(Testimony of Harry N. Olsen)

Mr. Specter.
Do you know whether Kay telephoned Ruby or Ruby telephoned Kay on the occasion?
Mr. Olsen.
No; I don't.
Mr. Specter.
How long were you at that garage at Jackson and Field before you saw Jack Ruby on that Friday night or early Saturday morning?
Mr. Olsen.
Oh, 30 minutes to an hour, I guess.
Mr. Specter.
Could that garage be located on Jackson and Akard, A-k-a-r-d?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
How far is Jackson and Akard from Jackson and Field?
Mr. Olsen.
One block.
Mr. Specter.
Did you discuss with Ruby the fact that he closed his club that night?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
What did you say to him, if you recall?
Mr. Olsen.
I said that it should be closed.
Mr. Specter.
Did you congratulate him for having closed it?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe I did.
Mr. Specter.
Did you shake his hand?
Mr. Olsen.
I don't recall.
Mr. Specter.
Were you pretty emotionally upset about the assassination of President Kennedy at that time?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Was Kay pretty emotionally upset about the assassination at that time?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
How about Johnny?
Mr. Olsen.
He was, too; yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And how about Ruby?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
What indication was there that you observed that Ruby was emotionally upset about the assassination?
Mr. Olsen.
He was very nervous.
Mr. Specter.
In what way was that evident?
Mr. Olsen.
Oh, in his speech and his actions.
Mr. Specter.
Was there any other indication that you were able to observe that Ruby was upset about the assassination?
Mr. Olsen.
Oh, the way he talked, and that was it.
Mr. Specter.
Did Ruby mention anything about the Weissman advertisement that appeared in the Dallas papers earlier that day?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
What did he say about that?
Mr. Olsen.
He said they shouldn't be open.
Mr. Specter.
What Weissman advertisement had appeared earlier that day?
Mr. Olsen.
Just the usual ad in the paper about them being open.
Mr. Specter.
Was there any advertisement in the paper that day containing derogatory statements about President Kennedy?
Mr. Olsen.
There was something in the paper, I believe, about somebody carrying banners in one part of town.
Mr. Specter.
What kind of banners were those?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe they were about President Kennedy, and what they said, I don't remember what it was.
Mr. Specter.
Do you remember Ruby's comment about that, or whether he made one?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe he did say something about that.
Mr. Specter.
Do you recall what it was?
Mr. Olsen.
He said that it wasn't right, and "I just wonder how they feel about it now."
Mr. Specter.
Did he say anything about the radicals in Dallas at that particular time?
Mr. Olsen.
Not that I remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did he say anything about the effect of all that on the Jews?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe he did.
