(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)

Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Armstrong.
No everything was as usual.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you talk to Jack about the forthcoming visit of the President?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; we didn't discuss the visit of the President. As a matter of fact, I got behind on the date. I was planning on being downtown that day--that morning myself.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, now, didn't you ask Jack to adjust your schedule in such a way that you could go and see the parade and see the President pass by?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, my schedule of the President was already passed by when I got downtown.
Mr. Hubert.
I'm talking about prior to the time to November 22---a day or two before, didn't you discuss with Jack about going to see the parade?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, I think I mentioned it to somebody that I would be over to see the parade.
Mr. Hubert.
Didn't you talk to Jack about it?
Mr. Armstrong.
I don't know for sure it could have been Jack now.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall any comment that he made about going to see the parade?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he seem to be interested in the President's visit?
Mr. Armstrong.
I remember there was something about a conversation going on between him and someone that--I was passing by on the way to the bus--and it was that he seemed delighted that the President was coming to Dallas.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, you overheard Jack say something to someone to the effect that he was glad or delighted that the President was coming to Dallas?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember how long before the assassination you heard Jack say that?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; I don't--sure don't.
Mr. Hubert.
Were there any special plans being made in the club in connection with the President's visit?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, suppose you start off with your activities on the night before the President was shot, say the 21st did you go home at the usual time?
Mr. Armstrong.
At the usual time.
Mr. Hubert.
Which is to say--1 o'clock?
Mr. Armstrong.
1 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
And your time for reporting would have been when?
Mr. Armstrong.
My time for working was 1 o'clock the next day.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you report at 1?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes; I was there a little before 1.
Mr. Hubert.
How long before 1?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, you could say--let's see, I stopped and got a haircut and I must have been on the 12 o'clock bus from out where I live.
Mr. Hubert.
What time did you get up that day?
Mr. Armstrong.
It was pretty early, I think I must have gotten up about 10 o'clock or 9:30---about 9 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
Then you went to get a haircut?
Mr. Armstrong.
I went to get a haircut.
Mr. Hubert.
And that's all you did between the time you got up and the time you got to the club?
Mr. Armstrong.
That's all I did.
Mr. Hubert.
And you got to the club about what time?
Mr. Armstrong.
It must have been about 12:15 12:20, or something like that, because when I got downtown I could see portions of the parade, you know, like I got off of the bus at Main and Field--at Main and Akard, I'm sorry, which is the usual stop, I always get off at Main and Akard, and further down you could see portions of the parade, but I felt that I had missed the parade I didn't realize that I had missed the parade until I was in the barber shop and thought, well, maybe I'll get downtown, I said to myself, and I will
