Mrs. Helmick.

you. He was Jew or something and I couldn't understand him, so I just didn't talk to him.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you feel any hostility toward him?

Mrs. Helmick.

No, I felt he had it toward me. He made me feel that way.

Mr. Griffin.

When did you first begin to get that impression?

Mrs. Helmick.

The first day I started working for him.

Mr. Griffin.

What time of the day was the conversation on Sunday that you overheard?

Mrs. Helmick.

It was before Oswald died. It was about 20 minutes, I guess, after he was shot, because everybody else already knew it, and they was calling Ralph and telling him about it.
As soon as he found out about it, he called Tammi on the telephone, and Tammi came down and they left together.

Mr. Griffin.

Was there any indication from Tammi that she had seen Jack the night before?

Mrs. Helmick.

I don't remember. I can't remember if Ralph had said that "I saw Tammi the day before", or not, but he told us that, I believe he told us that he saw Jack that night.

Mr. Griffin.

I understand that your recollection is that oh Sunday he told you that he had seen Jack on Saturday night?

Mrs. Helmick.

I believe he did. I don't remember. It's been too long ago.

Mr. Griffin.

Who have you told this story to besides the FBI and people here in this room?

Mrs. Helmick.

I told it to my husband the day that it happened. He was there. As soon as I got the gossip I went and told him. That is all it was to me.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you tell anybody else that you recall?

Mrs. Helmick.

I told my whole family about the telephone call and about what happened over there, and I guess everyone knew it.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you tell any of your friends?

Mrs. Helmick.

If we got to talking about the subject, I did.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember any particular girl friends that you might have told it to?

Mrs. Helmick.

Girl friend?

Mr. Griffin.

Or boy friends?

Mrs. Helmick.

I Was talking to Joyce Bradley. I was talking to her yesterday on the telephone and told her about the letter that you all had sent me, and told her what I just told you.

Mr. Griffin.

But I mean shortly after this happened.

Mrs. Helmick.

Oh, well, my family, and I guess, well, I wrote to Don's relatives in Baltimore, Md., right after it happened and I told them I worked for him, and told them what was going on down here on TV and everything.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you tell them about this conversation that you overheard?

Mrs. Helmick.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

What is the name of that relative?

Mrs. Helmick.

Let's see, Rosemary Helmick.

Mr. Griffin.

Where does she live?

Mrs. Helmick.

In Baltimore, Md.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you have her address?

Mrs. Helmick.

I don't have it now, but at the time I wrote her, it was 4116 Dartford.

Mr. Griffin.

Has she moved since then?

Mrs. Helmick.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

How many times have you been interviewed by the FBI?

Mrs. Helmick.

Twice.

Mr. Griffin.

The second. time, did they ask you these questions that I have just been asking you about who else you told?

Mrs. Helmick.

Yes, but I don't think I told them about me writing the letter, or I don't remember what I told them. I mean I have been so nervous and everything.

Mr. Griffin.

Why didn't you report this to the police or to the Federal authorities shortly after you heard about it?

Mrs. Helmick.

I didn't think it was anything.
