(Testimony of Sam Ruby)

Mr. Ruby.
and anyway--I don't know what the deal was, but Jack was hit on the back of the head with a club or something like that, and he had a big bandage on the back of his head, and he was hospitalized then, but I don't remember what year it was--I don't remember.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, with that amplification or correction of Exhibit No. 2, is the exhibit otherwise correct?
Mr. Ruby.
Well, they tell me I talked to the family and they say that my mother was hospitalized in Elgin.
Mr. Burleson.
All right; let me ask you--you are now referring to the third paragraph and a sentence in there that says, "This was the Dunning Hospital on Irving Boulevard in Chicago?"
Mr. Ruby.
Yes.
Mr. Burleson.
You have subsequently found out that it may have been a different hospital?
Mr. Ruby.
Right; after I talked to some members of the family and they say it was in Elgin, Ill., which is a mental hospital.
Mr. Burleson.
And are there any other corrections or additions you want to make to that statement?
Mr. Ruby.
Well, I found out since, that my sister, Eileen, had somewhat of a nervous breakdown since she came here to visit during the trial.
Mr. Burleson.
Let me ask you--you are now referring to the last paragraph that says, "He knows of no other indications of any mental illnesses in his family." What have you found out since you made that statement?
Mr. Ruby.
My sister Eileen was treated by a doctor during--following a nervous breakdown some years ago--we found out during the course of the trial when she was here.
Mr. Burleson.
Did you find out anything about Earl having any type of mental disorder, either in the service or subsequent thereto?
Mr. Ruby.
Well, here it is.
Mr. Burleson.
You have that in there?
Mr. Runt.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know where your sister was hospitalized or treated?
Mr. Ruby.
My sister Eileen Kaminsky--no; I don't, but she did mention she was having some difficulty.
Mr. Hubert.
But you got that information from her?
Mr. Ruby.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you didn't know it at the time of the interview covered by Exhibit No. 2, to wit: November 27, 1963?
Mr. Ruby.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Other than that, this document is correct, that is Exhibit No. 2, is that right?
Mr. Ruby.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I show you Exhibit No. 3, which you have already read, and that Exhibit No. 3 is an interview of you by Alfred Sayres, having been dated November 29. I have marked it for identification as follows: "Dallas, Tex., May 29, 1964, as Exhibit No. 3 to the deposition of Sam Ruby," and I have signed my name below it and I ask you if that document is correct?
Mr. Ruby.
Well, the first paragraph there?
Mr. Burleson.
Let me ask you--in reference to the first paragraph starting with "Samuel David Ruby, 11616 Jamestown Road, Dallas, Tex., advised that he has no interest financial or administrative in the S & R Corp. He further advised that he has no interest financial or administrative in the Carousel Club or in the Club Vegas in Dallas, Tex. which clubs are operated by his brother, Jack Ruby. He further advised that he is not aware that his name has ever appeared on any document as an officer in the S & R Corp., in any way in the operation of the Carousel Club or the Club Vegas."
Have you, since you made that statement back on the 29th of November 1963, been informed of some facts that are contrary to what you stated at that time, and do you wish to explain to Mr. Hubert what that is?
Mr. Ruby.
Yes; I found out from Ralph Paul, who was also a stockholder, that I was a member of the corporation and that I was issued shares of stock in the S & R Corp., but I have never seen them, I have never received them or have
