Mr. Hubert.

You are willing to have your deposition taken?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you stand and I will administer the oath?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give in this matter

will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes; I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you state your name?

Mr. Pryor.

Roy Auburn Pryor [spelling] A-u-b-u-r-n.

Mr. Hubert.

Your age?

Mr. Pryor.

I'm 41.

Mr. Hubert.

Your address?

Mr. Pryor.

8544 Foxwood Lane. The address on the letter was to 2716 Mohave Drive, and since then I have moved.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you state that address again, please ?

Mr. Pryor.

8544 Foxwood Lane.

Mr. Hubert.

That's in Dallas?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

What is your occupation, Mr. Pryor?

Mr. Pryor.

I work as a printer in the composing room of the Dallas Times Herald.

Mr. Hubert.

How long have you been so occupied ?

Mr. Pryor.

Approximately 3 1/2 years.

Mr. Hubert.

Are you married ?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

What was your occupation prior to your association with the Dallas Times Herald?

Mr. Pryor.

It has been varied. I mean--I have done radio and television promotional advertising and have owned a small printshop of my own. I have worked as a salesman from selling Kirby vacuum cleaners to-and I have then worked as an emcee and a musician, and in comedy.

Mr. Hubert.

How long have you known Jack Ruby ?

Mr. Pryor.

Since about 1950, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And you met him in connection with his operation of nightclubs ?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

At that time you were in the entertainment business ?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I handed you when you first came into the room a document consisting of two pages, which I mark for identification as follows, in the right-hand margin: "Dallas, Tex., June 26, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, Deposition of Roy Pryor" and I have signed my name under it, and on the second page I have placed my initials in the lower right-hand corner. This document purports to be a report of an interview of you by FBI Agents Wilkinson and Hardin on December 9, 1963.
Now, have you read this document which I have marked as Exhibit No. 1 ?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you find that it correctly states your recollection of the inter-

view that was had of you by Agents Wilkison and Hardin ?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And there are no errors in it, I take it?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir I mean, the exact dates may vary to some degree. I don't recall exactly the basis of the entire thing is correct.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know whether it has been customary for Mr. Ruby to come up to the composing room of the Dallas Times Herald frequently to consult in regard to his ads?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

I take it that he's one of the few customers who does do so ?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir. Jack--when I knew him--now, his condition evidently has changed considerably due to the information that I get from the newspapers, has always been an impulsive sort of a person and it was the idea of being able to present his ad personally, and he liked to associate with people. So, consequently I feel that that was possibly the reason that he would come up to the composing room, and he is one of the very few that I can name that has ever
