(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, he was the one that built it, I think he built it and sold it for half interest or something.
Mr. Hubert.
What Hunt is that in the Hunt Oil Co.?
Mr. Armstrong.
It's H. L. Hunt Co.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know Mr. Hunt?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Lamar Hunt?
Mr. Armstong.
I have seen him--I don't know him.
Mr. Hubert.
Is that the same man as H. L. Hunt Oil Co.?
Mr. Armstrong.
That's the same man--he was in charge, and when I left the Holiday Hills----
Mr. Hubert.
Well, before you leave the Holiday Hills and Hunt Oil Co., you say that you have seen a Mr. Hunt, but have not talked to him?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, sir; I have never talked to him.
Mr. Hubert.
And that one you saw was H. L. Hunt?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, no--it was Lamar, and a few of his brothers, a couple of his brothers, I think it was--it was on the 4th of July or a Labor Day, I don't know which one it was, I don't recall, and they had a party out there.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know the relationship between Lamar Hunt and H. L Hunt?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
What is that?
Mr. Armstrong.
Father and son.
Mr. Hubert.
But you never met H. L. Hunt?
Mr. Armstong.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
But you have seen him?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Who employed you over there?
Mr. Armstrong.
A Mrs. Pierson was the manager. I dropped in one afternoon for a job and she gave me the opportunity to work there for a week to see if I did a good job, so she hired me.
Mr. Hubert.
When you were employed by this lady to work for the Holiday Hills Apartments, did they know you had been in the penitentiary?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
How long after you left the penitentiary did you apply and receive the job?
Mr. Armstrong.
Let's see, it was sometime during the summer of 1961.
Mr. Hubert.
About the middle of the summer, you mean?
Mr. Armstong.
I'm pretty sure I think it was about the middle of the summer.
Mr. Hubert.
What did you do in the meantime, between March when you left the penitentiary?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, I mostly just picked up odd jobs trying to make a buck, just odd jobs, whatever I could find to do.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you kept out of trouble ever since?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes. I have an application in for full pardon, recommended by Mr. "Bill" Decker himself.
Mr. Hubert.
By Mr. who?
Mr. Armstrong.
The sheriff.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know the sheriff?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you come to know him?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, mostly through--I've seen him more times throughgoing down to visit Jack, because you had to go through Mr. Decker.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know Mr. Decker prior to the time that Oswald was killed?
Mr. Armstrong.
Not too well--well, no, in a way I did and in a way I didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, explain that, please.
Mr. Armstrong.
Back when I was a caddymaster at River Hills golf course someone broke in it out there and I was picked up on investigation, which someone else testified to later that they had did it.
Mr. Hubert.
At first they thought you had done it?
