(Testimony of Huey Reeves)
Mr. Hubert.
And on November 23, which was Saturday, you worked from 7 o'clock Saturday night until 7 o'clock Sunday morning?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a nightclub called the Carousel Club?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes; it's right next to where I work.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Jack Ruby?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you come to know him?
Mr. Reeves.
Well, he parked in my place all the time. He was a regular parker, you see, and Nichols Bros. is right there and his club was next to my parking place. He would just drive in and park and go up in his place.
Mr. Hubert.
How long have you known him?
Mr. Reeves.
Ever since I have been working there I don't know just how long--probably a year and a half--I wouldn't say- -I don't know just how long--probably a year and a half--I wouldn't say for sure but to the best of my knowledge.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see him every day?
Mr. Reeves.
Every night.
Mr. Hubert.
Every night?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a lady by the name of Karen Bennett--they call her Little Lynn?
Mr. Reeves.
Is she a young girl?
Mr. Hubert.
Well, I don't know her age she is--I would suppose a young gift.
Mr. Reeves.
There's so m.any girls now, if she works up there for Jack Ruby, I know them when I see them, but their names, it seems to me like that little Bennett girl may have been the one that fainted one night.
Mr. Hubert.
Down in Ruby's place?
Mr. Reeves.
No, sir; in our lobby room. She came out of Jack Ruby's place.
Mr. Hubert.
When was that?
Mr. Reeves.
It was before Jack Ruby done that--before.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; but how long before?
Mr. Reeves.
Oh, it was probably a month or two--I wouldn't know for sure, because I wasn't keeping up with the dates, you know. I guess they told me her name she's from Fort Worth, I believe. There are so many girls work up there for him. A lot of them park down in the place there but I just remember them--the face, but not the name.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember getting a phone call from Jack Ruby on the night of Saturday, November 23?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, sir; I guess it's that same girl--he called me to give $5 to her, I believe.
Mr. Hubert.
About what time was it; do you remember?
Mr. Reeves.
Probably 9 o'clock, something like that.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, tell us exactly what happened about that?
Mr. Reeves.
Well, she called Jack over the phone and wanted some money and Jack said, "Well, I can't come down right now."
Mr. Hubert.
How do you know what he said?
Mr. Reeves.
Well, that's what he told me to do.
Mr. Hubert.
Who told you to do that? He told you to do that?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Just tell us what she said and what you could hear her say over the phone?
Mr. Reeves.
Well, I don't remember her saying anything.
Mr. Hubert.
Did she call from your place?
Mr. Reeves.
Yes, well, you see my office phone is in this office and she was in the next phone the pay phone.
Mr. Hubert.
I see.
Mr. Reeves.
And then--let me see, now, I believe she called Jack to borrow some money and then Jack called me.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, how do you know that she called him to borrow some money. Did she tell you so or did you overhear this?
