(Testimony of Harry N. Olsen)
Mr. Olsen.
I would say 9 or 10 o'clock.
Mr. Specter.
In the evening?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Where did you go then?
Mr. Olsen.
We drove by city hall.
Mr. Specter.
Did you stop?
Mr. Olsen.
Sir?
Mr. Specter.
Did you stop at city hall?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Where did you go after dropping by city hall?
Mr. Olsen.
We drove by where the President was assassinated.
Mr. Specter.
Was Kay with you at. that time?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe she was.
Mr. Specter.
Where did you go next?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe we went to her house.
Mr. Specter.
How long did you stay there?
Mr. Olsen.
Oh, I don't remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did you contact anybody after you learned Oswald was shot by Ruby?
Mr. Olsen.
Sir?
Mr. Specter.
Did you contact anybody after you learned that Oswald was shot by Ruby?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe I called the police department and asked them if they wanted me to work.
Mr. Specter.
Aside from that call, did you contact anybody?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And when you called the police department what did they tell you?
Mr. Olsen.
They didn't need me to work.
Mr. Specter.
Do you recall who you talked to on that occasion?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Has Kay worked for Ruby at any time after the assassination?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
When did she work for Ruby last preceding the assassination?
Mr. Olsen.
Thursday, I would say.
Mr. Specter.
When did you end your employment with the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. Olsen.
The latter part of December.
Mr. Specter.
What was the reason for leaving the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. Olsen.
I wanted to come to California.
Mr. Specter.
Nobody at the Dallas Police Department asked you to leave?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Who asked you to leave the Police Department?
Mr. Olsen.
Chief Curry.
Mr. Specter.
What was the reason for that?
Mr. Olsen.
I was out of sick time; in other words, you are allotted so much sick time a year, and he didn't want to extend me any more.
Mr. Specter.
Was that the only reason why he asked you to terminate your employment with the police department?
Mr. Olsen.
That was one of the reasons.
Mr. Specter.
Was there any other reason?
(Long pause.)
Mr. Olsen.
I don't remember exactly what was said.
Mr. Specter.
Was there any special reason why you went to California?
Mr. Olsen.
We heard the eliminate was nice out here.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know a Bertha Cheek? Does that name ring a bell with you?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Who is she?
Mr. Olsen.
I have heard the name. Can you help me a little bit with it?
Mr. Specter.
Well, do you recollect anything about her at this moment?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir; I have heard the name, though.
