(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)
Mr. Armstrong.
key. He said Larry had left it and left a note and just said thank Jack for everything, and that's all.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean a written note?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, Ben, the man at the garage, told you that Larry had left?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he tell you what time he left?
Mr. Armstrong.
He said "Early this morning," that's all he said.
Mr. Hubert.
He didn't give you any time?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
And he said that he had left the key and a written note?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
Saying to thank Jack for everything?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
That he was leaving?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where was the written note?
Mr. Armstrong.
With the key--just a little piece of paper--I think it was an envelope tore up or something like that.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see it?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
What did you do with it?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, I don't know--I guess I must have throwed it away because only thing on it was "Thank Jack." I read it to Jack on the phone and I guess I must have throwed it in the trash by the phone there.
Mr. Hubert.
And when you got upstairs, did you call Jack as usual?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
He was at his house?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
That would have been about I or a little after?
Mr. Armstrong.
About 10 after, I would say.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you find him then, his attitude, and so forth?
Mr. Armstrong.
He said when I told him about Larry, he said, "I guess he wanted to be with his people through all this."
Mr. Hubert.
He wanted to be through with what?
Mr. Armstrong.
He said, "I guess he wanted to be with his people through this,"--you know--through the assassination. So, we didn't say anything else--he didn't say anything else except he said, "I'll see you later."
Mr. Hubert.
You say you read him the note?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
And he told you to throw it away?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, he didn't tell me to throw it away.
Mr. Hubert.
But you did do it?
Mr. Armstrong.
I did.
Mr. Hubert.
As far as you know, the note is not in existence right now?
Mr. Armstrong.
As far as I know.
Mr. Hubert.
You actually looked at it?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you read it in fact to Jack?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Give us your best recollection of precisely what the note said.
Mr. Armstrong.
It just said, "Thanks, Jack, for everything."
Mr. Hubert.
Did It have a signature on it?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it in his handwriting?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes, it was in his handwriting.
Mr. Hubert.
You recognized his handwriting?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know where Larry's people were at that time?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; I didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
Did Jack know?
