Mr. Griffin.

Were there any acquaintances that you had in Dallas while you were there, who you in the past had mistaken for Jack Ruby? Have you ever had the experience of seeing somebody else and mistaking him for Jack Ruby?

Mr. Kantor.

I see what you mean. No; that never occurred at any time.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you know people in Dallas who ran some of the other nightclubs?

Mr. Kantor.

I had met Mr. Barney Weinstein who operates at least a couple of strip joints that I know of, and that was on one occasion when I was doing a story on a stripteaser named Candy Barr and that occasion was when I was going down to the State prison where she was living at the time to do a story on her for the paper and that was the only time I had met Mr. Weinstein.
However, there is a booking agent in Dallas whose nickname is Pappy, I have his name in my notes here somewhere.

Mr. Griffin.

Is that Pappy Dolson?

Mr. Kantor.

D-o-l-s-o-n, that is right. I had done a story on him, and he was well acquainted with Jack Ruby, I knew, and then I saw him while I remained in Dallas after the assassination, spoke to him and interviewed him for a story.

Mr. Griffin.

Do either Weinstein or Dolson bear any resemblance to Jack Ruby?

Mr. Kantor.

None. None, nothing that close that I would mistake them. Neither one, I don't believe, either, would stop me in the passageway of the hospital after I had been gone for a year and a half and call me by my first name, I don't think they would remember me that easily or have any special reason to call me by my first name.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, you have brought a series of papers and notebooks with you. Can you work from these one at a time, can you tell us what you have there?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes. Initially, I have the notebook I took down with me to Texas from Washington while accompanying the President, and in it are the notes of the trip.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me look at it a second.

Mr. Kantor.

Sure, I was just going to recommend you skip the first page. Those were notes I made on the plane going down. From then on anything you want to look at is fine.

Mr. Griffin.

The notebook that you handed me is a notebook that is a long stenographic type notebook. I would say it is 8 inches long and perhaps 3 to 4 inches wide.

Mr. Kantor.

It sounds reasonable, yes.

Mr. Griffin.

And it has the label "EFF-JAY Notebook" and it is put out by Fox-Jones Co., Washington 5, D.C., and No. 1419 and there is handwritten on the front of this in pencil "President Kennedy's Trip to Texas, November 21-22, 1963."
Does anything in this notebook pertain to your activities at Parkland Hospital?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes; several pages in there.

Mr. Griffin.

Could you indicate, can you find in here the pages that pertain to that Parkland Hospital episode?

Mr. Kantor.

I am going to have to apologize for the writing here. Among other things in addition to being a bad scribbler I did much of this on the run, these pages.

Mr. Griffin.

If you don't mind I would like to look at them and see again if I can ask some questions from them. Do the notes on the pages which you have separated here follow in chronological order? Is there any way you can tell from looking at these notes when, what time you would have put it down?

Mr. Kantor.

Pretty well.

Mr. Griffin.

Can you?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Can you tell us what portion of those notes you made before the actual press conference with Malcolm Kilduff, if any.

Mr. Kantor.

On this page there are written some idle notes as we moved from Love Field into the downtown area.

Mr. Griffin.

I am talking about notes made at Parkland Hospital.
