Mr. Hubert.

for identification on the right-hand margin as follows: "Dallas, Texas, June 27, 1964, Exhibit No. I in the deposition of Robert Norton," and I have signed my name below it. It consists of about a third of one page. I would like you to read that and tell me afterwards whether or not you recollect the interView and whether that's a fair report of that interview.

Mr. Norton.

This is what I said and I also called Tuesday and reported to the FBI the fact that I had seen him at 12 o'clock and I asked him if they wanted me to come-down and the man on the phone said I could just give him a statement over the phone. This was right after the President was buried.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, this report

Mr. Norton.

This is the second report that I made. I phoned in.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, did you ever have a person-to-person interview?

Mr. Norton.

Yes; this gentleman here was in the club.

Mr. Hubert.

That was on Tuesday, November 26, and you had telephoned

the information to the FBI previous to that ?

Mr. Norton.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And then did they come out on the same day and interview you?

Mr. Norton.

No; it was later. I wasn't personally interviewed until later.
I don't remember just how long but it was sometime after I phoned in.

Mr. Hubert.

But you did phone in on Tuesday ?

Mr. Norton.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Hubert.

Why did you phone in?

Mr. Norton.

Well, I just thought I should.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you thought that you had some information about his movements?

Mr. Norton.

That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

And that therefore you should report it and you did do so?

Mr. Norton.

That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

How well did you know Ruby ?

Mr. Norton.

Not well at all. I knew him strictly in a business manner and association. Occasionally, like I say, he would drop over to the place. We had a club association started in Dallas and I was president of that and I knew a number of different club operators and knew him through this means. I on occasion have been in his place, but I didn't frequent it. It wasn't that I disapproved but I just didn't care for his operation, which I never had any reason to go there other than just to visit once in a while to say "Hello".

Mr. Hubert.

You've known him, you say, about 8 or 10 years?

Mr. Norton.

No; I've known him about 5. I was in the business about 2 years before I ever met him.

Mr. Hubert.

There was no social relationship between you ?

Mr. Norton.

None whatsoever. I have some friends who went to his club.

Mr. Hubert.

You didn't visit with him in his home?

Mr. Norton.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Would you say you saw him three or four times a year or more or less?

Mr. Norton.

Possibly after I met him--yes.

Mr. Hubert.

And it would be either at his club or he dropped in at your club?

Mr. NORTON. That's right.
Mr. HUBERT. Or one of the meetings of the association?
Mr. NORTON. That's right.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you say in this statement which has been identified as Exhibit No. 1 that
Ruby came in about midnight on the 23rd. Now, was that Saturday ?
Mr. NORTON. It was a Saturday.
Mr. HUBERT. Was it about midnight?
Mr. NORTON. It was about midnight.
Mr. HUBERT. How do you fix that?
Mr. NORTON. How do I fix the time?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
