Chief Justice WARREN. That I can assure you.
Mr. RUBY. There is an organization here, Chief Justice Warren, if it
takes my life at this moment to say it, and Bill Decker said be a man
and say it, there is a John Birch Society right now in activity, and
Edwin Walker is one of the top men of this organization--take it for
what it is worth, Chief Justice Warren.
Unfortunately for me, for me giving the people the opportunity to get
in power, because of the act I committed, has put a lot of people in
jeopardy with their lives.
Don't register with you, does it?
Chief Justice WARREN. No; I don't understand that.
Mr. RUBY. Would you rather I just delete what I said and just pretend
that nothing is going on?
Chief Justice WARREN. I would not indeed. I am only interested in what
you want to tell this Commission. That is all I am interested in.
Mr. RUBY. Well, I said my life, I won't be living long now. I know
that. My family's lives will be gone. When I left my apartment that
morning----
Chief Justice WARREN. What morning?
Mr. RUBY. Sunday morning.
Chief Justice WARREN. Sunday morning.
Mr. RUBY. Let's go back. Saturday I watched Rabbi Seligman. Any of you
watch it that Saturday morning?
Chief Justice WARREN. No; I didn't happen to hear it.
Mr. RUBY. He went ahead and eulogized that here is a man that fought in
every battle, went to every country, and had to come back to his own
country to be shot in the back [starts crying].
