(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
And any of those names--Betty MacDonald or Nancy Jo Mooney mean nothing to you?
Mr. Armstrong.
There was a girl named Nancy who worked at the club for a few nights or a few weeks--I don't recall. There were so many girls came there some of them I don't even remember their names, but I don't know whether it was Jo Mooney or what her last name was---as a matter of fact, I don't even recall how she looked, but I remember writing the name Nancy as a waitress.
Mr. Hubert.
Did they have a Polaroid camera at the club?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
What was it used for?
Mr. Armstong.
To make pictures of the twisting, customers doing the twist on the stage, which the M.C. would use to make a joke with them--and give the customers the picture.
Mr. Hubert.
Who operated that camera?
Mr. Armstrong.
I did.
Mr. Hubert.
Did Larry Crafard do so also?
Mr. Armstrong.
One Sunday night, I think he did--I remember showing him how to operate it.
Mr. Hubert.
Were those the only pictures that were allowed to be taken in there?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever hear of any other photographer?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well--there was----
Mr. Hubert.
Who would come in and take pictures?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, there was this magazine that came in to make some shots, but they required--that was for the magazine article did on the Carousel Club, which, anybody that appeared in the picture that was a customer signed a release on that picture, or if they did not sign a release on the picture, it couldn't be used.
Mr. Hubert.
When did that take place?
Mr. Armstrong.
That took place sometime between the last of October and the first of November. Larry was there--- he came there the last of October--it must have been the first of November.
Mr. Hubert.
Must have been around the. first of November--did he stay just 1 night?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, no; 1 week.
Mr. Hubert.
What was the man's name, do you know?
Mr. Armstrong.
Offhand, I can't recall his name.
Mr. Hubert.
Was his name Rocco?
Mr. Armstrong.
Rocco; that's right.
Mr. Hubert.
And he took a series of pictures?
Mr. Armstrong.
He took a series of pictures.
Mr. Hubert.
He stayed about a week and then left?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
But other than that, there were no pictures taken?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, no other pictures.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Jimmy Rhodes?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Who was he?
Mr. Armstrong.
He's a photographer.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he come around?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he take pictures?
Mr. Armstrong.
Of the girls--usually at his studio. If he made any at the club, it was not during business. It was all right for anybody--there was lots of pictures made, you know, like during the day, if the girls wanted to come up and pose for the photographers and things like that, that was okay, but when I said no other pictures were made in the club, I was speaking of during business.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, there was no commercial photographer there who would take the pictures of the patrons and sell them to them; is that right?
