(Testimony of Dave L. Miller)

Mr. Miller.
Put it up just before closing time.
Mr. Griffin.
Would that have been later than 5:30 in the evening?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
You say that with a positive voice.
Mr. Miller.
Because I know it could have been no later, because he had come in there about 5 or 5:30, about the time he was in there.
Mr. Griffin.
Is there any question in your mind but that this was on November 22, the day the President was shot?
Mr. Miller.
It was on November 22; yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
What else did Jack Ruby say to you on that occasion when he came into your shop?
Mr. Miller.
He come in and says, I feel he had been crying because his eyes were real red, and he said, "What do you think of that s.o.b. killing the President?"
Mr. Griffin.
What did you say?
Mr. Miller.
I told him it was a dirty shame that the thing had happened.
Mr. Griffin.
How long did Jack remain there talking to you?
Mr. Miller.
Just less than 5 minutes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he mention to you anything about where he had been that day?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see him before he walked into the shop? That is to say, did you see him walking down the street to your shop?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir; because where our cash register is back in behind, I couldn't see him walking.
Mr. Griffin.
When he left your shop, did you see what direction he went when he went out the door?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir; didn't pay him any mind.
Mr. Griffin.
Did Jack tell you where he was going when he left?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see him again after that?
Mr. Miller.
I saw him Saturday night approximately the same time.
Mr. Griffin.
How did you happen to see him on that occasion?
Mr. Miller.
He come in the place that evening.
Mr. Griffin.
What did he say when he came into the shop that evening?
Mr. Miller.
Nothing I can remember. He said he was coming in to ask me how I was feeling, that is all.
Mr. Griffin.
How long did he remain?
Mr. Miller.
Just a very short time. Maybe 2 or 3 minutes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he say anything to you about what he had been doing?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he give you any indication of where he was going?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he have anybody with him at that time?
Mr. Miller.
He was by himself.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, the first occasion that he came in on Friday, did he have anyone with him on that occasion?
Mr. Miller.
No, sir; he was by himself at that time.
Mr. Griffin.
When he came in on November 22, the day that the President was killed, was there anybody else in the shop?
Mr. Miller.
Well, the shine boys and the pressers, and I think one of the boys was shining a man's shoes. Just don't remember exactly.
Mr. Griffin.
Have you talked with the boys in the shop about Jack having been in there on these two occasions?
Mr. Miller.
You mean since I got this letter?
Mr. Griffin.
No; since November 22.
Mr. Miller.
No; I haven't said anything to them. Of course, one boy has been with me a long time. He would remember him coming in.
Mr. Griffin.
Which boy is that?
Mr. Miller.
Sam Hicks.
Mr. Griffin.
Have you talked to Sam to know whether he does actually remember?
