Mrs. Olsen.
Andrew.
Mr. Specter.
Andrew what?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know.
Mr. Specter.
At the Carousel Club?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And what did the bartender say
Mrs. Olsen.
I didn't get to talk to Jack Ruby. Apparently he was crying and everything.
Mr. Specter.
How do you know that?
Mrs. Olsen.
Andy told me. And I said, "What is Jack doing?" And he said, "Oh, he is all upset and he is crying." And he said, "We are closed tonight." And after an this happened, oh, I had no desire to get back in that business or anything, I was Just sick over it anyway, so that's when I said, "Well, I'm not going back." I didn't tell Jack this or anything, you know, because, you see, we are union and we have to give notice.
Mr. Specter.
You told Mr. Olsen that day that you did not intend to go back to work for Mr. Ruby
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, business, the whole business, I was through.
Mr. Specter.
And you made a telephone call from the house that Mr. Olsen was guarding?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
What did you do after that?
Mrs. Olsen.
I went home.
Mr. Specter.
At about what time did you make that telephone call?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, I guess it was around 1:15. The President was killed at 1 o'clock, wasn't he?
Mr. Specter.
12:30.
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, I must have got there a little before that, then, because I didn't hear it until I sat in the car with Harry.
Mr. Specter.
Well, didn't some lady tell you about it at the 7-11 store?
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, she said the President had been shot; that's what she said.
Mr. Specter.
Then what is your best recollection about when you left that house?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, I guess about 1:30. So I must have called about 1:15.
Mr. Specter.
Then where did you go next?
Mrs. Olsen.
I was going to take the girls to the show.
Mr. Specter.
What show?
Mrs. Olsen.
I didn't know.
Mr. Specter.
Some movie?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes; a movie. And, well, I didn't; I wasn't in the mood to sit in a movie, you know, and I really can't remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see anybody that afternoon?
Mrs. Olsen.
I went and sat with my landlady.
Mr. Specter.
What is her name?
Mrs. Olsen.
She was the manager of the apartment; Mrs. Hall. We sat there.
Mr. Specter.
What is Mrs. Hall's first name?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know.
Mr. Specter.
Where does she live
Mrs. Olsen.
Ewing; 325 North Ewing.
Mr. Specter.
When you left the house that Mr. Olsen was guarding, did you go right back to your own residence?
Mrs. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see anybody that afternoon besides Mrs. Hall?
Mrs. Olsen.
No. just, I guess, neighbors.
Mr. Specter.
Which neighbors?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know. I can't remember the names.
Mr. Specter.
Did you telephone anybody?
Mrs. Olsen.
No; I don't think so.
Mr. Specter.
And what did you do later in the afternoon, if anything?
Mrs. Olsen.
I fixed supper for Harry and the girls. I think he got off about 4 that day.
