(Testimony of Nancy Monnell Powell)
Mrs. Powell.
I don't know. I just saw this one girl, and she was a new girl, and I think he just got her off the street somewhere just to fill in in the show.
Mr. Griffin.
How about Joy Dale? Do you remember Joy Dale?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes, I remember Joy Dale.
Mr. Griffin.
Was she the one that showed up?
Mrs. Powell.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
You don't think much of Joy Dale, I take it, from your response?
Mrs. Powell.
No, because I read the article she wrote to a magazine, and it was a bunch of lies, and I don't like people that lie.
Mr. Griffin.
She wrote an article about Jack Ruby that wasn't true?
Mrs. Powell.
If they can't toll the truth, they don't need to say anything at all, and she broke her neck to make all these wild statements.
Mr. Griffin.
Did she use her own proper name in that magazine article?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't know. It was Joy Dale, is what it said.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that the name that was used, Joy Dale, in the magazine article?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember what magazine it was in?
Mrs. Powell.
In a little one. It made me sick. I didn't even buy it. It had a picture of her and pictures of Lynn in there. It was a small type magazine.
Mr. Griffin.
You all went from the Carousel Club to the Colony?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes. I was looking for Pappy to get some money. We were going immediately back to Fort Worth, because I didn't have any reason to be over there. Then we went to the Theatre Lounge, and I found Pappy and I got some money, and we got in the car and went back to Fort Worth and went out to the Three Twelve Club.
Mr. Griffin.
Where is the Three Twelve Club?
Mrs. Powell.
On Lancaster in Fort Worth. (2701 E. Lancaster.)
Mr. Griffin.
About what time did you get to the Three Twelve Club?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't know. It must have been around 11.
Mr. Griffin.
How long did you stay there?
Mrs. Powell.
Until they closed.
Mr. Griffin.
What time was that?
Mrs. Powell.
12
Mr. Griffin.
Then what did you do?
Mrs. Powell.
Then I took them home and I went home, I guess.
Mr. Griffin.
You hesitate. Now, what did you do?
Mrs. Powell.
I either went home or went to the Cellar. I guess I went home.
Mr. Griffin.
The Cellar, is that another club?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Where is the Cellar?
Mrs. Powell.
Fort Worth.
Mr. Griffin.
What makes you think you went to the Cellar?
Mrs. Powell.
Because I went to the Cellar sometimes because the Cellar was open all night.
Mr. Griffin.
Is it an all night club?
Mr. Powell.
Yes, sir. That is where the Secret men go.
Mr. Griffin.
I am not in the Secret Service.
Mrs. Powell.
Pat said he would probably be called to ask him about getting them drunk on purpose. But they don't have drinks down there. I had a rum and coke.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that rum extract?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes. Anyway, whether I went home or not, I may have gone by the Cellar, or home, one or the two. I really don't remember. I can't remember all those things away back then.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember while you were at the Colony Club about Little Lynn and Bruce going out any place?
Mrs. Powell.
No; she made a phone call. Did I tell you she called Jack and asked him?
