(Testimony of Sidney , Jr. Evans)

Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Evans.
And so, then, it wasn't long before 1 o'clock Life Magazine, and--man, they was out there taking picture, and newspapers, and they were taking pictures of the apartment and interviewing different people there.
Mr. Hubert.
So, it was at that time that you told Mr. Slaughter that you thought you had seen Ruby that morning?
Mr. Evans.
Yes; I told him what happened there and the guy had went in that apartment there.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know his roommate, I think you mentioned something about a roommate?
Mr. Evans.
I understand the papers said there were two of them staying there.
Mr. Hubert.
But you don't know of your own knowledge?
Mr. Evans.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Had you ever seen the man who was supposed to be his roommate?
Mr. Evans.
In fact, we was not in there, and sleeping in the daytime mostly when we was there, so I really don't know anyone there.
Mr. Hubert.
Anyhow, this man that you saw, who you think might have been Ruby, you never had seen him before nor have you seen him after?
Mr. Evans.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
And your testimony is that this document identified as Exhibit 5122, looks like him?
Mr. Evans.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
But that he had on a T-shirt instead of a tie and the----
Mr. Evans.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Then did he have a hat on?
Mr. Evans.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see his hair?
Mr. Evans.
Well, it was kind of thin there down the middle. That looks a little darker than what I remembered. Seemed like he was sort of grayish.
Mr. Hubert.
How tall a man was he?
Mr. Evans.
He was a lot shorter than I was, five something.
Mr. Hubert.
How tall are you?
Mr. Evans.
Six.
Mr. Hubert.
You are 6 foot?
Mr. Evans.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You say 5 foot what?
Mr. Evans.
Five six or----
Mr. Hubert.
What sort of build?
Mr. Evans.
Stout and husky.
Mr. Hubert.
How--powerful looking man?
Mr. Evans.
Well----
Mr. Hubert.
Strong looking?
Mr. Evans.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you anything else that you know?
Mr. Evans.
That is all I know. Well, I know Slaughter told me that he's seen him dressed up not long after that.
Mr. Hubert.
Did I understand you to say that Mr. Slaughter made some comment about this man known as Jack Ruby----
Mr. Evans.
Well, they told me he did. I don't know whether he did or not.
Mr. Hubert.
What did he tell you?
Mr. Evans.
Said that he--not long after I had left and went back to church, he said a man had---dressed up, and walked by our apartment, and he spoke to him, or something, I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he say that he thought it was Ruby?
Mr. Evans.
They said they thought it was.
Mr. Hubert.
When did they say they had seen him?
Mr. Evans.
Well, if it was him it was somewhere right at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
When did he tell you that?
Mr. Evans.
After we got back, found out what happened.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, told you on that same day?
Mr. Evans.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
When you told him that you thought you had seen Ruby earlier
