Mr. Hubert.

Are you familiar with the famous Weissman ad that appeared in the Dallas Morning News the day the President came to town--a full page ad?

Mr. Pryor.

I'm familiar with the ad, but I couldn't tell you any of the contents, because we had it up on our bulletin board.

Mr. Hubert.

What I want to ask you simply is this: Whether or not Jack Ruby mentioned to you anything concerning that ad during the 15 minutes you spoke to him about 4 o'clock on November 23?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir; not that I remember.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he mention the Birch Society?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Are you familiar with what the Birch Society is?

Mr. Pryor.

I've heard the name. I couldn't tell you one thing about their organization.

Mr. Hubert.

You did not speak with Jack Ruby about it nor he with you?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did Ruby seem to link Oswald with any group such as the Weissman ad or the John Birch Society ?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir--I mean--to my recollection there was never any mention of those.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he tell you that he had been to station KLIF and brought sandwiches there too?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir; not that evening.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he mention to you that he had secured a telephonic interview of Henry Wade for Glenn Duncan of station KLIF?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

What was his general attitude towards the assassination of President Kennedy?

Mr. Pryor.

He was real concerned. Now, this--I remember--he was very much concerned with the fact that, I believe his words were, "Poor Mrs. Kennedy--Jackie and the kids"--the fact that they had lost a husband and father and it was definitely--he was emotional about that.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he comment upon what effect or did you have any conversation with him about what effect the assassination might have on business in general in Dallas and in particular, the convention business, upon which his own business depended so heavily ?

Mr. Pryor.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he seem concerned about how this event might affect his livelihood?

Mr. Pryor.

Not that I recall, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, you say that he did seem concerned about the matter from the standpoint of President Kennedy's wife and children, was there any other basis of concern that you could discern from his conversation with you?

Mr. Pryor.

No. I'm--I'm trying to think as to what all took place within the length of time that I talked with him, and he was basicallY, emotionally upset over the thing.

Mr. Hubert.

What physical manifestation did he give of being emotionally upset?

Mr. Pryor.

Shaking the newspaper--I guess is about it.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he seem to be angry or talk in a different way or look in

a different way or act in any different way than normal?'

Mr. Pryor.

Not with any great degree that I could tell.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he seem to be excessively sorrowful about this?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes--like I say--he did seem real concerned over the fact that the President had been killed, and I think all of us at that time, as well as now--it was-there was a sorrow, and Jack being the emotional type of person that he was, was possibly a little more demonstrative of it. In other words, he would demonstrate and express his emotions more than the average person, I feel.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, your thought is then that his expression of sorrow and so forth and his reaction was somewhat more than the average, at least, as manifested?

Mr. Pryor.

Yes, sir.
