(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong Resumed)

Mr. Hubert.
5309-A, and I understand that you have made all the comments that you have to make about any of the entries on those various pages, and that is to say that you made a comment as to any name that had any significance to you at all?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And if you have not commented on the name, that means that the name has no significance to you?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
I am going to ask you to do substantially the same thing with another document that I am handing you that has been identified, "Dallas, Texas, April 14, 1964," and this was marked for identification on your last appearance. It is marked as Exhibit 5309-B, "Deposition of Andrew Armstrong." I have signed it. The document consists of 20 pages. It is a photo-stat of an original, apparently. It has written in type "Notebook No. (2), page 1," on the first page, and-then on each of the subsequent pages there are numbers running from 2 to 20. I would also like to have the record note that this exhibit has also been marked as "Exhibit 5204," relative to the deposition of C. L. Crafard. I would like you first of all to look through all of the pages for the purpose of a general identification, after which I am going to ask you to go over each page as you did the previous document.
Mr. Armstrong.
[Examining instrument referred to.] Okay.
Mr. Hubert.
Let the record, show that the witness is examining each page of the exhibit Now, you have looked at all of the pages of that Exhibit 5309-B, and you have identified it all?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes---no--well, yes, I have looked at it but I haven't identified it.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, we'll put it this way--have you ever seen the original of which this exhibit is a series of pictures?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You have never seen that address book, or whatever it is?
Mr. Armstrong.
I don't remember seeing this--now, I could have, but I don't remember it.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't remember ever having seen it at all?
Mr. Armstrong.
Let me make this statement.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, go ahead--you wish to make a statement?
Mr. Armstrong.
Jack kept a number of little books and little pieces of paper wrapped up with a rubber band in his coat pocket and whenever he got ready to look for anything he would take it out and run through it, take out one of those little books, which I didn't pay any attention to it--this could be One of the little books he had.
Mr. Hubert.
But you do not recognize it?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
And you don't believe you have ever seen it before?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I will ask you to go over each individual page and if there is any entry or name that has any significance to you or that you recognize in any way, stop and identify the page and then make your comment. If, as you turn the pages over and examine them you have no recognition or the entries are not significant to you, then your silence as to each page will mean precisely that. That is to say, that those entries mean nothing to you.
Mr. Armstrong.
[Examining instrument referred to.] I recognize the name Sam Ruby.
Mr. Hubert.
That's what page---the page you are referring seems to be un-numbered--an unnumbered page, but it is the third page back from the one that is numbered 20, is that correct?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Who is Sam Ruby?
Mr. Armstrong.
Jack Ruby's brother.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he around the club much?
