Mrs. Richey.

I don't know if he hit her.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he threaten her in any way?

Mrs. Richey.

You have got to understand I'm working there while all this is going and I can't recall him saying anything. I don't even know if he hit her, because her dressing room was like this and then back down, and so it was, you know, you couldn't see it from where we worked. And I know they were hollering. But now I can't tell you what they were saying. I just know they were kind of raising their voices.

Mr. Griffin.

Had you seen her snap this G-string on more than one occasion?

Mrs. Richey.

No; I just happened to see her this one time and that was the first night she was ever ,there that she did this, and then she was wearing less than what the other girls were wearing, and Jack made her get a different little dohickey more.

Mr. Griffin.

Now she started work there in the middle of the summer, didn't she?

Mrs. Richey.

She couldn't have started in the middle of the summer. She didn't come until after I was working there, and I know it was after I was working there but I don't remember the date.

Mr. Griffin.

You started in June?

Mrs. Richey.

I stared in June.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall if Jada was there by Labor Day?

Mrs. Richey.

Labor Day is in September; isn't it?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mrs. Richey.

I can't remember. I remember she was a big draw card. I mean you know people really came to see her for awhile there.

Mr. Griffin.

This incident with the G-string though, you saw it in the very first act?

Mrs. Richey.

The very first time she was ever up there, I mean you know we'd heard so much about the big great Jada and we were really thinking boy this is going to be different; and it was. But here Jack told her that she couldn't do that, that she'd have to get more clothes on than what she had on. She couldn't do that in Texas.

Mr. Griffin.

Did she then put on more clothes?

Mrs. Richey.

I can't remember if she did the same night or not but I know finally she did get some little other things.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he have troubles with her though after the first night?

Mrs. Richey.

They were generally fussing about a lot of things. I mean I don't remember what they are, but that was the one thing that I know was the big thing as far as I know. But the rest of the things I don't know. I mean he'd fuss at her because she's late and it seems like she went to New Orleans one time for her son or something like this, and she didn't get back, and he kind of got mad about this. But that is all I remember them fussing about is just those two incidents, and her being late.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you notice anything about Jack in the 2 or 3 months before he shot Oswald that would indicate that he was more or less disturbed about things in general than he had been on other occasions?

Mrs. Richey.

No; I don't think so.

Mr. Griffin.

Jack's behavior in the month, would you say that Jack's behavior in the month or so before the President arrived was typical of his behavior at other times?

Mrs. Richey.

I didn't pay particular attention, but I mean to me it seems like that this wasn't any change at all.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall any arguments or differences of opinion that he had with any of his MC's, masters of ceremony?

Mrs. Richey.

Wally Weston.

Mr. Griffin.

What was that?

Mrs. Richey.

I don't know what it.was. I just remember that Wally was a good MC. I mean he was the best that they had ever had, and something happened and I don't know what it was, but Wally either quit or got fired, and I was there the night that he quit, but they were hollering, and when Jack hollers you don't understand what he is saying because he has got a little bit of an accent
