Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And where have you lived since 1958?

Oh, I had to go back to Illinois. He was sick and I had to go back, and then we moved to Salina, Kans.
Mr. Specter.
You reunited?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And when did you live in Salina, Kans.?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, that was the latter part of 1958.
Mr. Specter.
And where did you move from Salina, Kans.?
Mrs. Olsen.
Wichita.
Mr. Specter.
How long did you live in Wichita?
Mrs. Olsen.
About 6 months.
Mr. Specter.
And where did you next live after your residency in Wichita, Kans.?
Mrs. Olsen.
Dallas.
Mr. Specter.
When did you move to Dallas?
Mrs. Olsen.
June 1961.
Mr. Specter.
How long did you reside in Dallas?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, let me see. We came out here in January of 1964. Two and a half years.
Mr. Specter.
Have you resided here in Los Angeles since January of this year?
Mrs. Olsen.
February 1.
Mr. Specter.
Of 1964?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Did you know Jack Ruby?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
When did you first meet Mr. Ruby?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, it was around July 1961.
Mr. Specter.
What were the circumstances of your meeting him?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, I just went up to his club to see some girlfriends.
Mr. Specter.
What club is that?
Mrs. Olsen.
Carousel Club.
Mr. Specter.
And how did you happen to meet him?
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, he asked me to go to work for him.
Mr. Specter.
And were you subsequently employed by Mr. Ruby?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, it took me about a month to think it over, because everybody thought he wouldn't last, you know, they thought his business wouldn't last, competition wise, you know, and I went to work for him, I guess it was the latter part of July.
Mr. Specter.
Of what year?
Mrs. Olsen.
1961.
Mr. Specter.
And how long did you work for him altogether?
Mrs. Olsen.
TWO years and four months; on and off.

Very good.
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever have any disagreements with him?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; about, you know, trying to get a day off.
Mr. Specter.
What was the cause, did you say, of the disagreement?
Mrs. Olsen.
Trying to get a day off. That was about it.
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever have any other difficulties with Mr. Ruby?
Mrs. Olsen.
No; not really.
Mr. Specter.
Was there ever romantic interest between you and Mr. Ruby?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
How did you meet Mr. Olsen, your husband?
