Mr. Mcmillon.

knew or had been told, but it seemed to me like Hall was running a background information, background check. His questioning seemed to be along that line.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall Hall asking Ruby how he got down the ramp?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I don't recall.

Mr. Griffin.

Or how Ruby got in the basement?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I don't recall Hall asking him that.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me say this. If you had heard this and Ruby gave information to Hall that you say was different from what you say you heard Dean get out of Ruby, you would have brought that to Hall's attention, wouldn't you?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I probably would have, had I heard it.

Mr. Griffin.

If you had heard him say something different, you would have brought it to his attention?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I am sure that I would.

Mr. Griffin.

In fact, any police officer would have done that, don't you think so?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes; I think so.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, isn't it true that, as late as---well, strike this--did you sign the typed copy, the original typed copy of Exhibit 5018?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Did I sign it?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

So you saw that original typed copy after it had been typed?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, on November 27 or----

Mr. Mcmillon.

Let's back up just a second. You said did I sign the original typed copy?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Mcmillon.

I am sure that I did. I thought you were referring to the original handwritten, the one that I had written out in hand.

Mr. Griffin.

No.

Mr. Mcmillon.

I am pretty sure that I signed it.

Mr. Griffin.

It indicates that.

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you read it over before you signed it?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Oh, sure.

Mr. Griffin.

At the time that you signed that report, did you know that there was an investigation being conducted in the police department as to how Ruby got into the basement?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Sure did. I had already been interviewed by the FBI when I signed this departmental report.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, if--and did you feel that the information, which you say that you got, that you heard Ruby give Dean, did you feel on November 27 that that was important information?

Mr. Mcmillon.

What was that again, sir?

Mr. Griffin.

I believe you stated before that you heard Ruby tell Dean that he came down the ramp?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes, I heard Jack say that he came down the ramp.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Now, at the time that you signed this report on November the 27th, did you realize that such a statement from Ruby was a matter of-concern to the police department?

Mr. Mcmillon.

At the time that I signed those reports was just like all of the rest of them. I realized that anything that I might know or that I can remember might be of some value or of some significance to anybody who was investigating it.

Mr. Griffin.

You certainly knew that any statement that Ruby made about how he got down into that basement would be something that somebody might want to know?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

You read that report over?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

And there is nothing in that report about Ruby having made such a statement, is there?
