(Testimony of Kay Helen Olsen)

Mr. Olsen.
No; I think Andrew was even out of the office quite a bit.
Mr. Specter.
Did you have any occasion to leave Dallas soon after November 24th, the Sunday when Oswald was shot?
Mrs. Olsen.
How soon? What do you mean?
Mr. Specter.
Within a few days?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Did you go to work in Oklahoma City?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; that was about--I think it was about 2 weeks after. I wanted to make some money for Christmas.
Mr. Specter.
For whom did you work in Oklahoma City?
Mrs. Olsen.
It was the Kings Club. I can't remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did you have an arrangement to go up there to work?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; an agent got me a booking.
Mr. Specter.
When did you make that arrangement to go there to work?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, within that 2 weeks afterward.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see Tammi True in Oklahoma City?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; I stayed with her; we shared a room.
Mr. Specter.
What, if anything, did you tell her?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, we discussed a lot of things about it.
Mr. Specter.
What did you talk about with respect to Jack Ruby?
Mrs. Olsen.
What a crazy thing he did. And that I would never go back to work there. That was about it.
Mr. Specter.
How long did you stay with Tammi True?
Mrs. Olsen.
Three weeks.
Mr. Specter.
Where did she live?
Mrs. Olsen.
We had a motel. It was the club owner's motel where he rented to the entertainers. I can't remember the name of it.
Mr. Specter.
Was there any other reason why you left Dallas to go to Oklahoma City?
Mrs. Olsen.
No; just to make some money for Christmas.
Mr. Specter.
Did Mr. Olsen have an accident at about that time?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; while I was up there.
Mr. Specter.
What happened to him exactly?
Mrs. Olsen.
He totaled his car; hit a telephone pole.
Mr. Specter.
When you say "totaled," you mean a total wreck?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
What injuries, if any, did he sustain?
Mrs. Olsen.
I think he broke two bones in his leg and he separated his shoulder and he had multiple chest injuries, black eye.
Mr. Specter.
Was he hospitalized?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Where?
Mrs. Olsen.
Methodist Hospital.
Mr. Specter.
Why did you later go to California?
Mrs. Olsen.
Why did we come out here?
Mr. Specter.
Yes.
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, we had no desire to stay in Dallas. He used up all his sick time on the police department, and, well, we wanted to come out here a year--well, last August we were going to come out here and we didn't have enough money, and then he got his settlement from the car and I saved a little money and so we just came out here. We always wanted to come out to California.
Mr. Specter.
Going back to the Friday of .the assassination and the following Saturday and the following Sunday when Oswald was shot, during that time did you see or talk to Little Lynn?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
During that time did you see or talk to Tammi True?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
During that time did you see or talk to Bruce Carlin?
Mrs. Olsen.
Who?
Mr. Specter.
Bruce Carlin.
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know who that is.
