(Testimony of George Senator Resumed)

Mr. Senator.
No; I just don't remember if he did relate that or not, but we thought it was a great honor for him to come to Dallas.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he think his coming would help business in Dallas generally, and his business in particular?
Mr. Senator.
No; there was no comment on that.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he state whether or not he was going to try to see the parade?
Mr. Senator.
No; he didn't mention that.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you have previously said in a statement that you saw him sometime that night, and he went out or something, and then. you went to bed?
Mr. Senator.
No. The next time that I saw him was the following morning when he woke me up.
Mr. Hubert.
I am talking about the night now of the 21st, before the President was shot, Thursday night, you all talked about the President's coming. Did he go out or stay at home, do you recall?
Mr. SENAT0R. No; he is at the club. He goes to the club.
Mr. Hubert.
He is at the club?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You went to bed, and when he came in I assume you were sleeping.
Mr. Senator.
You are talking about Thursday?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes, I am talking about Thursday night and Friday morning.
Mr. Senator.
Thursday night--the President came in Friday.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; but Thursday night did Jack follow his usual routine?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; his usual routine.
Mr. Hubert.
You were asleep I guess when he got back?
Mr. Senator.
Thursday night I don't remember if I was or not.
Mr. Hubert.
Anyhow, Friday morning when you got up he was asleep.
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you didn't talk to him until you heard of the death of the President?
Mr. Senator.
No; the next time that I talked to him was Saturday morning.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't speak to him at all on Friday afternoon after the death?
Mr. Senator.
No; I never saw him at all. I was out. I was out all day.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you go home on Friday night at all?
Mr. Senator.
Sure.
Mr. Hubert.
What time?
Mr. Senator.
Friday night I must have went home around somewheres between 10 and 11. Of course, I bought the paper at the Adolphus before I went home. I always buy a paper, too.
Mr. Hubert.
Was Jack home then?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
He had not attempted to contact you from the time of the President's death at all?
Mr. Senator.
No. He couldn't contact me because I was around.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you try to contact him?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you bring out where it was that he was around?
Mr. Senator.
When I said "around"?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where?
Mr. Senator.
Around town, no particular place.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you going from bar to bar?
Mr. Senator.
No, not bar to bar. I had been at a couple of bars. I was with a friend of mine that night, and we went out, we had a couple of beers and we were so disgusted, if you can picture the overall picture of Friday night in the city of Dallas after the occurrence, what happened that afternoon or late that morning, the city was, I don't know how to describe it, morguelike. They were brooding. Everybody was brooding, a sad affair.
