Mr. Armstrong.

Discharged.

Mr. Hubert.

What caused it?

Mr. Armstrong.

I don't know the cause.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ask?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, I have recently, 5 or 6 days ago-Mrs. Pierson who is not there any more, and I wanted to ask her.

Mr. Hubert.

Mrs. Pierson being the lady who had originally employed you?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

She was the one who discharged you, too?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, what about 5 or 6 days ago?

Mr. Armstrong.

I wanted to contact her to find out why I was discharged. I have a reason--it was because of one of the maids out there, but I'm not for sure.

Mr. Hubert.

You mean you suspect that it was on the complaint of one of the maids?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, yes; something like that--something.

Mr. Hubert.

But, you did not reach Mrs. Pierson?

Mr. Armstrong.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

So, you really don't know even now?

Mr. Armstrong.

I'm still trying to find out.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ask her at the time?

Mr. Armstrong.

I asked her at the time and was refused to be told why.

Mr. Hubert.

That was Christmas, 1961--what was your next employment?

Mr. Armstrong.

Let's see---at the Marilyn Belt Factory in January.

Mr. Hubert.

That's the place that's right opposite the sheriff's office?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right opposite the sheriff's office.

Mr. Hubert.

How long did you work for them? Commencing in January 1962.

Mr. Armstrong.

I worked for them 2 months, then I got the job at the Carousel Club with Jack and I held beth of the jobs for about a month and it got to where I had to let one go, so I let the Marilyn Belt Factory go.

Mr. Hubert.

So that you began to work at the Carousel Club in about February of 1962?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

How did you get employment with the Carousel Club?

Mr. Armstrong.

Let's go back--it wasn't in February--you see, I started to work at the Marilyn Belt Factory in February, and I worked about 2 months with the Marilyn Belt Factory--that's February and March and April--3 months, because I started to work for Jack the 1st of May, about the second day in May.

Mr. Hubert.

In 1962?

Mr. Armstrong.

In 1962.

Mr. Hubert.

Then you worked both places for about a month?

Mr. Armstrong.

For about a month.

Mr. Hubert.

Which would take you to June 1, 1962, and then you had to make a choice, so you decided to go with the Carousel Club and you left the other job?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, coming back to the question--how did you come to be employed in May of 1962 at the Carousel Club?

Mr. Armstrong.

Just walked in and he was sitting down talking to some man--I have never saw him before yes, I have he was a waiter over at the Baker Hotel.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you hear that there was an opening there?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you known Jack Ruby before?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Was there any advertisements in the paper?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Was there any sign on the door indicating that help was needed?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.
