Mr. Hubert.

Describe his condition at that time?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, he was still in a sad mood, you know, in a sorrowful mood, you know.

Mr. Hubert.

Was he crying?

Mr. Armstrong.

No, he wasn't crying this time.

Mr. Hubert.

You were in a sorrowful mood, too, I take it?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Would you say that his mood and yours were about the same?

Mr. Armstrong.

No---my sorrowful mood was sort of on the inside mostly, and his was in his face and in the way he was worried about the things. He seemed like to be more worried than ever."

Mr. Hubert.

Then, how--that is to say--what was he doing that gave you the impression that he was more worried than ever? You have told us he had a sad look on his face?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, he was--he just felt like it seemed like he was just disturbed over what had happened, you know, over the assassination.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, of course, you are telling us about the mental impression you formed, which is perfectly all right, but it would be helpful to us if you could give us facts upon which you base your opinion, you see? Now, you have given us one fact--he had a sad look on his face. If you could tell us the things that he said or did.

Mr. Armstrong.

I don't recall anything that he said that day, no more than--he said the club was going to be closed and immediately I got on the phone and started to making phone calls.

Mr. Hubert.

To all the people who were concerned?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right, to all the people.

Mr. Hubert.

And the object was to tell them not to come in that night?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes--I know now--and it was around 6 o'clock, because one of the girls was getting ready to come down to town, one of the waitresses. They had to be there at 7:30, so it was around 6:30--between 6 and 6:30 when I was making the phone calls.

Mr. Hubert.

I think you said you tried to call Karen Bennett Carlin then, but you couldn't reach her?

Mr. Armstrong.

Couldn't reach her, and I believe Jack said, "I will call her later."

Mr. Hubert.

You mean he undertook to call her?

Mr. Armstrong.

He told me to keep trying and he would try to call her, too, and he left and went home.

Mr. Hubert.

What time did he leave?

Mr. Armstrong.

He left about 7 o'clock, between 7 and 7:30.

Mr. Hubert.

So, he was there roughly between an hour and an hour and a half?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

You were making all these phone calls?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes, and he asked me to stay there until about 8 o'clock, just in case any customers called and if they did, to tell them we would be closed until Monday, and he called me back and he said, "What time are you leaving?"
I said, "Well, 8 o'clock, I want to go home." He said, "Well, will you stay on to 107" I said, "What should I stay here until 10 o'clock for?"

Mr. Hubert.

Where was he calling from, do you know?

Mr. Armstrong.

He was calling from home, I'm pretty sure it was from home.

Mr. Hubert.

What gives you that impression?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, because he had said, "If anything come up, call me."

Mr. Hubert.

To call him at home?

Mr. Armstrong.

He just said, "Call me," so--he always just said, "Call me" when he was at home and if he was not at home, he would always give me a number.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, when he said, "If anything happens, call me," you knew that that meant he was at home, because that was the custom?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right, and so we got into a discussion of whether I should stay there until 10 o'clock or should I leave at 8 o'clock, and I said, "Well, I'm
