Mr. CLARDY. On my statement, that the approximate time where I went
down was approximately 11 instead of 10, and the approximate time that
we brought Mr. Jack Ruby from the jail to Captain Fritz' office was
approximately 3:30, instead of 2:30.
Mr. HUBERT. Those corrections you wish to make on the document marked
5061?
Mr. CLARDY. 5061.
Mr. HUBERT. As I understood it, there were two time corrections that
you think should be made, is that correct?
Mr. CLARDY. On that document alone, sir. And this was approximately
closer to 11 a.m., on this other document.
Mr. HUBERT. Let's see. You wish to make a correction as to the time
with reference to Clardy Exhibit No. 5061, to wit, your letter to Chief
Curry on November 27th and----
Mr. CLARDY. And on that also. It was approximately 3:30 instead of 2:30.
Mr. HUBERT. Two corrections here.
Mr. CLARDY. Yes, sir; two corrections on that.
Mr. HUBERT. And in the second paragraph of that letter where you name
the time as 10 a.m.----
Mr. CLARDY. Approximately; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. As the time at which Lieutenant Smart advised you and other
officers to report to the jail office. You now say the time should have
been what?
Mr. CLARDY. Should have been 11 a.m.
Mr. HUBERT. Should have been 11 a.m. Do you have another time
correction to make?
Mr. CLARDY. Time on the last paragraph there was the time that we
brought the prisoner out, Mr. Ruby, to Captain Fritz' office.
Mr. HUBERT. It reads now as "2:30 p.m."?
Mr. CLARDY. It reads 2:30. It should have been approximately 3:30 p.m.
Mr. HUBERT. Should have been 3:30 instead of 2:30. Both of those
corrections being as to Clardy Exhibit No. 5061. Did I understand that
you might have a correction as to Clardy Exhibit No. 5062?
Mr. CLARDY. Clardy Exhibit No. 5062. This. The second paragraph should
have been approximately 11 a.m., instead of 10 a.m.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, your best recollection is that the time that
Lieutenant Smart advised you and other officers to go to the city jail
office was 11 o'clock rather than 10 o'clock?
Mr. CLARDY. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you anything you can tell us that would explain that
error in time that you made?
Mr. CLARDY. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. HUBERT. You see, the point I am making is, that on November 27, you
stated 10 a.m., apparently in your letter. Then--well, prior to that,
on November 25, when you were interviewed by the FBI you told them at
10 o'clock, and do you think that it is simply a mistake in time, or----
Mr. CLARDY. Well, it is a mistake in time on me--on the--on my first
report I was under the impression that I told them 11 a.m., which--now,
whether I did or not, I don't know, sir, on my first interview.
Mr. HUBERT. Let me call your attention to the fact that on Document
5063, which is the interview on December 3, you also mentioned 10 a.m.,
apparently. All I am trying to do, Detective Clardy, is to find out
why it is that you think it is 11 o'clock now, whereas before on three
separate occasions you thought it was 10.
Mr. CLARDY. Sir, I thought I told the agent that I talked to that it
was possibly closer to 11 than it was to 10, when I talked to him. To
be--just preactly [sic] what time I went down there, I am just judging.
