Mr. Hubert.

In which reference is made to your participation in the coverage of the President Kennedy tour with a certain David King of UPI, Dallas. I think it is as to that that you wish to address yourself?

Mr. Jenkins.

That is correct.

Mr. Hubert.

What have you to say about that?

Mr. Jenkins.

I have not associated, nor did I know David King or anyone by that name. In fact, I still don't. At that time we did have a new editor by the name of Karl King, and he was our anchor man. He was the new man on the air at the time the assassination occurred.

Mr. Hubert.

Was he with UPI ?

Mr. Jenkins.

Following the assassination, he was relieved from KBOX and subsequently he went to work part time with UPI as an audio man. He is now employed as a newsman with WBAP Television in Fort Worth. This is the only Mr. King that I have had any close dealings with at all.

Mr. Hubert.

Now other than that correction in Exhibit No. 1, have you any other corrections to make?

Mr. JENKINS. No; I do not.

Mr. Hubert.

About any part of it?

Mr. Jenkins.

No Corrections.

Mr. Hubert.

I do know, however, that on page 3 in the third paragraph apparently on the original, the name Robert Thompson has been scratched and the name James Robert Thornton has been written above that.

Mr. Jenkins.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Is the name James Robert Thornton correct?

Mr. Jenkins.

I do not know the man's real name. I only know him by the name of Bob Thornton, and he is with FAA Radio, and I believe television too.

Mr. Hubert.

In any case, it was not Robert Thompson ?

Mr. Jenkins.

No, sir; it was not.

Mr. Hubert.

Now you state in Exhibit No. 1 that you saw Jack Ruby, I believe,

on November 22 on the third floor of the Dallas police station between the hours
of 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Did you know Ruby prior to November 22, 1963 ?

Mr. Jenkins.

No; I did not.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you ever seen him at all ?

Mr. Jenkins.

No; I hadn't.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you know of his existence?

Mr. Jenkins.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Now apparently later you identified Ruby as a man that you had seen on the third floor on November 22, and I ask you now how you identified the man that you saw on the 22d as Jack Ruby whom you did not know on the 22d?

Mr. Jenkins.

I don't think I ever have said that I saw him for sure and could identify him for sure. It was strictly by recall. I was able to see him in person, I believe i.t was, on the afternoon of the Oswald shooting. I think that was the 24th.

Mr. Hubert.

Where did you see him then ?

Mr. Jenkins.

Just outside Capt. Will Fritz' office in the Dallas Police Department. He was being brought down from, I would suppose, the city jail, brought down the corridor past the gathering of newsmen, and I was one of the few who managed to just have been standing outside of Captain Fritz' office door, and he passed within a few feet of me. He was very familiar, and the face was familiar, and it just seemed to me that I had seen the man on the Friday night previous. This was the first thing that struck me when I did see him, because I had not seen him following the Oswald shooting up until that moment.

Mr. Hubert.

Is it a fact that immediately upon seeing him under the circumstances and the time and conditions that you stated, that you had the mental reaction that you had seen this man before?

Mr. Jenkins.

Yes; that is correct.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you at that time associate him with the man you had seen on the 22d?

Mr. Jenkins.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Hubert.

Immediately?
