(Testimony of Ralph Paul)
Mr. Paul.
I can't recall it--I can't think of her last name right offhand.
Mr. Hubert.
Her nickname was Bonnie?
Mr. Paul.
. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Would you have any payroll records that would show what her full name was?
Mr. Paul.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Are they still available?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Lee Berry?
Mr. Paul.
Lee Barrett?
Mr. Hubert.
Berry [spelling] B-e-r-r-y?
Mr. Paul.
Lee Berry--that's my sister.
Mr. Hubert.
Oh, it's a lady?
Mr. Paul.
. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
And did you call her Sunday morning just before 12 o'clock?
Mr. Paul.
Yes, sir; I call her every other Sunday.
Mr. Hubert.
Was that before you knew about Ruby shooting Oswald or afterwards?
Mr. Paul.
I think it was before. I'm not too sure, though. The difference in time, you see, I can't recall when I called her.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember speaking to Ruby on Sunday morning at all?
Mr. Paul.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you call his apartment ?
Mr. Paul.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Whom did you speak to ?
Mr. Paul.
Nobody.
Mr. Hubert.
There was no answer?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
What time was it?
Mr. Paul.
Right after the assassination of Oswald. I was telling Tammi I couldn't believe it. I said, "I'll call the house and I'll call you back."
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, she called you and told you it was Ruby and then you called Ruby and you got no answer?
Mr. Paul.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you told us before in a prior deposition that you had gone to see Tom Howard?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
On Sunday morning or rather Sunday afternoon right after the shooting?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
I think Tammi True took you there ?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, isn't it a fact that you thought that the Dallas police and the people investigating the whole thing might want to talk to you?
Mr. Paul.
I didn't have an inkling at that time whether they would or not. What I was thinking about was the press.
Mr. Hubert.
How do you mean ?
Mr. Paul.
Well, I came back to the place and the girl said, "Somebody from the press was looking for you."
Mr. Hubert.
Well, didn't it occur to you that the police might also want to interview you if the press did ?
Mr. Paul.
That day? Then and there that day?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Paul.
Well, I wasn't thinking about it at all.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, are you saying then that the reason why you went to the theater and so forth and weren't available was on account of the press?
Mr. Paul.
Yes; for the press.
Mr. Hubert.
And it was not on account of the police ?
Mr. Paul.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
But weren't you told at one time that the police and the FBI were looking for you?
Mr. Paul.
I was told the FBI was looking for me.
