(Testimony of George Senator)

Mr. Senator.
fast, you know. I mean he can fly off pretty well. If somebody was hollering or out-of-line or pinch a girl which happens now and then while the girls are dancing he doesn't like this.
Mr. Hubert.
You said you remember two specific instances. Could you just tell us about those.
Mr. Senator.
I'll tell you one.
Mr. Hubert.
About where they happened and the time.
Mr. Senator.
I saw one happen, this was outside of the club, this one. Do you want it in the club or out of the club?
Mr. Hubert.
Any one.
Mr. Senator.
This was outside of the club.
Mr. Hubert.
When was it?
Mr. Senator.
Last year.
Mr. Hubert.
About what time last year?
Mr. Senator.
I would probably say it was sometime last summer.
Mr. Hubert.
The summer of 1963?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Tell us what happened.
Mr. Senator.
I was sitting in the Burgundy Room. You know where the Burgundy Room is?
Mr. Hubert.
The Adolphus Hotel.
Mr. Senator.
Yes; I was in there having a drink and I was sitting with this fellow here.
Mr. Hubert.
Who, what fellow?
Mr. Senator.
His name?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Senator.
Don Taber or Tabin.
Mr. Hubert.
T-a-b-e-r or T-a-b-i-n?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You were with that man?
Mr. Senator.
I was with him for a while but he shifted. He saw some girl and went over to tall to her.
Mr. Hubert.
So you were alone at the table?
Mr. Senator.
I was sitting there. I was sitting at another table and I assumed he come in looking for me to see what I was doing.
Mr. Hubert.
Who came in?
Mr. Senator.
Jack Ruby. Jack don't like to have me drink. He doesn't like to see me getting drunk. He thinks I'm always drunk all the while which I am not. And as he walled in through the door, this Don Taber was getting pretty well loaded. He had a few drinks in him, you know, and he has always had a grudge against Jack for some reason or other, I don't know what it was, and Jack was always telling him "Don, I want you to stay away from me" and I have heard him warn him once before by the club, downstairs from the club. Well, he used a pretty obscene word with him. I don't know if you want to take this down or not?
Mr. Hubert.
On the occasion in the Burgundy Room?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; you tell us what happened exactly.
Mr. Senator.
I think he told him to go "F" yourself.
Mr. Hubert.
Go what?
Mr. Senator.
Do you want me to use the word?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Senator.
He told him to go----himself.
Mr. Hubert.
Who told who?
Mr. Senator.
Don to Jack.
Mr. Hubert.
Told that to Jack?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; he is a type, he is a great guy when he is sober but when he isn't he is not easy to get along with you know.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean when Jack came in?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Taber or Tabin told him that?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
