Warren Commission (05 of 26): Hearings Vol. V (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
I finally left the club. I am sure you gentlemen can brief in all the
things that happened before. A kid by the name of Larry up there, I
think I told him to send the dog they crated, to find out about the
price--very implusive about everything.
Then I left the club. And I had been dieting, but I felt I wanted some
food. I can't explain it. It would be like getting intoxicated at that
particular time. It is amusing, but it is true.
I went over to the Ritz Delicatessen a block and a half away. Must have
bought out the store, for about $10 worth of delicacies and so on. Went
out to my sister's and stayed at her apartment.
Oh, I called from the apartment--my sister knew more of my calls than I
did. I remember I think I called--I can't think of who I called.
Anyway, I am sure I made some calls of what had happened there.
Somebody will have to piece me together from the time I got to my
sister's apartment where I had partaken of the food.
Oh yes, I called Andy. This Andy Armstrong called me and said, "Don
Safran wants you to call him."
This is rare for this gentleman, because he is a columnist for the
Dallas Times Herald, because he never could get out any copy for my
club. And he said, "Don Safran wants me to call him."
I called him, and he said, "Jack, are you going to be closed tonight?"
I said, "Yes."
He said, "Well, the Cabana and the Adolphus, the Century Room, are
going to be closed."
I said, "Don, I am not asking you about any clubs that are going to be
closed. I know I am going to be closed."
And he said, "Jack, that is what I want to know."
And I said, "You don't have to prompt me about who else is going to be
closed."
I put the receiver down and talked to my sister, and I said, "Eva, what
shall we do?"
And she said, "Jack, let's close for the 3 days." She said, "We don't
have anything anyway, but we owe it to"--(chokes up).
So I called Don Safran back immediately and I said, "Don, we decided to
close for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday."
And he said, "Okay."
Then I called the Morning News and I wanted to definitely make sure
to change a copy of my ad to "Closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,"
something to that effect.
And it was a little late in the afternoon, but he said, "we will try to
get the copy in."
Then I called Don back again but couldn't get him, and I spoke to one
of his assistants, and I said, I forget what I told him. Anyway, that
is one of the calls I had that had transpired.
I lie down and take a nap. I wake about 7 or 7:30. In the meantime, I
think I called--the reason this comes back to me, I know I was going to
go to the synagogue.
I called Coleman Jacobson and asked him what time services are tonight,
and he said he didn't know.
And I said, "Are there going to be any special services?"
And he said he didn't know of any.
And I called the Congregation Shearith Israel and asked the girl, and
she said, "Regular services at 8 o'clock."
