(Testimony of George William Fehrenbach)
Mr. Fehrenbach.
around when they had questioned me at all; I can't remember she was ever around at anytime. She could have possibly been.
Mr. Griffin.
Was she employed there when Jack--did Jack Rubenstein ever visit the store when she was there?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
Yes; I am quite sure that she was there on the last time that I seen him. She would have had to be there I am sure she was--because this was after I came back from the service and I don't recall Mary ever taking a vacation or anything. She was always there, maybe once or twice I remember she was off sick ,but I am quite sure she was there. However, I don't recall--yes; that is before, I was going to say the card tricks, I don't recall her being there but then, of course, she wasn't because he didn't have the jewelry store then but the last time he was there. I am quite sure Mary would have had to have been there unless she was off sick or something. And now that was the time, like I say, that Jack was rather distant. He came ,in and he spoke, and that was about the length of it.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he come in with anybody at that time?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
Yes; he came in with Seymour and Charlotte at that time.
Mr. Griffin.
How long was this before or after you found the list?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
Well, it was after I found the list but I can't remember.
It could have been before, too, I just could not say for sure whether it was before or after I found the list.
Mr. Griffin.
Was it a matter of a couple of days or a couple of weeks before or after?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
I would say roughly it would be right around very nearly the same time.
Mr. Griffin.
Well----
Mr. Fehrenbach.
It could have been after. I just can't say for sure.
Mr. Griffin.
You don't have any recollection, I take it, or do you, that Jack Rubenstein, that you saw Jack Rubenstein on the same day that the meeting took place on which you found this list?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
No; I don't think .that it was on .t. he same day. I do remember when I seen Jack'.s name on that list, it struck me as rather odd because, well not actually odd either, I don"t know, I just, even though that Jack came down with Seymour and he knew all the rest of them, I couldn't place him. He was so much different than what the rest of them were, and I just never connected him with being a member of the party. But now that I think about it, by seeing his name on there it must have been after I turned that list in that I seen him again.
Mr. Griffin.
How long after would be your best estimate. I don't want you to guess, I want you to try to give an informed estimate if you can and if you can't make any informed estimate then we should indicate it.
Mr. Fehrenbach.
I just can't member. I just have no idea. Because it was just, 1ike I say, he walked in, he came into the jewelry store that time, he came back through the office, poked his head around the corner and said, "Sam, how are you?" He said, "Hello, Bill," everybody else started calling me George, but he called me Bill, he said, "Hello, Bill." Seymour and Charlotte come in and Charlotte come over and spoke to me for a while and Seymour, this Jack Rubenstein, and Sam went into the other office, and Charlotte and I were talking for a little while.
Mr. Griffin.
I want to hand you a photograph which I have marked George William Fehrenbach, July 22, 1964, Exhibit No. 2. Would you look at that and tell me if you recognize either of the people in that photograph?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
No. He is not familiar but she is. He is a little familiar but I couldn't place the name on either one of them.
Mr. Griffin.
Could she be the blond girl that you recall being with Jack Rubenstein?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
If she is she is a lot older now than she was then.
Mr. Griffin.
Let me tell you that picture was taken in the 1940--in the 1940's rather?
Mr. Fehrenbach.
No; it couldn't have been because this other girl was, unless that is a very poor photograph, the other girl was quite slender.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ever meet anyone by the name of Benjamin Kanter?
