(Testimony of Kay Helen Olsen)

Mr. Specter.
What did you observe about him that led you to the conclusion that he was upset?
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, he looked awful tired and he would sit back and stare off into space, and he never cried or anything, but, you know, he would just keep saying over and over how terrible it was, what a wonderful man the President was and how sorry he felt for Mrs. Kennedy and the children.
Mr. Specter.
After Mr. Ruby left what did you and Mr. Olsen do next?
Mrs. Olsen.
We came home to my house.
Mr. Specter.
What time did you arrive at your house?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, let me see. It was kind of late, I guess around 3.
Mr. Specter.
What did you do next?
Mrs. Olsen.
I guess I went to bed.
Mr. Specter.
What did Mr. Olsen do?
Mrs. Olsen.
He left. He was living on Theatre yes, he left.
Mr. Specter.
He was living where?
Mrs. Olsen.
Theatre Lane. He went to Theatre Lane.
Mr. Specter.
What time did you awaken the next morning, which would have been Saturday?
Mrs. Olsen.
Now, can I ask you, is this the day Oswald was shot?
Mr. Specter.
Oswald was shot on Sunday.
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, Saturday ? Oh, I would say around 11.
Mr. Specter.
Did you----
Mrs. Olsen.
I had to go pick up my daughters, see, from the babysitter.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see anybody that you knew on that Saturday?
Mrs. Olsen.
I can't remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did you telephone anybody?
Mrs. Olsen.
I can't remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did anyone telephone you?
Mrs. Olsen.
Well, I have girl friends, you know, and we probably called each other.
Mr. Specter.
Can you recall any specific girl friend who either called you or whom you called?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see Mr. Olsen later that day?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know if he was working or not. I can't remember.
Mr. Specter.
Do you recall when you did see him next?
Mrs. Olsen.
No. Oh, we went out that evening.
Mr. Specter.
Where did you go?
Mrs. Olsen.
I don't know. I can't remember. I'm not being very helpful, am I? But it was what, 9 months ago.
Mr. Specter.
Do you recall seeing anybody else you knew on that evening besides Mr. Olsen?
Mrs. Olsen.
We saw Jack Ruby standing outside of his club. We parked.
Mr. Specter.
What time was that?
Mrs. Olsen.
Oh, I guess around 9. And he was standing outside and he covered up all these pictures or something.
Mr. Specter.
He had covered up the pictures?
Mrs. Olsen.
I think he had covered up pictures.
Mr. Specter.
What pictures did he cover up?
Mrs. Olsen.
Of the girls, you know, in the show. I think he covered them up or something, or took them out or something.
Mr. Specter.
Why did he do that, do you know?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Did you talk to Mr. Ruby on that occasion?
Mrs. Olsen.
No. We just pulled in the parking lot and said "Hi, how are you," and he said "OK." It was just hello and goodbye, you know.
Mr. Specter.
Have you ever talked to Mr. Ruby since that time?
Mrs. Olsen.
No.
Mr. Specter.
What did you do next?
Mrs. Olsen.
That evening?
Mr. Specter.
Yes.
Mrs. Olsen.
We went out, but I can't remember where.
