(Testimony of George Senator Resumed)

Mr. Senator.
It was, you know, what happened from the time of the shooting up until the present time. That was the inquiry.
Mr. Hubert.
The time of the President's shooting?
Mr. Senator.
Yes, from the President to----
Mr. Hubert.
Did he more or less ask you to go over and to account for your time during that period?
Mr. Senator.
You mean where I was?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Senator.
Yes, yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Am I right then in saying that his inquiry was to ask you what you had been doing since the President had been shot and what Ruby had been doing too, I suppose?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Both of you?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
He asked you concerning the events in your life during the afternoon of Friday, November 22?
Mr. Senator.
I believe that is how it started.
Mr. Hubert.
And on the night of the 22d and the early morning of the 23d?
Mr. Senator.
There is only one thing that slipped my mind to tell him; and that was the paper issue, the newspaper issue and the billboard, "Impeach Earl Warren". That was the only thing I forgot to tell him that slipped my mind.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you tell him that you had gotten up, that Jack had wakened you early in the morning and had asked you to go out with him?
Mr. Senator.
I don't know if he questioned me on that or not. I don't remember if he did or not on that. I don't remember if he did on that.
Mr. Hubert.
But if he did----
Mr. Senator.
But I had been in a pretty shaky mood that day, most naturally nervous.
Mr. Hubert.
But your point is that if he-did ask you about whether you had gone out with Ruby in the early hours of the morning, you did not tell him about the concern of Ruby over the Bernard Weissman ad, nor did you tell him about taking the pictures of the Earl Warren poster?
Mr. Senator.
No, I didn't tell him that.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, what was your reason for not?
Mr. Senator.
No particular reason.
As a matter of fact, I'm sorry that I--I should have told him. If I thought about it I should have told him that because I think this was a benefactor for Jack Ruby.
Mr. Hubert.
And you say that the reason why you did not mention these two episodes was forgetfulness?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
I was a pretty shaken boy. I'm not used to something like this. This is something that will shake you up.
Mr. Hubert.
Is it that you were shaken up and thought it best not to mention anything about it, or that you actually forgot?
Mr. Senator.
Just forgot.
Mr. Hubert.
And I assume that that officer then carried you through the events of Saturday morning after you got up and Saturday afternoon and Saturday night and Sunday morning, is that not so?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And at that time did you tell him what you had done on Saturday afternoon?
Mr. Senator.
No, because I didn't--I don't think I did because I don't know if I was questioned on that. As a matter of fact, to the best of my knowledge I don't think I was questioned at any time what I did on Saturday afternoon, to the best of my knowledge that I can think of.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean they questioned you about what you did on Friday night and Saturday morning?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And Sunday morning, but they omitted Saturday afternoon?
