Mr. Armstrong.

leaving at 8 o'clock," and he said, "Well, just get on out of the club and don't come back no more." And slammed the phone down.

Mr. Hubert.

That was about a half hour after he left, wasn't it?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right, but I stayed there until 8 o'clock, like I said I was going to stay, and I closed the club up and went home.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you hear from him any more that day?

Mr. Armstrong.

No

Mr. Hubert.

Now, on Sunday, did you go to the club?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, I had planned on going to the club---I was planning on looking for another job Monday morning, because I said--"This is it." I had already made up my mind then I wasn't going back to work there, no matter what happened.

Mr. Hubert.

Why?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, I just got fed up.

Mr. Hubert.

But this had happened, I think you said, 35 times or so?

Mr. Armstrong.

Something like that.

Mr. Hubert.

What you mean to say is that the last time is the straw that broke the camel's back sort of thing?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

But you had definitely made up your mind that this time you weren't going back?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

And that this time you were going to start looking for a job on Monday morning?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you go to the club on Sunday?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes, after I heard about it--well, I was listening to the radio that morning--I was not looking at television.

Mr. Hubert.

You were home then?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right; it was Sunday morning?

Mr. Hubert.

That's right.

Mr. Armstrong.

When I heard about the shooting of Oswald and they said it was a well-known nightclub owner, and so I got a phone call--no, then, it come on the radio that it was Jack Ruby and I got a phone call is when I found out it was on television.

Mr. Hubert.

Who called you?

Mr. Armstrong.

A friend of mine--William Morris. He used to help me down at the club some Saturday nights when we had a big convention in--he would come down and help me out at the bar.

Mr. Hubert.

And then what--he called you and told you it was Ruby?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; I knowed it was Ruby--they said that on the radio.

Mr. Hubert.

Then, Morris called you and told you it was on television?

Mr. Armstrong.

He said, "Did you see it on television?" And I said, "No; I didn't see it on television." He said, "Well, turn the television on." And so I turned the television on and they rerun the shooting, and what I saw on the TV was a rerun.

Mr. Hubert.

I understand.

Mr. Armstrong.

And so---about--sometime during that day, I forget what time it was, I called Ralph Paul.

Mr. Hubert.

What time was it actually, and where was it from?

Mr. Armstrong.

From home.

Mr. Hubert.

That's a long-distance call, wasn't it?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

So, there would be a record of that?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right, and he said

Mr. Hubert.

Let's do it this way---can you tell us how long after you saw the rerun that you called Paul?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; I don't know whether it was before I went down to the club or after I went down to the club.

Mr. Hubert.

You said you had called from your home?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes--you see, when I went down to the club I wasn't gone but an hour.
