No.
Mr. Hubert.

Not friendly--just that--he didn't well, you could say they was friendly, but they didn't know each other, anything about each other's backgrounds, or anything like that.

Mr. Armstrong.
One time he came there with a couple other guys, but just once, otherwise, he was all alone.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know the other men he came with?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't remember when he came in with the other two men?
Mr. Armstrong.
No--the top picture is----
Mr. Hubert.
Wait a minute, before we leave the big man called Tiny, when was the last time you saw him, to your knowledge?
Mr. Armstrong.
Three or four nights ago---Saturday night--I think.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean this past Saturday night?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You are talking about April 11?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you see him?
Mr. Armstrong.
At the Theatre Lounge.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you work there now?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, I stopped by and say hello to a friend of mine that works there and bartends.
Mr. Hubert.
And he was over there?
Mr. Armstrong.
I have saw him in there, oh, about four times I think in the last month--I would say.
Mr. Hubert.
And prior to that, when was the last time you saw him?
Mr. Armstrong.
Prior to that--the last time I saw him was at the club.
Mr. Hubert.
When was that?
Mr. Armstrong.
Oh, I would say it was probably the last weekend before we closed.
Mr. Hubert.
He continued to come to the club, then, after the assassination?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever talk to him about Ruby's shooting Oswald?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever hear him talk to anybody else about it?
Mr. Armstrong.
No, never did. The reason why he's got to be so popular is because he is a helper--he cracks a few jokes and the M.C.'s like to talk to him because he don't get out of line when they talk to him, and he is usually called on during the spinning of the roulette wheel, or something like that, and if he won a bottle of champagne or something like that, it was a big thing.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he employed by the club?
