Oh, seven or eight times.
Mr. Specter.
Were you always present on those occasions?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
What was the purpose of Jack Ruby's visiting Kay?
Mr. Olsen.
Sometimes he would be mad about something, and mad at an employee, or sometimes he would stop by for breakfast after he closed his club.
Mr. Specter.
Was there ever any romantic connection between Jack Ruby and Kay?
Mr. Olsen.
Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Specter.
It was just a cordial relationship which would lead him to stop over and pay her a visit and have breakfast or something to that effect?

No, I don't.
Mr. Specter.
Did Jack Ruby ever do any favors for you, Mr. Olsen?
Mr. Olsen.

Well, I asked him to let Kay off sometimes.
Mr. Specter.
Did he honor that request?
Mr. Olsen.
Most of the time.
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever ask him to do anything besides letting Kay off on occasion?
Mr. Olsen.
