(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)

Mr. Armstrong.
see some portion of it, but when I got downtown I was surprised to see that the parade had already moved forward--further down.
Mr. Hubert.
Just for the record, what barber shop did you go to?
Mr. Armstrong.
Moore's Barber Shop on Scyene Road. I got to the club----
Mr. Hubert.
Now, before you get to that, wasn't it your job to see that the beer was kept on ice?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
And how often did you check that?
Mr. Armstrong.
Every day.
Mr. Hubert.
And when did you do it?
Mr. Armstrong.
That's the first thing I did.
Mr. Hubert.
When you came in in the morning?
Mr. Armstrong.
When I came in in the afternoon.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't have any special days to do it?
Mr. Armstrong.
I did it every day.
Mr. Hubert.
What about the delivery of the beer?
Mr. Armstrong.
Thursdays.
Mr. Hubert.
Only once a week?
Mr. Armstrong.
Once a week.
Mr. Hubert.
And what time did that take place?
Mr. Armstrong.
Anywhere from 11 on--Thursday. It was usually between 11 and 3 o'clock because I would usually leave the club at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, so you got to the Carousel about what time?
Mr. Armstrong.
About 12:15, I would say.
Mr. Hubert.
You had a key to get in, of course?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes--I went in and I had to use the restroom, and so I went to the restroom and then I heard a lot of sirens and I listened to the sirens for a second or two and they got louder and they got more sirens, so I decided I would go get my transistor and see what was going on, and that's when I heard that there had been a shooting at the President or something like that. Somebody had tried to assassinate the President, or something, and then I run in and I woke Larry up--Larry was staying there.
Mr. Hubert.
Who is Larry?
Mr. Armstrong.
Larry Crafard.
Mr. Hubert.
Where was he staying?
Mr. Armstrong.
He was sleeping in a little room there.
Mr. Hubert.
You say you went and woke him up?
Mr. Armstrong.
I woke him up.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you do it?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well--I shook him.
Mr. Hubert.
Was the door of his room closed or not?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, the door of his room was--no, it wasn't closed.
Mr. Hubert.
How long had Larry been there?
Mr. Armstrong.
How long had he been there?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Armstrong.
He had been there since October, since the last of the State Fair.
Mr. Hubert.
Tell us what you know about him.
Mr. Armstrong.
I don't know anything no more than that he was working out at tire State Fair somewhere and the first time I saw him is when Jack bought a little something a little shack or a little house or something that was built at the State Fair by Olin Lumber Company, I think it was, and 1 don't know who it was--the company that bought it, and Jack bought the lumber from 01in Lumber Company because it hadn't been paid for and he had Howard and Larry to tear it down and bring it to the club, and that's when I met Larry is when he and Howard delivered the lumber to the club.
Mr. Hubert.
Did Jack tell you that Larry was going to work there?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, he told me there was a couple of kids to help haul the lumber, but there was only Larry and when I talked to him over the phone, I called him on the phone and told him they was there with the lumber and after they finished, he told me to give Larry something and let him get a shower
