(Testimony of Harry N. Olsen)

Mr. Specter.
What did he say about that?
Mr. Olsen.
No; he didn't; I don't believe he said anything about that; no.
Mr. Specter.
Now, at about what time was it----
Mr. Olsen.
Let me think about that for a minute, will you?
Mr. Specter.
Go ahead; take your time.
Mr. Olsen.
I heard something about him saying after he shot Oswald that he wondered if the other Jews would blame him for what he had done.
Mr. Specter.
Did you hear that from Ruby personally?
Mr. Olsen.
No; it was hearsay.
Mr. Specter.
Who told you that?
Mr. Olsen.
I either read it or heard it.
Mr. Specter.
Do you recall where you read it?
Mr. Olsen.
I believe----
Mr. Specter.
Or from whom you heard it?
Mr. Olsen.
It was either in the paper or from someone who had been to visit him.
Mr. Specter.
Who might it have been who was to visit him?
Mr. Olsen.
Wally Weston.
Mr. Specter.
Who is Wally Weston?
Mr. Olsen.
He was the master of ceremonies there in his club.
Mr. Specter.
When did you last talk to Wally Weston?
Mr. Olsen.
When I was in the hospital after the car accident.
Mr. Specter.
When did that car accident occur?
Mr. Olsen.
December 7.
Mr. Specter.
How long were you in the hospital?
Mr. Olsen.
Two weeks, two and a half weeks.
Mr. Specter.
What injuries did you sustain in that automobile collision?
Mr. Olsen.
I rebroke my leg.
Mr. Specter.
In the same place?
Mr. Olsen.
The same place and some more breaks. And I cracked my chest bone.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating your sternum?
Mr. Olsen.
Yes, sir. And I broke some ribs.
Mr. Specter.
What hospital were you in?
Mr. Olsen.
Methodist.
Mr. Specter.
What else did Wally Weston have to say on that occasion, if anything, about Jack Ruby?
Mr. Olsen.
He couldn't understand why he did it.
Mr. Specter.
Did Weston say anything further about Jack Ruby?
Mr. Olsen.
Not that I remember.
Mr. Specter.
Have you now told me everything you can remember about that conversation among you and Ruby and Kay and Johnny that night in the garage?
Mr. Olsen.
Between who?
Mr. Specter.
Ruby, Kay, Johnny, and you at the garage the Friday night or early Saturday morning of the assassination.
Mr. Olsen.
I can't think of anything else. It was a conversation about what had happened to the President and Officer Tippit, and everyone was very upset about it.
Mr. Specter.
What time, to the best of your ability or recollection, did that conversation end?
Mr. Olsen.
Two or three in the morning.
Mr. Specter.
What did you do after that?
Mr. Olsen.
I took Kay home.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see any----
Mr. Olsen.
Jack left.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see anybody or talk to anybody else later that night?
Mr. Olsen.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And what did you do after taking Kay home?
Mr. Olsen.
We talked a while.
Mr. Specter.
And what did you do next?
Mr. Olsen.
I think I went home.
