Let's proceed then to series No. 6 and we will mark that as Herndon Deposition Exhibit No. 7.
(Herndon Deposition Exhibit No. 7 was marked for identification.)

Mr. Herndon.

Do you want the total chart minutes?

Mr. Specter.

Yes; please give us that.

Mr. Herndon.

The total chart minutes of series 5 was 2 minutes 55 seconds.

Mr. Specter.

May the record show now that we have marked series No. 6 as Herndon Exhibit No. 7. Would you now, Mr. Herndon, specify the relevant questions, responses, and psychological deviations, if any?

Mr. Herndon.

In series No. 6 Mr. Ruby was asked four relevant questions.
No. 2: "Did you get a Wall Street Journal at Southwestern Drug Store during the week before the assassination?" He replied "No."
Question No. 4: "Do you have any knowledge of a Wall Street Journal addressed to a Mr. J. E. Bradshaw?" He replied "No."
Question No. 6: "To your knowledge did you or any of your friends telephone the FBI in Dallas between 2 and 3 a.m. Sunday morning?" He replied "No."
Question No. 8: "Did you or any of your friends to your knowledge telephone the sheriff's office between 2 or 3 a.m. Sunday morning?" He replied "No."
From a review of Mr. Ruby's polygrams, on series 6, it was noted that there were no significant physiological variations to his response to the relevant questions. It was noted that Mr. Ruby did display slight suppression in his breathing pattern, and a relative decrease in blood pressure with an increase in the heart amplitude at question No. 7. This question was: "Did you ever overcharge a customer?" Mr. Ruby replied "No." However, after the series, this question was discussed with him briefly, and he did make mention of the fact that there had been some trouble at his nightclub with regard to the waitresses and big bills. This could be interpreted as a possible deception pattern in that he hedged with regard to the question "Did you ever overcharge a customer." The total chart minutes of series No. 6 was 2 minutes 50 seconds.

Mr. Specter.

Are there any other significant findings on series 6?

Mr. Herndon.

The only significant finding being that the control question 7 displays a more significant variation than his response to the relevant questions. There are no others.

Mr. Specter.

You have now given us then all the significant findings on series 6?

Mr. Herndon.

That is correct.

Mr. Specter.

May the record show that we are now placing the designation Herndon Deposition Exhibit No. 8 on series No. 7.
(Herndon Deposition Exhibit No. 8 was marked for identification.)

Mr. Specter.

Would you start again, Mr. Herndon, with the relevant questions and tell us the answers and the responses thereto with any significant findings?

Mr. Herndon.

Series No. 7 contains four relevant questions.
Question No. 2: "Did you go to the Dallas police station at any time on Friday, November 22, 1963, before you went to the synagogue?" Mr. Ruby replied "No."
Question No. 4: "Did you go to the synagogue that Friday night?" Mr. Ruby replied "Yes."
Question No. 6: "Did you see Oswald in the Dallas jail on Friday night?"
Mr. Ruby replied "Yes."
Question No. 8: "Did you have a gun with you when you went to the Friday midnight press conference at the jail?"
Mr. Ruby replied "No."
There was one other question asked which I consider irrelevant. However, it is of value to the series, and I will make mention of it, question No. 9: "Is everything you told the Warren Commission the entire truth?" Mr. Ruby responded "Yes."
With regard to overall interpretation of series No. 7, I first noticed there is i a physiological deviation to Mr. Ruby's response to question No. 1 which was "Do you intend to answer the questions truthfully." However, my notes indicate that Mr. Ruby talked and said "Yes, I do," and by actually speaking several words it is believed that this caused the variation in the tracings.
