(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)

Mr. Armstrong.
No; that's about right. He came in about 5 minutes after they announced the death of the President.
Mr. Hubert.
And he stayed about an hour?
Mr. Armstrong.
And he stayed about an hour.
Mr. Hubert.
And made these various calls and then left?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right. Now, what time was the death of the President; do you have that?
Mr. Hubert.
Well, suppose we assume it was approximately 1:30 p.m.
Mr.ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You would think, then, if that is so, he left about 2:35 p.m.?
Mr. Armstrong.
Something like that.
Mr. Hubert.
Prior to his leaving, then, did he give you any instructions or tell you what to do?
Mr. Armstrong.
He said that the club was going to be closed until Monday and not to mention it to anybody connected with the other clubs because he, himself, was pretty sure that they wouldn't close up; his competitors didn't get along-- they didn't get along.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he tell you why Monday?
Mr. Armstrong.
Why Monday?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Armstrong.
No; he didn't tell me why Monday. He just said that the club would be closed and for me to call everyone.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he mention Monday that it would be closed Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night?
Mr. Armstrong.
He said the club would be closed Friday and Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he say why he was picking those 3 days?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; he didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
What other instructions did he give you?
Mr. Armstrong.
That's all.
Mr. Hubert.
What about notifying the girls?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, I notified them; yes; he gave me the instructions to notify them--all the acts and the waitresses.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you call Little Lynn--I think her name is Karen Bennett Carlin?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; she came down that night, I'm pretty sure. I think I couldn't get ahold of her.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you try to call her?
Mr. Armstong.
I tried.
Mr. Hubert.
But you didn't reach her?
Mr. Armstrong.
I didn't reach her.
Mr. Hubert.
And you say she came down that night?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
That Friday night.
Mr. Armstrong.
I think, and Friday night the club was closed and she went back home.
Mr. Hubert.
But you don't know that of your own knowledge?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; not to my own knowledge.
Mr. Hubert.
But you are positive that you did not reach Karen--Little Lynn--Bennett to call her?
Mr. Armstrong.
Sure I didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know her husband, Bruce at all?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes; he was up to the club quite often until----
Mr. Hubert.
Until what?
Mr. Armstrong.
He was up to the club quite often after the assassination until I suggested that he didn't come around too often because of some business there; Little Lynn was always getting into something with the other girls, and she got him there to take up for her.
Mr. Hubert.
This occurred after the assassination when you were managing the club?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
