(Testimony of Marjorie R. Richey)

Mrs. Richey.
9 o'clock.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you come to work on the night of Thursday, November 21? That is the night before President Kennedy arrived in town.
Mrs. Richey.
Oh, gosh, I don't know really.
Mr. Griffin.
President Kennedy was assassinated on Friday. Do you have any present recollection of having been there?
Mrs. Richey.
I must have probably.
Mr. Richey.
Yes; you worked there a week before I left. I worked on the 20th.
Mrs. Richey.
Then I did.
Mr. Griffin.
I take it from what you said though that November 21 was not a night when you remembered anything in particular about what happened?
Mrs. Richey.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Where you aware before the President arrived in Dallas that he was coming to Dallas?
Mrs. Richey.
I don't even really know that for sure.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have any recollection of having talked with Jack Ruby or Jack Ruby ever having mentioned anything about the President's coming to Dallas?
Mrs. Richey.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you familiar with a dancer by the name of Tammi True?
Mrs. Richey.
I knew her as a speaking acquaintance, but as far as really being friendly with her, no.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall that during the week before the President was assassinated, that Tammi quit her job or left her employment with Mr. Ruby?
Mrs. Richey.
I know she quit; but I can't say that it was right there in that week. I can't remember these things.
Mr. Griffin.
Can you tell us what you remember about the circumstances under which she quit?
Mrs. Richey.
Under which she quit?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes. Did she have an argument with Mr. Ruby or what was the reason that you know about?
Mrs. Richey.
I don't know really. I don't remember.
Mr. Griffin.
Directing your attention to the day that the President was killed which is Friday, November 22, do you remember where you were at the time that you first learned President Kennedy had been shot?
Mrs. Richey.
I was in bed asleep.
Mr. Griffin.
And how did it come to your attention?
Mrs. Richey.
My mother was watching "As the World Turns" and she woke me and she says, "The President's been shot" and I said, "huh." And she said, "Yea." I said, "You are kidding" and she said, "come here and see it. It is on the TV." I had just got in there and then they were down there, the reporters and all were down there, and that is where I was at.
Mr. Griffin.
What was the first contact you had that day on the 22d with anybody associated with the Carousel Club?
Mrs. Richey.
With Andrew I guess. I am not real sure. Now I can't be positive about these things. I remember more after he was killed because I was asked questions about it, you know, about the days afterwards. But before they didn't ask me and they don't stick in my mind.
Mr. Griffin.
Maybe my question isn't clear. I am asking you after you heard that the President had been shot--
Mrs. Richey.
The President had been shot?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes; when did you next hear from or talk to somebody connected with the club?
Mrs. Richey.
I must have talked to the man that kept bar, because I think that I called him and asked him if we were going to be open that night because it was saying that the rest of the clubs were going to be closed. Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was that man?
Mrs. Richey.
Andrew Armstrong.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall where you telephoned him at?
Mrs. Richey.
At his home.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he--- you have any clear recollection of this?
