Mr. Lane.

secondly, obviously the death of the accused, which I know is a matter for the Commission's inquiry already.

Mr. Rhyne.

I notice that you said your investigation was incomplete. So I just wanted to be sure that I understood what you meant with respect to this 48-hour detention period.

Mr. Lane.

No; I have no knowledge over and above that that I could give you in that area. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Murray, do you have any questions you would like to ask?

Mr. Murray.

No; I have none, Mr. Chief Justice, at this time.

The Chairman.

Well, Mr. Lane, if any evidence should come to your attention in the future, would you be willing to convey the information to the Commission?

Mr. Lane.

Yes; I certainly would, sir.

The Chairman.

We will appreciate it if you would. Thank you far your attendance.
We will adjourn at this time.
(Whereupon, at 5:35 p.m., the President's Commission adjourned, and reconvened in executive session.)

Testimony of

The Chairman.

The session will be in order.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you proceed, Mr. Lane, in executive session now, to describe the names?

Mr. Lane.

The third name that I was informed--the person that I was informed was there, the third person, is named Jack Ruby. It was my feeling, of course, while his case was pending it would not be proper to comment on that in the presence of the press.

Mr. Rankin.

You mean the third person in the group apparently conferring?

Mr. Lane.

Yes. Tippit, Weissman, and Ruby.

The Chairman.

Have you made any public statement of this kind before on this subject--about this meeting?

Mr. Lane.

Not about Ruby--about a meeting between Weissman and Tippit, yes.

The Chairman.

But you never named Ruby publicly?

Mr. Lane.

No; I have not. I shall not.

The Chairman.

I see. Do you know any way by which we might corroborate that meeting--the fact that it was held?

Mr. Lane.

I am going this evening to see, or tomorrow--I will try this evening first--to see if I can secure permission by my informant to reveal his and I hope he will be willing to come forward and testify as to what took place.

The Chairman.

The Commission would like to know it, if you can do that.

Mr. Lane.

Yes; I shall inform you as soon as I discover that. I would like very much for the Commission to have that information. Can I indicate to my informant that the matter can be so raised so that his name will not be known to anyone other than the Commission?

The Chairman.

Yes, sir; you may.

Mr. Lane.

That will be extremely helpful.

The Chairman.

If you can think of any way that can be corroborated, it would be most helpful to us.

Mr. Lane.

I understand.

The Chairman.

Congressman, you just got in as we are about to adjourn. Mr. Lane was telling us of one piece of information that he had concerning a meeting that was held at the Carousel Nightclub, about a week, did you say--

Mr. Lane.

Yes.

The Chairman.

About a week before the assassination, at which the man who financed this full-page article in the paper, Dallas paper, this morning, concerning
