(Testimony of Roy A. Pryor)
Mr. Hubert.
Lavern Crafard?
Mr. Pryor.
No; I can vaguely identify him--it seemed like he had brown
wavy hair, and he was shorter than I am and he would be about 5'7", I'd say.
Mr. Hubert.
And what age about?
Mr. Pryor.
In his early thirties I would say.
Mr. Hubert.
How was he dressed?
Mr. Pryor.
To the best of my recollection he was in a business suit.
Mr. Hubert.
How do you know that they were together?
Mr. Pryor.
Jack introduced me and we talked in the lobby of radio station KLIF and then we walked down and stood in front of the station.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean--outside?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
On the street?
Mr. Pryor.
Or on the sidewalk, and Lorie he's the station manager for KLIF--Al Lorie.
Mr. Hubert.
How do you spell that ?
Mr. Pryor.
Al [spelling] L-o-r-i-e, I believe it is. I had been in talking with Al and Jack Ruby was sitting in the copyreader's office--- I know those guys but I can't recall their names--he was in the office of the man that takes care of the copy.
Mr. Hubert.
Had he finished his business at the time you met him?
Mr. Pryor.
When I walked in to see Mr. Lorie, the door was open into Bob's office and Jack was sitting there and I Just waved at him and went on in to see Al, and so when I came out Jack was sitting there.
Mr. Hubert.
He was still sitting at the same place?
Mr. Pryor.
No; he came
Mr. Hubert.
So, apparently while you were conducting your business, he was conducting his?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
And you both left together
Mr. Pryor.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know who he saw then ? There ?
Mr. Pryor.
The copywriter he was talking to--his name is Bob Clayton.
Mr. Hubert.
Bob Clayton?
Mr. Pryor.
Right; I should have remembered it, but I'm one of the worst on names.
Mr. Hubert.
And you left him on the street?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes
Mr. Hubert.
And the next time you saw him was on the morning of the 23d?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, normally your shift would have been over at 2 o'clock?
Mr. Pryor.
At 2 o'clock; yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You state in your interview with the FBI, Exhibit No. 1, that you saw him at about 4 o'clock?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Can you toll us how you fix that time?
Mr. Pryor.
Well, I had 2 hours overtime, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean that you worked 2 hours overtime that day?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you were about to leave?
Mr. Pryor.
I had already signed my work ticket and was preparing to leave the place.
Mr. Hubert.
So it is that fact which enables you to fix the time that you
saw Ruby at 4 o'clock?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he. Just coming in then
Mr. Pryor.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And it was precisely 2 hours after your regular time had finished?
Mr. Pryor.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
So there can be no doubt about it being 4 o'clock?
Mr. Pryor.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did he stay?
