Shortly after, approximately 11:15 A.M., Lieutenant Pierce
approached me just outside the Jail Office and advised me
to ride in the Armored Car and to give him two (2) officers
to go with him in his oar. I advised Sergeant Putnam to get
an unassi gned man (Sergeant Maxey) and go with Lieutenant
Pieroe.
I then went to the Armored Car and remained approximately
five minutes until I heard the shot and saw the commotion
at the bottom of the ramp which was approximately fifty (50)
feet from me.
I immediately ran to the location to assist the officers with the
crowd.
It was then, while the detectives had the suspeot on the floor,
that I recognized him (the suspect) as Jack Ruby.
I knew Jack Ruby as the manager of the Carousel Club located in
the 1300 block of Commerce. I met him while I was assigned as
a sergeant on Zone 100 which includes the location of the Carousel
Club.
At no time during the day had I seen Jack Ruby either in nor
around the City Hall. In fact I have not seen him for several
months.
At approximately 12:00 Noon Chief Curry contacted me just outside
his office and instructed me to escort Mr. Forrest V. Sorrells,
Agent in charge of the looal Secret Service, to the Fifth Floor
Jail for Mr. Sorrells to interview Mr. Ruby.
After Mr. Sorrells interrogated the subject I questioned Ruby as
to how he had entered the basement and the length of time he had
been there. Ruby then stated to me in the presence of Sorrells that
he had entered the basement through the ramp entering on Main Street.
He further stated that he would estimate his total time as about three
minutes before the detectives brought Oswald into his view, then he
immediately shot him (Oswald).
