At around 12:40 JACK RUBY came into the motel and asked for PETE GUARISCO. I told him where PETE had gone and we started to. talk. He told me of his business in Dallas and how it was nice to get away from it once in a while and how he had even gone to Mexico for a few days. He did not tell me when or where he had been in Mexico, but that he had already gone there. He introduced himself as JACK RUBY from Dallas and that he knew PETE GUARISCO very well and that he wanted to see him. He said that he was on his way to Dallas.
