(Testimony of Kay Helen Olsen)
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, I didn't work for a couple of weeks there, so it was over that period, you know, a couple of weeks.
Mr. Specter.
When is your best recollection, then, as to when you went back to the club to get your clothes?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, I guess a week later.
Mr. Specter.
Whom did you see?
Mrs. Olsen.
The bartender let me in.
Mr. Specter.
What was his name?
Mrs. Olsen.
Andrew.
Mr. Specter.
What did you say to him, if anything?
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, he didn't have too much to say to me. I think they thought I was a traitor for not sticking with them, you know.
Mr. Specter.
Were you crying at the time?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; I think I was.
Mr. Specter.
Why were you crying?
Mrs. Olsen.
I felt sorry for Jack at that time, if I remember rightly.
Mr. Specter.
Did you say----
Mrs. Olsen.
Just a minute, I'm Just trying to think. I think Tom Howard, Jack Ruby's attorney, was up there at that time, and he got me in tears, I think.
Mr. Specter.
How did he get you in tears, so to speak?
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, I was upset anyway, and nervous, and, well, he just talked about Jack said hello to all of us and he didn't feel bad about me quitting, anything I wanted to do was all right, not to worry about it, you know, worry about quitting. You see, most of the girls stayed.
Mr. Specter.
Was anybody else there at the time you went back to get your' clothes?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
But you recollect seeing attorney Tom Howard and bartender Andy?
Mrs. Olsen.
I think that was the same day. I'm not sure.
Mr. Specter.
But were you back there on any other day?
Mrs. Olsen.
No. The way I am confused, one evening we were up there.
Mr. Specter.
Was that New Year's Eve?
Mrs. Olsen.
Before I got my clothes. No; it was before that.
Mr. Specter.
When you say you were up there, whom do you mean?
Mrs. Olsen.
Alice and I, a girl friend.
Mr. Specter.
What is Alice's last name?
Mrs. Olsen.
I think she quit, too, at that time.
Mr. Specter.
What is Alice's last name?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh
Mr. Specter.
Not Alice Nichol?
Mrs. Olsen.
Alexander.
Mr. Specter.
Was it Alice Ntchol?
Mrs. Olsen.
No; Alice Alexander, I think it was. She was a waitress.
Mr. Specter.
Where does she live?
Mrs. Olsen.
Grand Prairie.
Mr. Specter.
And when was it that you and she were there together?
Mrs. Olsen.
I can't remember. It was some evening.
Mr. Specter.
Whom did you see when you were there?
Mrs. Olsen.
It seems like that was the night the attorney was up there. I went up to get my paycheck; that's right; I went up to get my paycheck. That's the night I was up there.
Mr. Specter.
Did Mr. Ruby pay you by check or by cash ?
Mrs. Olsen.
Check, and then we would sign the check and he would give us the cash, you know, like that.
Mr. Specter.
And who was there on that occasion?
Mrs. Olsen.
What occasion?
Mr. Specter.
When you went to get your paycheck.
Mrs. Olsen.
That was when Alice came with me. I'm pretty sure that this was the night that Tom Howard was up there, and that was the night that I was crying, I think.
Mr. Specter.
Was there anybody there besides you and Alice and Tom Howard?
