Mr. Miller.

That is when he first changed his club into the striptease. He had some little, you call them little pages of folders--not folders, but rising, and I just put them up for the public.

Mr. Griffin.

Was it newspaper advertising?

Mr. Miller.

No; he had them printed himself.

Mr. Griffin.

Handbills?

Mr. Miller.

Handbills; yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you put them in your store window, or on the walls, or what?

Mr. Miller.

We put them in the window at that time. Later on, Mr. Ruby fixed a stand and we had pictures of that type on it, and I put it in my window at night.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Mr. Ruby pay you anything for doing that?

Mr. Miller.

He has at times, would give me something. Sometimes $5, just like an accommodation thing.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you ever have occasion to talk with Mr. Ruby about any of his problems that he was having?

Mr. Miller.

No; he never mentioned anything to me about his problems.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he ever have occasion to talk with you about his competition, the Weinsteins?

Mr. Miller.

When he first changed to striptease, he did.

Mr. Griffin.

What did he tell you, if you recall?

Mr. Miller.

Well, it seemed that the Weinsteins didn't want him to have a striptease, and he was going to show them he was going to stay in the business.
That was the only thing that he said anything about the Weinsteins.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack Ruby tell you that the Weinsteins didn't want him to have the place, or did you hear from some of the Weinsteins, or some place else?

Mr. Miller.

Jack Ruby told me himself.

Mr. Griffin.

What hours is your shine and press shop open?

Mr. Miller.

I am there from 6 in the morning until 6 at night.

Mr. Griffin.

Is that 6 days a week?

Mr. Miller.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember seeing him sometime before he shot Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Miller.

Well, of course, I would see him almost every week, but prior to the time of Lee Oswald, the day the President was killed, he come in the place around 5:30, I imagine, and I had been putting the sign in the window, and he asked me not to put the sign, because he wouldn't be open until after the funeral.

Mr. Griffin.

How do you estimate that it was 5 or 5:30?

Mr. Miller.

It was late in the evening, because it was pretty close to my closing time.

Mr. Griffin.

Could it have been earlier than 5 o'clock? Could it have been as early as 3:30 or 4 o'clock?

Mr. Miller.

No. sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What makes you say that?

Mr. Miller.

Because, like I say, it was late in the evening, and I was getting ready to close up, because we start getting the shine stand cleaned and was going through that procedure at that time.

Mr. Griffin.

You say you were putting the sign in the window?

Mr. Miller.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What sign were you putting in the window?

Mr. Miller.

Well, he made a stand and put pictures of the girls and who was the master of ceremonies, might have been, and, of course, he has that at the Carousel Club.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you put the sign in the window every night, or did you leave it up all the time?

Mr. Miller.

Take it down during the day, and put it up at night.

Mr. Griffin.

Any particular reason why you took it down during the day?

Mr. Miller.

It was in the way.

Mr. Griffin.

I see. Did you have any sort of routine as to when you would put the sign up?
