(Testimony of Ralph Paul)

Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever have any conversation with Ruby where told you him, "I don't do such a crazy thing"?
Mr. Paul.
Do I remember the conversation ?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes?
Mr. Paul.
I never told him that.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall on Sunday morning having made any statement to anybody concerning a conversation which you had had with Ruby in which Ruby had made some threats about Oswald and talked about a gun and you had told him not to be crazy and not to do such a thing, and so forth ? .
Mr. Paul.
Now, the man never asked me about it--how could I have told him about it?
Mr. Hubert.
Well, as I understand your answer, you never did make such a statement?
Mr. Paul.
That's fight.
Mr. Hubert.
And as I further understand your answer, he never to you any such thing at all ?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
The records show that you spoke to him again at 11:18 p.m., that's at night?
Mr. Paul.
That's the time that's what I told you. That's the last time I talked to him.
Mr. Hubert.
That shows that there were two phone calls?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
One at 10:44?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
That one lasted about 9 minutes ?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
And the second one at 11:18, or about a half hour afterwards, roughly?
Mr. Paul.
Yeah.
Mr. Hubert.
And that one lasted 1 minute?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.I told him I was sick and I was going to bed and not to call me.
Mr. Hubert.
And he called you at your house a little later, didn't he?
Mr. Paul.
Both times at the house. That's the last two calls.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, he called you twice at the Bull Pen ?
Mr. Paul.
Yeah; the second time he called, they told him I went home.
Mr. Hubert.
And then he called you at your house?
Mr. Hubert.
And he spoke to you 3 minutes, and that's when you told him you were sick ?
Mr. Paul.
The last time---when you said the minute--that's when I told him I was sick.
Mr. Hubert.
At 11:36?
Mr. Paul.
I guess so--I guess that was the last time I didn't watch the clock. Mr. HUBERT. Did he call you after that?
Mr. Paul.
No, Sir.
Mr. Hubert.
How many calls did you get at home from him ?
Mr. Paul.
Two.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, the records seem to indicate three----one at 11:19 which lasted 3 minutes, and another one 15 minutes later, at 11:36, which was for 2 minutes. The records also show that at 11:18 he called you for I minute. He called you for I minute at the Bull Pen and that's when they probably told him you had gone home, so he immediately placed a call I minute later, you see, and spoke to you at your home for 3 minutes, and then 15 minutes later he called you again, and you spoke to him for 2 minutes, and then at 11:47 he called again and spoke to you for I minute. Do you remember the third call ?
Mr. Paul.
If he called, I must have been asleep, because I don't know that he called the third time.
