(Testimony of George Senator Resumed)

Mr. Senator.
things of that nature, when they were young. One was placed here, one was placed there, wherever they were placed. A lot of these things I never even knew.
Mr. Griffin.
So this conclusion that you are now drawing----
Mr. Senator.
I would probably say this might be why he has done some of the things he did.
Mr. Griffin.
You are drawing this conclusion on the basis of what you have learned since he shot Oswald, and not on the basis of anything that you knew beforehand? In other words, these things you have been talking about, his father and his mother and the separation of the children, this you first learned after he shot Oswald? You didn't know about that when you were living with him?
Mr. Senator.
No; I didn't know about it. I heard him mention that he had tough days as a kid, but he never talked about them too' much, very, very little. All these things, the majority of the things that come out, come out after the trial, I mean after the shooting. There, of course, I think his sisters come out with the majority of it and probably his brothers, when things had to be related and had to go back all these years.
Mr. Griffin.
Go ahead through there as you have, through that Exhibit 5401, and if there is anything else in there that you think should be changed or clarified--keep in mind what I am primarily concerned with is whether this report you are looking at is an accurate report of what was told to the FBI at that time.
Mr. Senator.
Let me run through this one: "He added he occasionally when low on funds would be asked by Ruby to come and stay a day or two with him until he got back on his feet".
Of course, this is a comma, and then it continues, but I want .to stop right there. Let me run through the whole thing. "He added he occasionally when low on funds would be asked by Ruby to come and stay a day or two with him until he got back on his feet, but he claims he actually never lived with him until about November 1, 1963, when he moved into the apartment of Ruby's, apartment 207, 223 South Ewing, Dallas, Tex."
Mr. Griffin.
Yes; well,. that is inaccurate?
Mr. Senator.
You know that.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, my only question to you is when the FBI interviewed you, and this is on November 24, did you omit to tell them that you had lived with Ruby on an earlier occasion?
Mr. Senator.
To the best of my knowledge. I don't think I did omit that. I don't think I did.
Mr. Griffin.
I think the record is sufficiently clear.
Mr. Senator.
Now, there are a lot of things I must tell you which I have told you before, I am not always sure of everything, you know. In other words, I have to use these words to let you know that I ain't lying.
Mr. Griffin.
I think the record will be clear from this deposition that you didn't live with him before November 1st of 1963.
Mr. Senator.
Yes
Mr. Griffin.
Now, unless that you are certain that you did tell the FBI about living with Ruby before November 1st, I would rather not change it on there, write it in there, but I would rather simply let the record show that we are making here, simply let it reflect that that is inaccurate.
Mr. Senator.
Let me run back on this one again, part of this again:
"He added he occasionally when low on funds would be asked by Ruby to come and stay a day or two with him until he got back on his feet,".
This was never, because the first time I stayed with him was when I stayed at the club, and then moved with him, because I stayed with him 5 to 6 months, something like that. Of course, I don't know how you classify this, how important it is to you or not, because I don't know.
Mr. Griffin.
Were there occasions other than the time that you lived with him for 5 or 6 months that you did come and stay with him for a day or two?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
It never happened?
Mr. Senator.
No; I was with him. I mean I wasn't in and out.
