Mr. Meyers.

I know the sign you are talking about. I have no recollection of him ever mentioning this.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you have any recollection of his mentioning to you an advertisement that appeared in the Dallas Morning News on November 22 which addressed to a series of questions to President Kennedy with a black-bordered advertisement and bore the name of Bernard Weissman ?

Mr. Meyers.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you have any recollection of that?

Mr. Meyers.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he mention to you any theories that he had about the assassination?
(Mr. Meyers shook his head in the negative.)

Mr. Meyers.

We didn't

Mr. Griffin.

You will have to answer no. You have to give an audible response.

Mr. Meyers.

I am sorry. I keep forgetting this. No; he never discussed any of these things with me. As a matter of fact, we never discussed the assassination other than his misery when he called me Saturday night. Now, obviously it would be said, what a terrible thing, you know, this type of thing.

Mr. Griffin.

When he mentioned to you that his competitors were open, did he indicate how he knew they were open ?

Mr. Meyers.

No. I would assume he went by and saw them open.

Mr. Griffin.

But do you recall, have any specific recollection of his saying that?

Mr. Meyers.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you have any recollection of his having said that he visited at all that night?

Mr. Meyers.

Didn't mention it.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he mention to you that he had seen Lee Oswald the night

Mr. Meyers.

No. Didn't even mention Lee Oswald.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, when you talked with the FBI on December 3, the FBI has quoted you as saying that one of the things that Ruby told you in the conversation was "I have got to do something about this." Do you remember that---

Mr. Meyers.

Definitely.

Mr. Griffin.

That statement?

Mr. Meyers.

Definitely.

Mr. Griffin.

Tell us how that--in what context this came up.

Mr. Meyers.

Well, this again is---you see, this, of course, is my interpretation of this. When he was talking to me on the telephone and he said these poor people you mentioned this and it all comes back to me I have got to do something about this. I thought he was talking about his competitors being open on Saturday night because this was the basis of his conversation with me all along and that he was going to do something about them staying open on Saturday night in defiance or--I shouldn't say in defiance out of nonrespect for the assassination, or for the memory of the President, or anything like this.
Also, I suppose, unfortunately, religion has to come into this thing, although, good lord, I wish it didn't. Also the fact that Jack obviously is Jewish, so am I, and so were his two competitors, and Jack is--I don't know how to word this---militantly Jewish. In other words, he is going to make an issue of this. He thought it was terrible that Jewish people should show such disrespect.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he specifically mention this Jewish aspect?

Mr. Meyers.

He didn't specifically mention it but, Mr. Griffin, it is a difficult thing to say, but in my understanding of Jack, this is what I assumed he was talking about.

Mr. Griffin.

What was it that he said that led you to think he had some reference to the fact

Mr. Meyers.

Well, "these poor people, And wasn't it"--you see, you are putting words in my mouth now.
