Mr. FOWLER. Let me ask one thing, Dr. Beavers.
I believe that you do have a written report that you have submitted to
the court, is that correct?
Dr. BEAVERS. Yes, sir. Now, I submitted a written report about the
first evaluation, not to the court but to Mr. Burleson, who requested
my services on behalf of family.
I then sent a shorter report, which included the major points and the
recommendations, to the attorneys, to the judge, to Sheriff Decker, and
I believe that’s all.
Now, I assume, and I think it’s the case that probably the defense
attorneys passed the report on to the judge, but I did not send it
myself.
Mr. FOWLER. In any of these reports, you have no objection to making
them available to this Commission?
Dr. BEAVERS. Oh, no.
Mr. FOWLER. If they are requested?
Dr. BEAVERS. If the rights of the patient and the defense attorneys are
in agreement—if the rights of the patient are maintained—no, I have no
objection.
Mr. TONAHILL. I think it would be nice, if you would, let him have
copies of all the reports you have written with respect to his illness,
and they would not involve any jeopardy of Mr. Ruby’s rights at all, if
you would mail them to Mr. Specter.
Dr. BEAVERS. Would you like to have them?
Mr. SPECTER. The Commission would be glad to receive any reports you
have or any other supplemental information that you may wish to provide.
Dr. BEAVERS. I’ll be happy to.
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. Alexander, do you have a question?
Mr. ALEXANDER. Just one or two questions.
Do you recognize that late counsel for the defense, Mr. Fowler, did not
participate in the Jack Ruby trial and is not as aware of the facts
brought out in the investigation as perhaps I, who was in on it at the
first, or Mr. Tonahill, who was in on the trial? You appreciate that,
do you not?
