(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
This settlement you made with him every night was really before the club closed?
Mr. Armstrong.
The settlement was for the bar; on week nights, you didn't have any bar which was after 12:15 unless it was near-beer or anything like that, and I usually checked the bar---checked my receipts and count my money--started about a quarter to I and if there were any sales after I left he would take them himself.
Mr. Hubert.
And that settlement that you and he went through was in his office, I take it? Or right at the bar?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; you see, I would wrap all the money up and put it in a bag and wrap a rubberband around it. The change is all that was left, with a slip in the register of how much change it was.
Mr. Hubert.
Did the register record the sales?
Mr. Armstrong.
The register recorded the sales.
Mr. Hubert.
What was done with the slip of recordation?
Mr. Armstrong.
It was kept in the files.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he ever check to see whether the amount of sales checked out with the amount of money that you turned over to him?
Mr. Armstrong.
Every day; if it was a nickel short he would call me over the phone or he would tell me about it when I called him.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, this checkout would not be done when you turned over the money to him at night, but, rather, the next day?
Mr. Armstrong.
You see, I checked it myself.
Mr. Hubert.
Against the cash register?
Mr. Armstrong.
Against the cash register.
Mr. Hubert.
And it was supposed to balance out?
Mr. Armstrong.
And I gave him the receipts, and anytime I walked up and gave him a receipt, if I was at least a dollar short or anything like that, I would say, "It's a dollar short," and just go ahead on. I would just hand him the receipts and he would usually stick them in his coat pocket and that's the way it always would happen.
Mr. Hubert.
What about Sundays; did you come over then or did you call him the same way?
Mr. Armstrong.
I would call him on Sundays or he would call me. He would either tell me on Saturday night to wake him up a certain time on Sunday morning if he was going to get up early; if not, he would call me. He knew would always leave anywhere from between 11 and 12 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know where he lived during the time you worked for him?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, he lived once on Marsalis, I think it was, right around the zoo, and I think he lived on Ewing.
Mr. Hubert.
Those are the only two places you know of?
Mr. Armstrong.
Those are the only two places I know of.
Mr. Hubert.
Had you ever been to either apartment?
Mr. Armstrong.
I went to both of them---once each.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he living with anybody at either one?
Mr. Armstrong.
The only one that I ever knowed that lived with him was George Senator.
Mr. Hubert.
But you didn't see George Senator working there, did you; you didn't see George Senator living with him?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
What you know about George Senator living there comes from what people told you?
Mr. Armstrong.
From what people told me, and I called and he answered the phones and things like that, and Jack mentioned the fact that George kept all the food around and got him to eating again. You see, he usually was on a diet and certain foods he didn't eat because he was on a diet, but if they were around him in his refrigerator he would eat them.
Mr. Hubert.
Was Jack a pretty strong man?
Mr. Armstrong.
He went to the gym quite often and exercised; is that what you mean--physical?
