During one interrogation on Friday – the evening of the assassination – Mr. Sims left Oswald's presence to take a phone call.
The caller was an old acquaintance: a local nightclub owner by the name of Jack Ruby.
"He said he was down at Sol's Turf Bar and he said, 'I got 30 sandwiches made up and some drinks.' He wanted to bring them down in case we didn't have time to get something to eat," Mr. Sims recalled.
Now retired, Mr. Boyd, 80, lives in Navarro County.
Mr. Sims declined Ruby's offer. Later that weekend, they would have occasion to talk again.
