dwayne still working for you now?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
I am going to mark for the purpose of identification a copy of an interview report that was prepared by FBI agent, Edmond C. Hardin as a result of talking with you on January 3, 1964. I am going to mark it, "Dave L. Miller, deposition of July 25, 1964, Exhibit No. 1."
This document consists of two pages numbered consecutively at the bottom pages 37 and 38, and I will hand it to you and ask you to read it, and then what I would like to know is whether that accurately reflects what you told the FBI on that occasion, and also if you have any changes that you would make in that?
[Mr. Miller reads report.]
Mr. Miller.
I told you about 5:30. There is only one thing I noticed there.
He says, "Ruby appeared in Miller's place of business at 5:30 on November 23" when he dropped in and asked me not to display the sign of the Carousel Club.
He had done that on the 22d.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember that he also did it on the 23d?
Mr. Miller.
I don't remember whether he did it on the 23d, but I definitely know it was on the 22d,
Of course, I might have made a mistake and told him the 23d, but I definitely know the 22d.
Mr. Griffin.
Have you seen Jack Ruby in any fights?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Has Jack ever talked to you about any of his sensitivity, the things that he objects to, or any of his personal ideas?
Mr. Miller.
No, he never said anything.
Mr. Griffin.
Is there anything else that you can think of that you know about
Jack Ruby that you would want to tell us that we haven't covered?
Mr. Miller.
The only thing I know was, he was a darn good customer to me, and he was very good to all the boys around there.
In fact, I was sick in the hospital and he come to see me one night. And he would always ask how I was getting along, and even called the hospital how I was getting along.
So, it was surprising to me that he would do anything like that.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember any other kindnesses that he bestowed on people?
