Mr. Hubert.

Can you help us in ascertaining why you just walked in to get the job?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, it was on a Saturday morning and I decided I would go look for me a night job some place.

Mr. Armstrong.

What I wanted was a night job, so I decided the club would be the best thing, so I went to three or four clubs, and when I went to Field and Commerce, I was going to go to H. L. Green's for a cup of coffee or something like that and I started back up Commerce and I saw the door open there and I just pulled over and went in.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you had tried three or four other places before you went to the Carousel?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

On this same Saturday morning?

Mr. Armstrong.

On this same date.

Mr. Hubert.

And that was about the 2d of May, I think you said, in 1962?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right--about the 2d of May, I'm pretty sure.

Mr. Hubert.

It was in the first part of May, do you think?

Mr. Armstrong.

Pardon?

Mr. Hubert.

It was about the first part of May, you think, and it was a Saturday morning?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

I have a calendar for 1962 before me, and it shows the first Saturday in May was the 5th.

Mr. Armstrong.

It was the 5th?

Mr. Hubert.

I'm showing you that calendar for 1962; does that help you any?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, you see why I said the 2d was later on, we tried to figure I was signing a couple of checks about 2 weeks later and we were trying to figure out what date I started so I could fill out a W.-2 form and we got to counting the days and we counted back to the 2d, so this was on a Saturday--it was on a Saturday, so it must have been the 5th. You see, things always happen so fast when you was around Jack because he was just like this--flighty.

Mr. Hubert.

The day you walked in there, he was in the Carousel--he was in the office?

Mr. Armstrong.

No, he was sitting down there, Just sitting in the club at a table.

Mr. Hubert.

Was he alone?

Mr. Armstrong.

He was talking to a waiter from across--it was a waiter across the street which worked up there that night, that Saturday night, and he never worked there any more, but that only one night that I know of.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, tell us how you introduced yourself and how he came to employ you, and so forth?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, I asked him if he needed any help at night and he said as a matter of fact he did and he said, "I've been looking for a clean-cut young man like you," and so he said a few things--he asked me had I ever been in any kind of trouble and naturally I told him, "No." I always tell people "No," unless it is absolutely necessary, so he said to come back that night, so I went back that night and worked.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you fix your salary at that time?

Mr. Armstrong.

No, not exactly. We fixed the salary the next day, no, the Monday--the following Monday.

Mr. Hubert.

And what was that salary?

Mr. Armstrong.

That salary was $40 or $45 a week.

Mr. Hubert.

Did it remain that way or did you get an increase?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, it remained that way.

Mr. Hubert.

You never got any more than that?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; just plus tips.

Mr. Hubert.

What was your job around there?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, at first it was just bartending and then it got to be---it was bartending, then it got to be straightening the place up a little bit because there was another man that came in, Howard Haynes.

Mr. Hubert.

Howard Haynes?
