(Testimony of Andrew , Jr. Armstrong)

Mr. Armstrong.
No; he didn't know either.
Mr. Hubert.
You found out later, I think?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, there was a letter that he had received, which--pardon me--someone got it in this letter that I have the letter in my possession.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes?
Mr. Armstrong.
I don't have it, but the last I saw of the letter was when I showed it to one of the FBI men at the club.
Mr. Hubert.
It was a letter received by Jack? Or written by Jack?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; a letter written to Larry.
Mr. Hubert.
To Larry?
Mr. Armstrong.
From some girl in some other city.
Mr. Hubert.
All right.
Mr. Armstrong.
Did you send me this [presenting witness' letter of notice to depose to Counsel Hubert]?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, you remember what city it was sent from?
Mr. Hubert.
Well, isn't it a fact that you forwarded two letters?
Mr. Armstrong.
One that Larry was writing himself.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; to a girl called Gayle.
Mr. Armstrong.
Right, and one that he had received from her.
Mr. Hubert.
Was that letter opened?
Mr. Armstrong.
It was opened.
Mr. Hubert.
But it was still in the envelope?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And you just gave that to the FBI people?
Mr. Armstrong.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you find it?
Mr. Armstrong.
In Larry's belongings there in his room on a little table there.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he leave any belongings behind?
Mr. Armstrong.
He left some shirts, he left a pair of khakies, I think, or bluejeans---a pair of jeans.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he have any bags up in that room?
Mr. Armstrong.
He had one 1ittle bag, a sort of a little square bag with a little handle or two little handles like that [indicating].
Mr. Hubert.
By the measurements you are making, it is a bag about 12 to 15 inches in length?
Mr. Armstrong.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
And about 6 or 8 inches in height?
Mr. Armstrong.
About big enough to get a change of clothes in.
Mr. Hubert.
He didn't have another bag, did he?
Mr. Armstrong.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Was this bag you are talking about made of leather or cloth?
Mr. Armstrong.
It was made of leather.
Mr. Hubert.
And all he left behind was just this one change of clothing and two letters?
Mr. Armstrong.
Well, you see, Jack had bought him a change of clothes, you see. Jack bought him a suit. I think he left what he had--his change of clothing, and carried the suit with him.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you find these two letters, one written to him and one written by him?
Mr. Armstrong.
In the room where he slept on a table there.
Mr. Hubert.
They wasn't in the wastepaper basket?
Mr. Armstrong.
No; not that I recall.
Mr. Hubert.
When did you pick those things up?
Mr. Armstrong.
When the FBI's were there.
Mr. Hubert.
Not before?
Mr. Armstrong.
Not before.
Mr. Hubert.
So, you didn't pick them up on Saturday at all?
Mr. Armstrong.
No--I didn't even go in that room on Saturday. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know he had anything there they were looking for something with his handwriting on it, for something possibly where he had gone and we started searching where he was staying and we found those letters.
