Mr. Ruby.

No.

Mr. Herndon.

This next one will be relatively short, and it won't take too long.
I'm going to ask you these questions somewhat in sequence and in consecutive order. There are five of them. They can be answered simply by "yes" or "no."
"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald on Friday night?"

Mr. Ruby.

No.

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald on Saturday morning?"

Mr. Ruby.

No.

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald Sunday morning?"

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Herndon.

And last, I'll ask you, "Have you answered all questions truthfully?"

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Herndon.

In addition to those questions I've just asked, I'm going to ask, again to establish identity, "Is your first name Jack?"

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Herndon.

"Is your last name Ruby?"

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Herndon.

I will ask you of those questions that I have just related to you, those pertinent five questions in consecutive order, with considerable spacing and time between--I believe you understand what I mean by Friday night?

Mr. Ruby.

Definitely--the period of meditation.

Mr. Herndon.

That's right--in the evening after 6 o'clock, and Saturday morning we consider as being that time from when you wake up until you have lunch, and I think you understand these questions.

Mr. Ruby.

Also, is there any way you can ask me if my family had known of my doing anything like that?

Mr. Herndon.

We may possibly get into that area or perhaps take that up with Mr. Specter.

Mr. Specter.

Well, actually, Mr. Ruby, we have a great many questions to ask you and there are certain limitations on the test.

Mr. Herndon.

I am going to proceed on this particular series now.

Mr. Specter.

All right. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Tonahill are leaving the room, and may the record show both have now departed.
(Reporter's note: 4.08 p.m.)

Mr. Herndon.

Did you want to tell me something before, Mr. Ruby, before I start?

Mr. Ruby.

No.

Mr. Herndon.

Again, I will tell you when the test begins.
Will you let the record show that I have these designated as series 3a.
All right, do you feel all right now, Mr. Ruby?

Mr. Ruby.

Yes.

Mr. Herndon.

Sit perfectly still and try to concentrate and look straight ahead and answer the questions truthfully "Yes" or "No."
I now put some pressure on that arm cuff.
The test will now begin.
(Reporter's note: 4:10 p.m.)

Mr. Herndon.

"Is your first name Jack?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes".

Mr. Herndon.

"Is your last name Ruby?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes".

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald on Friday night?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No".

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald on Saturday morning?”

Mr. Ruby.

"No".

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald on Saturday night?"

Mr. Ruby.

"No".

Mr. Herndon.

"Did you first decide to shoot Oswald on Sunday morning?"

Mr. Ruby.

"Yes".

Mr. Herndon.

"Have you answered all questions truthfully?"
