(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong Resumed)

Mr. Hubert.
You say you recognize "Little Lynn," you have already testified' about her, I believe?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I Show you two pictures that have been marked for identification as Exhibits 5306-A and 5306-B, each of which purports to be pictures of three memo slips, and ask you if you recognize them?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; I can't.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know whose handwriting they are in?
Mr. Armstrong.
It doesn't look like Jack's handwriting.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recognize any names or telephone numbers on those memo slips?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You have looked at all six of them?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you read the messages that each contained?
Mr. Armstrong.
Oh, yes; here's one I think----
Mr. Hubert.
Now, you are talking about the memo slip on the right-hand side of the pictures as you look at it, the picture having been identified as Exhibit 5306--B. Now, will you comment on that?
Mr. Armstrong.
All right.
Mr. Hubert.
I had asked you whether the message meant anything to you. You seemed to indicate that the message on the picture I have described does indicate something to you, and now I ask you what does it indicate?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; I'm sorry. I made a mistake---it doesn't, but this one here, the one in the center, I think that's Palmer--Tom Palmer.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, you are referring to the middle slip on the picture identified as Exhibit 5306-A, and you say the message there you recognize; right?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
What makes you recognize it?
Mr. Armstrong.
The telephone number and the name.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, the memo slip that you are talking about, and I repeat for identification, that it is the middle memo slip on Exhibit No. 5306-A, apparently is addressed to Ruby because it has his name there, although one can see in the picture, can't one, that there was a word that looks like somebody started to write "Armstrong" and then stopped--right--or something?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And the date is 11-14 at 3:40, and then there was printed "while you were out Pauline [spelling] P-a-u-l- i-n-e phoned, FE 7-5992." It looks like.
And then there is a checkmark in the block "telephoned" and a checkmark in the block "please call" and the message is: "This one I couldn't tell if she was colored or white," is that correct?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, you identified that with Palmer?
Mr. Armstrong.
It looked like it.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, if you were mistaken, say so?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes; I was mistaken.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you have any recollection of that message now?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there any that you had any recognition about, any one of the six memo slips on the Exhibits 5306-A and 5306-B?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I will show you an exhibit that has been identified as Exhibit 5307-A. It is a picture of one slip of paper, and I ask you if you could identify that?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
All right; now I show you photostats of a number of pages in a book, which have been identified the other day when you first were here: "Dallas, Texas, April 14, 1964, Exhibits 5308, Deposition of Andrew Armstrong," and I ask you to look at all those pictures first, and tell me if you recognize that book at all?
Mr. Armstrong.
I've already looked at them.
