(Testimony of )
Mr. Hubert.
Now, after Ruby was brought back upstairs, after having been in Fritz' office at least 1 hour, did you see him again that day?
Mr. Benton.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. Now, when this deposition has been transcribed, we would like to send you a copy so that you may read it and make what stylistic semantic corrections you think should be made without changing the meaning, and then there will be a place for you to sign and then you can return it. I will ask the stenographer to send the transcript to me here. I will make some of these changes myself and send it on to you.
Mr. Benton.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
At that time I will probably enclose a self-addressed and stamped envelope to the Commission in Washington so that you may send it on. Now, where will you be? I understand you are going to--
Mr. Benton.
San Francisco; tomorrow.
Mr. Hubert.
And you will be there until--
Mr. Benton.
I think until the 18th or 19th.
Mr. Hubert.
Could you tell me, Miss, when this will be in my hands?
The REPORTER. We normally have 2 weeks delivery. When would you need it?
Mr. Hubert.
Well, could you have it in my hands by Tuesday, the 14th?
The REPORTER. Yes, I'm sure I can.
Mr. Hubert.
Where will you be staying?
Mr. Benton.
I'll be staying at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco.
Mr. Hubert.
And you won't leave there until the 18th?
Mr. Benton.
That is the present plan.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, we'll try to send it out to you airmail special delivery on the 14th so it ought to get there on the 15th or 16th and perhaps you'll have a chance to look it over. In any case, send it on. I guess you will leave a forwarding address. Could you be reached at this New Orleans address we have?
Mr. Benton.
Well, my wife would know where I am. The St. Charles Avenue address.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; and the CBS local would know?
Mr. Benton.
Well, she would probably come closer to knowing than they would at CBS because quite often all of us are out of town.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, sir. Thank you very much.
