March 7, 1967 TO: AL OSER FROM: SGT. T. DUFFY AND DET. C. NAVARRE About 12 Noon Sgt. Thomas Duffy and Det. Cliency Navarre interviewed MR. A. B. SAUX, Administrator of Ochsner Clinic. This interview was in MR. SAUX'S office at Ochsner Clinic. MR. SAUX stated that the clinic had heard of the rumor of JACK RUBY being a patient at the clinic. He stated that various news services had been calling the clinic in this respect. MR. SAUX stated that Dr. Ochsner had ordered a complete check of the files to determine if JACK RUBY had ever been a patient. MR. SAUX checked the files for a JACK or JOHN RUBY, a JACK or JOHN or JOE or JOSEPH RUBINSTEIN, or any other name that may be close. This check revealed that he had never been a patient. MR. SAUX stated that had RUBY been a patient in the year prior to the President's death, even if he had used an assumed name, he is sure that someone on the staff would have recognized his face as a patient, because of all the subsequent publicity of RUBY. He also stated that had RUBY been a cancer patient in 1953, he would have been able to locate his file be- cause all of the cancer patients are "red flagged" on their file. He stated that he is almost 1000% sure that RUBY has never been a patient at Ochsner under any name.
