(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
That he could do that?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
On these 8 or 10 visits that you made to Jack, he never had discussed with you one single aspect of the killing of Oswald, is that right?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, never did.
Mr. Hubert.
What was the purpose of your visits, generally, then?
Mr. Armstrong.
Oh, just, I guess to see how he was doing, to say, "Hello" and to send him messages that the girls had sent him and carry his mail down there if he had any addressed to him personally.
Mr. Hubert.
How would you handle the mail?
Mr. Armstrong.
I Would give it to Mr. Decker.
Mr. Hubert.
The sheriff first?
Mr. Armstrong.
To the sheriff.
Mr. Hubert.
Has anybody given you any money other than what you have earned?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You have had your regular salary all the time that you worked for the Carousel until it closed?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it more or less than you were receiving before?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, it was a little more.
Mr. Hubert.
What was it?
Mr. Armstrong.
It was $60.
Mr. Hubert.
Instead of $45?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Other than that money, did you receive any money from Ralph Paul or any of the brothers and sisters of Ruby?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Or, from any other source?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, no more than tips, you know, like that.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes, I understand that, but I mean no other sums of money in excess of $5?
Mr. Armstrong.
Pardon?
Mr. Hubert.
No other sums of money in excess of $5?
Mr. Armstrong.
$5?
Mr. Hubert.
Well, let's put it this way--you received your salary and you received tips?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you get any single tip that was over $5 at any time?
Mr. Armstrong.
Oh, yes; they had single tips--I always have. Certain customers come in lots of times and give me $6 or $8 and sometimes $10.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, would you say that $10 was the highest?
Mr. Armstrong.
Ten was about the highest.
Mr. Hubert.
You haven't received by way of tips any sum, say, more than about $10?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, that was 1963 or 1962?
Mr. Hubert.
No, I'm not talking about that far back.
Mr. Armstrong.
No--you mean after the assassination?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
I understand you to say you are having a hard time now, is that right?
Mr. Armstrong.
Very hard.
Mr. Hubert.
You have no money saved?
Mr. Armstrong.
There was--it's gone, you know, a few bucks that I had saved. In fact, I have been paying bills.
Mr. Hubert.
How much was that money?
Mr. Armstrong.
That I had saved?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, it amount to about a couple of hundred dollars, I guess.
