(Testimony of Nancy Perrin Rich)
Mrs. Rich.
Rayburn, Detective Rayburn, at his used Car lot, or whether he was with Al's Automotive. One of the two places.
Mr. Hubert.
What sort of a job did he have?
Mrs. Rich.
Mechanic. Subsequently my husband went up and Jack Ruby threw him out of the club. My husband was going to talk to him. And I found out about it. Ruby had already kicked him out of the club. And then I disuaded him from going back further. I said, "Forget it, just let it drop."
Mr. Hubert.
Did you have any other employment in Dallas after this altercation with Ruby?
Mrs. Rich.
Yes, I did. At the--I think it was called just The Chalet.
Mr. Hubert.
Where was it located?
Mrs. Rich.
Again I can't remember. Again it was on the other side of Dallas. It was outside in fact, I don't thing it was right in Dallas proper. It wasn't in Dallas proper, I know.
Mr. Hubert.
What sort of work did you do there?
Mrs. Rich.
This was a dining place. And I was a hostess. And in the place they had this little booth, and they had a dart game, and you could throw darts and win prizes, and I also ran that place for them.
Mr. Hubert.
Who was your employer there?
Mrs. Rich.
Again, I cannot recall his name.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were you there?
Mrs. Rich.
Until I left Dallas--probably a month. Then we left to go back to New Orleans.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were you unemployed--that is to say, what period was there between the time you left Ruby and the time you got this employment at The Chalet?
Mrs. Rich.
Between the time I left Ruby and the time I went to The Chalet, about 5 or 6 days. And then I quit The Chalet a little before we left. And, of course, prior to going to Ruby's I wasn't employed. Then there was a period of about a week, week and a-half, while I was at Ruby's, all of a sudden he decided he didn't need a bartender. Then I am recalled back.
Mr. Hubert.
You left The Chalet about a week before you left Dallas?
Mrs. Rich.
Probably a little more than that. Maybe 2, 2 1/2 weeks.
Mr. Hubert.
Why did you leave The Chalet?
Mrs. Rich.
Well, for one thing he was going to close down for renovations. And then he said, "no, I am not; I am going to sell out." And he decided to close it down anyway.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you work for a place called the Theater Lounge?
Mrs. Rich.
Barney Weinstein--yes, I did.
Mr. Hubert.
When?
Mrs. Rich.
That was during the time I had left Ruby and then went back to Ruby.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did you work for the Theater Lounge?
Mrs. Rich.
No more than a week or two. I forgot all about working for Barney. I have to laugh. His brother owned the other stripping place in town, right next to Ruby, upstairs. And they had this amateur show, these amateur strippers. Barney was going to promote me as a stripper. No thanks.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. Now, before we get into any other matter, I want to go back to the letter that you handed me which was dated October 25, 1963. It is addressed, "To Whom it May Concern:"
It purports to be signed by Oscar Kistle, chief deputy, district attorney. It is on stationery of the office of the District Attorney of Sacramento County. I have had a Xerox copy made of it. I have returned the original to you, is that right?
Mrs. Rich.
That is correct.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I am marking the Xerox copy of that document for identification by writing on the right-hand margin the following words; to wit: "Washington, D.C., June 2, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, Deposition of Nancy Perrin Rich," under which I have signed my name, and in order that the record may show that there is no misunderstanding about it, I wonder if you would sign your name as I 'have mine.
Mrs. Rich.
Yes; I would. Note for the record that on the left-hand margin I signed "Nancy E. Perrin Rich."
