(Testimony of George Senator Resumed)

Mr. Hubert.
That was after he told you to get dressed?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; after he told me first.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he at that time comment upon or notice the Weissman ad that you had been reading the night before, the big ad that you commented upon, "Why, Mr. President," I think it was called?
Mr. Senator.
I don't remember he noticed it there or he noticed it after the incident. Now, if he seen it before I just don't remember, but I know after we got through this incident, which I will relate to you, we were looking at this ad.
Mr. Hubert.
And that was at the house?
Mr. Senator.
Oh, no; this was--I saw it myself originally.
Mr. Hubert.
In the newspapers?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You had the newspaper on your bed. You had gone to sleep reading?
Mr. Senator.
Yes. I probably threw it on the floor. I think I threw it on the floor before I went to bed.
Mr. Hubert.
In any case you have no recollection that you discussed the ad prior to leaving the house?
Mr. Senator.
I just don't remember if I did or not, but I do know that we did look at that ad that night at another place.
Mr. Hubert.
We will get to that. What happened next then?
Mr. Senator.
Well, I got dressed, went downstairs, got in the car. I got dressed. We went downtown. We picked up Larry. He drove over to where this billboard was.
Mr. Hubert.
Had he told you where it was beforehand?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.; he told me it was on the corner of Hall and the expressway.
Mr. Hubert.
Which expressway?
Mr. Senator.
North Central Expressway. I had an indication because I sort of knew the location of the area. I know where Hall Street is and I know where the expressway is.
Mr. Hubert.
Go ahead. Just pick up as to what happened.
Mr. Senator.
So we went downtown and picked up Larry. From there we drove over to where this billboard was, and he had the kid take three Polaroid shots of this billboard. Now, what his intentions were with these I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
He didn't express any?
Mr. Senator.
No; he didn't say what he was going to do with them but he wanted three shots.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ask him or did anyone else ask him why he wanted to take pictures of this?
Mr. Senator.
No; all he said to me, "I can't understand why they want to impeach Earl Warren" He said, "This must be the work of the John Birch Society or the Communist Party." And he wanted to know why.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he say how taking a picture would help him to find out?
Mr. Senator.
No; he didn't. He didn't say how that would help him to find out. So from there we went down to the post office.
Mr. Hubert.
Did Larry go with you?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
To the post office, I mean.
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
What did you do at the post office?
Mr. Senator.
Wait now, we went down to the post area. This sort of slips away from me when the time gets by on the ad. We must have discussed it or seen it at the house. I just remember now, but I think we probably did. We must have seen it. So anyhow we went up to the post office.
Mr. Hubert.
When you say "the ad"----
Mr. Senator.
The paper ad.
Mr. Hubert.
The Bernard Weissman ad?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; the Bernard Weissman ad.
Mr. Hubert.
So you now think, and let me get it straight, you previously stated that you weren't sure?
Mr. Senator.
I wasn't sure.
Mr. Hubert.
That Ruby had noticed the Bernard Weissman ad after he had
