(Testimony of Elnora Pitts)

Mr. Hubert.
How did you know it was Andrew Armstrong you were talking to on these previous occasions when you spoke to him on the telephone?
Mrs. Pitts.
He told me who he was, Andrews.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you recognize his voice?
Mrs. Pitts.
Yes, sir. I recognized his voice when I seen him up there and somebody called him Andrews, and then----
Mr. Hubert.
So the conversation you had prior to the time Mr. Ruby was arrested, those conversations with Andrew were all over the phone and you had never met him before?
Mrs. Pitts.
See, I don't have I don't have any conversations with Andrews since Mr. Ruby been in jail.
Mr. Hubert.
I understand that the conversations you had prior to the time Mr. Ruby went to jail, with Andrew, were all over the phone and it was at a time you had never met him before, is that right?
Mrs. Pitts.
You mean when I was there working there?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mrs. Pitts.
And he would call and something would be wrong at the club, and he'd call and say he needed Ruby.
Mr. Hubert.
There?
Mrs. Pitts.
That's right, and I'd say, well, he's not here.
Mr. Hubert.
You had never met Andrew at that time?
Mrs. Pitts.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
But, you recognized his voice and subsequently when you met him you recognized his voice, too?
Mrs. Pitts.
As I----I asked him, I says--somebody called him, and Andrew--and I said, "Oh,"--I said, "You are the Andrew who used to call out at the house." And he says, "Yes." Thought I was, at first, Alice, somebody by the name of Alice, and I said, "Elnora." Oh, yes, I see.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a girl by the name of Alice?
Mrs. Pitts.
No, sir; I didn't know her.
Mr. Hubert.
Did she live in the apartment?
Mrs. Pitts.
That, I don't know if she I guess she must have worked at the club. I think she worked down at the club. I never did see her.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a lady by the name of Alice Nichols?
Mrs. Pitts.
No, sir; I don't know none of them people that worked down to his place.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, all right. Is there anything else that you know about?
Mrs. Pitts.
Sir?
Mr. Hubert.
Is there anything you know about that you haven't stated to me?
Mrs. Pitts.
No, I never did go to his club. I have never met none of thosepeople there, and----
Mr. Hubert.
Is there anything that you testified to in court that you haven't said here?
Mrs. Pitts.
No, sir; nothing. I told you the truth. Just testified the truth on how he talked to me.
Mr. Hubert.
Your testimony today is about the same as it was in court, is that right?
Mrs. Pitts.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know anything else concerning Mr. Ruby that would throw any light upon why he shot Oswald, if he did, or what his connection was with Oswald or with anybody else in any manner?
Mrs. Pitts.
That is something I do not know.
Mr. Hubert.
You do not know?
Mrs. Pitts.
No, sir. I don't even know this Oswald. I don't know a thing in the world. about that.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a boy by the name of Larry Crafard?
Mrs. Pitts.
Well, no.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, I will show you some pictures of a man here taken in different poses. Have you ever seen that man?
Mrs. Pitts.
