(Testimony of Nancy Monnell Powell)
Mrs. Powell.
I know when we went, we stopped at the parking lot, when we went to the club, and it was closed. I know she made a phone call from the parking lot.
Mr. Griffin.
How do you know that?
Mrs. Powell.
Because I know she didn't make it in the club. I don't think she did. Hell, she may have. She might have; I don't remember, really. All I know is what she came back and said after she got through talking on the phone. What she said is that Jack was real mad and was hollering, "Don't you have any respect for the President," and said that he couldn't bring her the money right then, or something, but that he would send it to her the next day, something. And I know Bruce wanted to know if we could go by and pick it up, and we discussed that, but for some reason he was going to send it; I don't know.
Mr. Griffin.
You don't remember getting any money on Saturday night?
Mrs. Powell.
Her getting any money?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mrs. Powell.
I don't know where she would get it from, because she was with me, and we didn't go any place to get any money. I didn't loan them any money. I came over to get money from Pappy myself.
Mr. Griffin.
Didn't Lynn borrow any money from Pappy?
Mrs. Powell.
Not that I know of.
Mr. Griffin.
She was with you when you went to Pappy's?
Mrs. Powell.
I think I cornered Pappy in the parking lot, and I think that they stayed up in the club, in the Colony Club.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see anybody up in the Colony Club that worked for Jack?
Mrs. Powell.
Nope.
Mr. Griffin.
Were any of his friends up there?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't remember whether I did or not. I remember seeing Abe. I don't really remember. I don't recall.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you make any stops between Dallas and Fort Worth on the way back?
Mrs. Powell.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you go past Jack's apartment?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't think so.
Mr. Griffin.
You seem to have some hesitation?
Mrs. Powell.
Well, the reason I am doing that is because I know there was some sort of discussion about going by there to pick the money up, which we didn't. I don't think we did. I think that we went directly to Fort Worth.
Mr. Griffin.
You hadn't made any arrangements yourself to see either Jack or Ralph Paul Saturday night, had you?
Mrs. Powell.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk to Ralph that day at all?
Mrs. Powell.
Well, I don't think I talked to him that day. I don't think I did. I may have, but I don't think I so. I don't' remember.
Mr. Griffin.
You were still dating Ralph at that time?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't remember that either. I was trying to remember. I don't think so. I don't remember. I just can't remember things like that.
Mr. Griffin.
You saw him the next day?
Mrs. Powell.
I am the one that called him and told him.
Mr. Griffin.
Where were you when you called him?
Mrs. Powell.
I was at home. He was at work, and a friend of mine called me and told me that Jack had done this thing.
Mr. Griffin.
Who called you?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't know, one of my girl friends. Two or three of my girlfriends. Betty, this friend of mine, called first.
Mr. Griffin.
What is Betty's name?
Mrs. Powell.
Betty Stowbaugh.
Mr. Griffin.
Who else called you?
Mrs. Powell.
I think Barbara called.
Mr. Griffin.
Who is she?
Mrs. Powell.
Barbara Wagner. Why do you want to know all the people that called? It was on TV, and they called to let me know.
