Mr. PIERCE. Because at that time when the officers out there told us
that we could not remain outside we would have to step back inside and
close the doors, that is where we were. I wanted to finish that part of
it so that you would understand about the door being unlocked, because
I was there at the time.
Mr. HUBERT. And that is all you have to say about that?
Mr. PIERCE. I think that it is pretty well covered in here.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes; I think so, too.
Mr. PIERCE. Other than the actual time the door was locked after we
left that area, but it was after he had been shot, and had it all----
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know Jack Ruby?
Mr. PIERCE. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You have seen pictures of him, of course, since?
Mr. PIERCE. I have many times since.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see him around anywhere on November 24?
Mr. PIERCE. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Or any other date prior to the shooting?
Mr. PIERCE. No other date did I see him. As a matter of--I imagine at
the time, because there were so many, and I hadn’t seen any--I didn’t
even know he existed, and in the crowd of people that were there, it
is very possible that he might have been in the group that I saw as I
worked back and forth, but he could have been there, but I didn’t know.
