Mr. SMART. So he told these two fellows to take over.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So, if there were no actual written report of this ever
made----
Mr. SMART. If there is, I imagine Montgomery--I believe it is
Montgomery--I could be mistaken--but it is those two guys. I could find
out their names.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Okay, okay; all right; did you talk with Ruby at any time?
Mr. SMART. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, when you got back to the homicide office, saw Fritz,
had Fritz talked with Ruby by then?
Mr. SMART. I couldn’t tell you.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you got back to the homicide office, had you been
told by anybody how Ruby got into the basement?
Mr. SMART. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or did you hear any rumor about it?
Mr. SMART. Oh, I heard rumors; yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you--when was the first time that you heard that Ruby
had told somebody how he got into the basement?
Mr. SMART. I am not sure where I heard it, but I heard it--some of the
boys talking, said that they heard that he said that he walked by some
officers down the ramp.
