(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)
Mr. Armstrong.
That's the reason I'm not giving you any definite time, because like when I had my interview with Mr. Peggs, definitely--any definite time, and that was right after the assassination--just a few days after.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. Anyway, the way we have left it is that you left at approximately 4:30, having called the girls and told them that the club would be closed that night?
Mr. Armstrong.
And I reached Little Lynn that day.
Mr. Hubert.
You did reach Little Lynn that day?
Mr. Armstrong.
That day, but the next Saturday, I didn't; the Saturday, I didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
So you did call Little Lynn in Fort Worth; is that right?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
And told her that the club would be closed Friday?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
And told her that--what did you tell her with reference to Saturday?
Mr. Armstrong.
I said that we would be closed tonight, and I didn't say anything other than that.
Mr. Hubert.
Then, about 4:30 you left?
Mr. Armstrong.
I left.
Mr. Hubert.
To go home?
Mr. Armstrong.
I go home.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you hear from Ruby any more that night?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; I didn't hear from him.
Mr. Hubert.
Was Larry Crafard at the club when you left?
Mr. Armstrong.
He was there when I left.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever see him again?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
What was the nature of the conversation between you and Larry after Ruby left about 2:30 on that Friday?
Mr. Armstrong.
After he left about 2:30?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; you said you and Larry were there between 2:30 and 4:30 when you left?
Mr. Armstrong.
You see, Jack left and Larry was walking up and down the aisle there shaking his head and--well, he was doing nothing--I would just try to get up and try to finish cleaning up, which I did, and it didn't take too much because we had gone through the procedure of cleaning up while we was listening to the news, and that was from a Thursday night and we don't have that many people in there on Thursday night--Thursday night and Sunday night are bad nights.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you and Larry talk after Ruby left?
Mr. Armstrong.
I imagine we said a few words to each other; Larry went out and ate.
Mr. Hubert.
While you were there?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did he stay?
Mr. Armstrong.
Oh, he stayed about 20 minutes, I guess, and when he got back Jack came back in about 10 minutes later.
Mr. Hubert.
You were still there?
Mr. Armstrong.
Pardon; I was still there.
Mr. Hubert.
I thought you told me that you had not seen Jack any more that day?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, I'm still thinking that--I'm still thinking when I had not seen Jack on Friday--when I left, I left Jack and Larry in the club.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, now, we have to revise this, because I want you to get your best recollection in here.
Mr. Armstrong.
You see, this is the reason why I know; I had some boards and some bricks to carry home, and I made a phone call to a brick company over on McKinney and told the fellow if he would bring my bricks over to my house he said, "Yes"--it was 25 bricks, these boards and bricks for me to build a corner shelf, and I had painted the boards in the club and I remember Jack asked me what was I going to do with those boards and I told him the layout
