November 27, 1963
Mr. J. E. Curry
Chief of Police
Sir:
This is a statement of facts relating to my activity as a Reserve Officer
Sunday, November 24, 1963, to the best of my knowledge and recollection.
1. Approximate time II reported to duty. 8:30 A.
M.
2. I reported to Lt. Merrell in Assembly Room.
3. I was assigned to the basement parking area about 9:00 A. M. to
assist Sgt. Putnam search the area. I saw a rifle taken from a car
I guess was a detective's car. About 10:00 A. M., an officer re-
quested Sgt. Putnam to send me to Commerce and Pearl to control
traffic because of a stuck signal light. About 10:30 I movedback
in front of City Hall on Commerce and assisted with crowds and
traffic after the shooting. Then back to assembly room.
4. Names of other officers in the same area that I can recollect are:
A. W. Capps, 0. W. Harrison, Sgt. Putnam.
5. Did you know Ruby? Yes. I was with a squad seferal weeks ago that
answered a call to a night club (don't recall location) regarding a
drunk. We were unable to locate the subject and just as we were
leaving the driveway a man was getting in a car and the officers
paused long enough to say, "Hello, Jack", and told him they were
looking for a drunk. The man called Jack said, "OH", "I toolt care
of him." The officers said this was Jack Ruby.
6. When and under what circumstance did you see Ruby?
Never did see him, Sunday morning.
