(Testimony of Kay Helen Olsen)
Mr. Specter.
Do you know Bertha Cheek?
Mrs. Olsen.
Is this who they call Aunt Bertha, the one that works at the Colony Club?
Mr. Specter.
I am not able to say.
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, that's the only Bertha I know. I have worked with her.
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever know of any Bertha Cheek who operated an apartment house?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know Eugene Smith?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know whether Jack Ruby was ever a member of any subversive organization which advocated the forceful overthrow of the U.S. Government?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know whether any of his family of friends was ever a member of such an organization?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know that either.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know anything about Ruby's trip to Cuba?
Mrs. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know anything about Mr. Ruby's attitude towards the John Birch Society?
Mrs. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know anything about Mr. Ruby's attitude towards the Minutemen?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know what that means.
Mr. Specter.
Do you have anything to add which you think might be helpful in any way to the President's Commission?
Mrs. Olsen.
No. I wish I could help you, but that's about all I can remember, just as an employee and that's about it.
Mr. Specter.
Before the oath was administered to you, that is, before I swore you in, did you and I have a very brief conversation about the subject matter that I would ask you about during this deposition?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And did you answer the questions for me at that time in the same way that you have on the record here this afternoon?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Mrs. Olsen, we permit the witnesses to read the depositions and to sign them if they wish to do so, and during the course of the deposition with Mr. Olsen, it was concluded that he would read and sign his deposition, so this transcript, which is the typing up of the questions and answers, will be made available to you to read and sign.
Mrs. Olsen.
Okay.
Mr. Specter.
And that concludes the deposition and we thank you very much for coming here today.
Mrs. Olsen.
All right.
